[07:57] Chaos Angel Sox: heh, so impatient I am for huggles :)
[07:57] arynwyn: =P

[07:57] arynwyn: >.<
[07:57] arynwyn: I downloaded the patch. We get voicechat now!
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: yay! 
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: wait, are they already done? I thought it'd take a long time...
[07:58] arynwyn: You can get the patch but the servers are still down.
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: oh okee. ^_^; I'll just wait until I go to log on again. <more random huggles>
[07:59] arynwyn: Yay for random huggles! <huggles back>
[07:59] Chaos Angel Sox: so whatcha wanna do? I can be up for a few hours if I have good company ;)

[08:00] Chaos Angel Sox: :)
[08:00] arynwyn: ^^
[08:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles AIM and its longer character limit....not that I've needed it so far...>
[08:00] arynwyn: Haha. 
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: I keep hitting Enter before I type though >.>
[08:01] arynwyn: You want to RP? 
[08:01] arynwyn: I do too. I was *just* going to say that too...
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox:  of course :)  <laugh>  I used to RP in AIM a lot, and you're so good.
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: No one RPs like you, mmmm yeah.
[08:01] arynwyn: Me? You emailed the idea...
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: (angel)
[08:02] Chaos Angel Sox: <---- totally innocent.
[08:02] arynwyn: <giggle> Suuure.
[08:02] arynwyn: Wak. Don't like it.
[08:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ooo we're messing with zee fonts.
[08:02] arynwyn: Better? Yes, better.
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: back in the day, we used to use different colors to represent different characters.  Lemme see if I can still pull this crazy offf.
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: off even
[08:03] arynwyn: Okies.
[08:03] arynwyn: We doing Ren & Rav?
[08:04] arynwyn: (( What's it mean when it says ChaosAngelSox has entered text? ))
[08:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: I used to be emo but now I'm getting confidence...probably 'cause I'm also getting laid.
 Xenoliya: I'm still a selfish, manipulative bitch, but damn I'm SO sexy at it.
 
 Yep I can still do it. ^_^ And yes, we can do Ren & Rav. :D  I was just testing with those two since I didn't want to use any of your characters for testing.
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: It means I typed something but I haven't hit send yet.
[08:05] arynwyn: <LOL>
[08:05] arynwyn: Ah.
[08:05] arynwyn: We need to deal with Xeno... She's gunna be PISSED.
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah she is; Keth's going to be dealing with sudden demon banshee teacher >.>
[08:05] arynwyn: =(
[08:05] arynwyn: Oh dear.
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: She's been in a REALLY GOOD mood the last couple of days.  Suspiciously good.  Still, she's been letting him go earlier so he can spend more time with Zadie, so he's not looking the gift horse in the mouth.
[08:06] arynwyn: Hehe.
[08:06] arynwyn: <scared>
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: awww why for scared?
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: no be scared! <chocolate covered lesbian teddy medics to the rescue!>
[08:06] arynwyn: I don't want anyone to die! >.>
[08:06] arynwyn: <giggles>
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: No one's gonna die.
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: >.>
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: <.<
[08:07] arynwyn: You're so reassuring...
[08:07] arynwyn: =P
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: <snicker>
[08:07] arynwyn: Okay... so, when should we start? The next morning?
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: I actually have the normal ZBoard keyset in; this is...well not a first, but it's a second.  Anyway...umm....right, the next morning!  <giggles>
[08:08] arynwyn: Haha.
[08:08] arynwyn: <ponders chips and French Onion dip...
[08:08] arynwyn: >
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Go for it! live the dream!
[08:08] arynwyn: Haha, okay. Brb.
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <ponders Rav-ness and tries to pick a color for her...>
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Is this color even visible?
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Hm
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: I could just go with this.
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: it's easier >.> 
 <peers at her empty, needing to be washed and refilled with cereal, cereal bowl>
[08:11] arynwyn: Do eeeet. 
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: eeeeeeeeeeet
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles>
[08:11] arynwyn: And I realized I got a ginormous bag of chips. >.>
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: you say that like it's a bad thing.......
[08:11] arynwyn: Well, I didn't get enough dip...
[08:12] arynwyn: Color test...
[08:12] arynwyn: This an ok Ren color you think?
[08:14] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> good ren color
[08:14] arynwyn: Kk
[08:14] Chaos Angel Sox: <gets Rav's color back>
[08:16] arynwyn: Ren: <feels the warm sunlight hit his face and he opens his eyes, slowly remembering what had happened last night. he is spooning ((NOT FORKING! <giggle>-)) Rav with one arm draped over her waist. he pulls her close and kisses her neck, smiling to himself>
[08:16] arynwyn: ((*<giggles> ))
[08:17] arynwyn: (( No idea how that happened. >.> ))
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: (("Imaginary" just came on ^_~ and you know he totally wants to fork her...)) 
 Rav: <stirs at the kiss on her neck, eyelids struggling open> Mn? <she looks over her shoulder at him, and smiles drowsily at him> ...morning already?
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You have Trillian?))
[08:18] arynwyn: (( Whassat? ))
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll take that as a no. ^_^))
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ack...too many "at him"s in there...blarghle.))
[08:20] arynwyn: Ren: <kisses her neck again> Yes, but you don't need to get up ye- Mina: <bursts through the door and flies up on the bed, all grins> MISS TRUEDAWN! <she hugs Rav tight>
[08:20] arynwyn: (( What is Trillian though? ))
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blinks at the sudden noise and blushes at being found in Ren's bedroom, let alone bed. She smiles and hugs Mina back though> I missed you, Mina. 
 ((It's like teh uber chat server - I'm on AIM and YIM at the same time.  If I had them, I could also be on ICQ and MSN.))
[08:21] arynwyn: (( <LOL> "Blarghle"... Nice. ))
[08:21] arynwyn: (( oooh, nice... ))
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Don't run it while WoW's going though >.> it'll cause lag like you wouldn't believe.))
[08:22] arynwyn: Ren: <can't suppress a smile> Mina... You know better. Mina: Yes, but... but Miss Truedawn is back! <she hugs Rav again, then, after looking at Ren again, sheepishly climbs down and leaves, shutting the door behind her>
[08:22] arynwyn: (( I'm sure. ))
[08:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <laughs through her blushing> ...well...that's a nice, if loud, way to wake up...<she sits up a little more, yawns and stretches, which causes the robe she borrowed from Ren to slip again. Still half-awake, she hasn't noticed that it's falling off one of her shoulders yet>
[08:26] arynwyn: (( <grin> eeeevil. )) Ren: <smiles and does his best not to let his eyes wander (failing only slightly) and stretches as well> As I was saying, you don't need to get up yet. Unfortunately, I do. I need to deal with this... situation. <he sighs and throws off the blankets, stepping out of the bed> Are you hungry, my sweet? I can have Mathilde bring something up for you. 
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Me, evil? You're the one who has him kissing her on the neck...))
 Rav: Situation? <she blinks a bit, then remembers>...oh, you mean...Ms. Evenstar.  <clears her throat, fidgets, and then realizes what's happened to the robe; she adjusts it as her blush, which had been starting to fade, reasserts itself> No, I'm fine...I'll get dressed and eat downstairs. <her left hand feels..heavier than normal. She looks down at the ring and smiles, toying with it as she thinks> I don't know that I'll get used to this...light, did all of this happen Last Night? Seems like a dream of something happening to someone else...
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay for italics.))
[08:30] arynwyn: (( Woo! ))
[08:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I wanted to go change the song playing and I tried to alt+tab out ~_~))
[08:34] arynwyn: Ren: <rummages in his closet for a robe> Are you sure? Do you want to eat with the children? I'm sure they haven't eaten by now... <pulls out a robe, then crosses the room to a door in a corner, stepping into the bathing room (which she can see as he opens it) and closes the door. he changes quickly, then reappears in a royal blue robe, stepping over to kiss her deeply> I'm sorry I have to leave so early, my sweet, but I need to meet with my magisters and see what they have to say. <he sighs, looking thoughtful> Unless you wanted to come as well? 
[08:34] arynwyn: (( Haha. ))
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <closes her eyes to savor the kiss, then reopens them as he pulls away and looks down at her lap> Um...I'd like to eat with the children.  I haven't apologized to them yet for leaving like that and then just showing up again out of nowhere last night.  <she toys with the ring idly> I don't know what help I'd be with the magisters, I mean...if you want me there...but I wouldn't know what to do or...to say.
[08:39] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles at her> I have no idea what I'm going to say either... In time, you will have to join me in these things; I want you as my partner in life, not as an ornament. But today, please, rest and enjoy your time. The children will love seeing you again. <he touches her cheek> I will be back for lunch, my dear. <a quick kiss, and he's off>
[08:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sighs and offers up a quick prayer for her fiance>Light, I have a fiance.  I've been out of the Temple less than a day...<then stands and crosses over to where she left the dress she was wearing last night, slipping back into it quickly.  She's still wearing Ren's mother's necklace; forgot that; she plays with it as well, goes to the bathing room to splash some water on her face and brush her hair, then slips her shoes on and goes downstairs, hoping she can remember where the kitchen is in this huge place>
[08:43] arynwyn: (( FF to Ren & Xenoliya? ))
[08:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure ^_^))
[08:43] arynwyn: (( Since the magisters would send for her... ))
[08:44] arynwyn: (( Start with her entrance, then. ))
 
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <saunters in, wearing what would normally be a standard black warlock's robe, if she hadn't made it low cut and tight. She smiles knowingly at Ren and sidles up to him> Good morning, Thandren.  So nice to see you again. <she tosses her long hair out of her face with practiced sensuality (which would normally have Keth temporarily forgetting how to speak...good thing he's not here)>
[08:48] arynwyn: Ren: <clears his throat nervously, stepping away from her> Hello, Xenoliya. <he glances at his magisters who have busied themselves with papers or other distractions. he sighs> Xenoliya, I'm going to get right to the point. I'm not marrying you. <he avoids looking at her>
[08:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Oh? <she arches an eyebrow and chuckles> Thandren, dearest, you do like playing risky games, and normally that's something I admire.  I would advise you not to gamble on this though. <she looks at the magisters significantly and then back at him> Or shall I give into my guilty conscience and start confessing this secret I've stumbled across right now?
[08:54] arynwyn: Ren: <closes his eyes briefly> What must I do to get this woman to leave me alone? Gods... How can I make her forget about me, about what I've done... Nothing short of killing her, I'm sure. Unless... she has secrets too... Is that what I must do? Blackmail her as she is doing to me? <he sighs and shakes his head> No, don't do that... <he glances at his magisters, trying to buy time, but finding no escuse, he starts for the door, resolved to contact Hal>
[08:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <follows after him, clutching one of his shoulders so she can lean in and whisper> Glad you've come to your senses, dear heart.  I would so *hate* to see your name dragged through the mud like that...and I would so like to see you in a tux.  I bet you look simply ravishing.  <kisses his ear for punctuation again and releases him, smirking>
[08:58] arynwyn: Ren: <glowers and pulls himself from her grasp, leaving the room> (( FF? What should Hal find out about her? ))
[08:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((  (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyfzbYqP3NE&NR=1)(Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyfzbYqP3NE&NR=1)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyfzbYqP3NE&NR=1  ))
[08:59] arynwyn: (( OH GOD! TOO FUNNY. <ROFL> ))
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she has risen to where she is in the Warlock community through blackmail and murder - mostly the latter.  She's careful enough that not only do they look like accidents/natural causes, but they're never traced back to her.  Those she has killed were obstacles to her rise and/or people she considered weak, unable to best serve their fellow warlocks and the throne.))
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ah copy & paste))
[09:01] arynwyn: (( So... They are going to have to pay big monies for a rogue to admit a contract came from her? ))
[09:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah it'll probably take some good money...unless someone owes Hal a favor or something like that.  The way this song is sung annoys me a little but the song is great: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIpEpG6qk10)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIpEpG6qk10  it obviously pre-dates BC though...))
[09:03] arynwyn: (( Mkay... ))
[09:03] arynwyn: Ren: <comes into the house fuming and heads straight to his study. the butler comes into the dining room to whisper to Rav that Ren has come home early and where he is>
[09:04] arynwyn: (( Do you know Charlie the Unicorn? ))
[09:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((don't think so...))
[09:04] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Lemme find it for you. Dunno if you'll like it but I thought it was hilarious... ))
[09:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles at the children and excuses herself, promising to return as soon as she can. She rises, leaves her napkin on the dinner table and heads to Ren's study, knocking respectfully> Thandren?
[09:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I forgot about this one: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd5hpX2dy8)(Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd5hpX2dy8)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd5hpX2dy8 one of my friends showed it to me))
[09:07] arynwyn: Ren: Come in... <is sitting at his desk, his face dark>
[09:07] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I HATE Gankers. ~_~ ))
[09:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <enters the room and frowns, shutting the door behind her when she sees his expression> Thandren...what's wrong? <she walks over, concerned>
[09:12] arynwyn: Ren: She... won't let me out of it. I need to do something drastic. There's only one way... <he sighs and drops his head into his hands> (( And <LoL> That's hilarious... ))
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <bends over and puts her arms around him awkwardly> ...which is...?
[09:14] arynwyn: Ren: Are you sure you want to know? Gods, all I've done is make you question your morals since we've met... <he stands and hugs her, burying his face him her hair> 
[09:15] arynwyn: *in
[09:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: That's not true at all.  <holds him tightly then pulls away just enough to be able to look him in the eye> I love you. <blushes and looks off to one side> But you don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable with it.  I know that you'll do the best you can.
[09:18] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles a little at the "I love you"> I love you too, Suravi. And I will tell you, because you deserve to know... to know what you marry. I hope you don't think me a monster, but... I'm going to contact The Wildfire and see if she can dig up any information on Xenoliya. <he looks away> She has a secret of mine, perhaps if I have some of hers, she will leave me alone.
[09:20] arynwyn: (( (Link: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/280260)http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/280260 and click on Watch this Movie ))
[09:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sighs> Thandren, I don't think you're a monster.  <she hugs him tightly> And...if it's what will...get you away from her...
[09:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ahh Newgrounds...))
[09:21] arynwyn: Ren: <kisses her forehead> I hope to gods it does... (( Do you want to do Xeno's rogue? ))
[09:23] arynwyn: (( Shun the non-believer! Shun! Shhhhhhuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn....  <giggles> ))
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<FOTCL @ the candy mountain song>))
[09:24] arynwyn: (( <laugh> YAY! ))
[09:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL>))
[09:25] arynwyn: (( I'm glad you like it. I showed it to Tim and he was like, "Uhm... right." >.> ))
[09:25] arynwyn: (( "This magical bridge of hope and wonder!" That's like my favorite line. <giggle> ))
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers> Um, and yeah I can be Xenoliya's rogue.))
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Please stop bouncing on me))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( okay. so... Hal contacts them and they arrange a meeting at Ren's cabin? ))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( <LoL> Yeah. ))
[09:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sounds good :) ))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Rav's going, yes? ))
[09:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't doubt it. ^_^))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[09:26] arynwyn: Ren: <paces impatiently in the cabin, one small candle burning on the table. he glances at Rav occasionally for reassurance>
[09:27] arynwyn: (( Oh, they took my frickin' kidney! ))
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I love the one unicorn jumping onto him going "Noooo!"))
[09:28] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <pats his hand reassuringly>  ((Hal showing up or just the other rogue))
[09:29] arynwyn: (( Both. ))
[09:29] arynwyn: (( Er, no.. just the other rogue. ))
[09:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <knock>
 Rav: <goes to answer the door...and no one's there that she can see. She looks around, confused, and then shuts the door>
 <a man in all black materializes, crouched near the floor; he stands and regards the two of them as if trying to find the best place to stick a knife>
[09:31] arynwyn: Ren: <steps between Rav and the man> You are the one the Wildfire sent? <he eyes the man carefully, sizing him up>
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: <the rogue nods, heads over to the table and has a seat; he's wearing a mask that hides everything but his eyes, which look over at the two of them in impatient curiosity>
 Rav: <pats Ren's arm reassuringly and then hesitantly goes to get some wine for the two of them>
[09:34] arynwyn: Ren: <sits down as well, swallowing> You have information on Xenoliya Evenstar? <thanks Rav as she brings over the wine>
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods in acknowledgement, then she sets the other cup in front of the rogue>
 <the rogue doesn't seem to acknowledge the cup; his mask muffles his voice> If you've the coin for it, I do.
[09:37] arynwyn: Ren: <nods> I am willing to pay. How much? <he takes a long drink of wine> But it must be something worth paying for.
[09:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <the rogue nods and quotes a price that actually does manage to fall short of exorbitant>...and worth every copper, to you.
[09:39] arynwyn: (( How much? ))
[09:39] arynwyn: (( Oh, nevermind. 0)
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((a lot but not as much as you might've expected ^_^;;))
[09:40] arynwyn: Ren: <nods and steps over to a corner to a bag of money he had brought> There's more than that in there, to make it worth your while. Now... please share.
[09:44] Chaos Angel Sox: <The rogue is quiet for a moment as if appraising this then says> I've been hired to help...advance her career from time to time, by removing certain obstacles to her success.  Naturally, she didn't want it to look like anything other than natural causes or an accident, and I was able to facilitate this for her. <he produces a piece of paper from...somewhere and slides it to the center of the table> This is a list of the jobs I have done for her and how they were truly eliminated.  Will this be satisfactory or do you want to hear details? <it's hard to tell through the mask, but he might be smiling>
[09:45] arynwyn: (( Is that enough for Xeno to leave them alone? ))
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah that'll do it.))
[09:46] arynwyn: Ren: <drops the bag of coin on the table and picks up the paper, looking it over, and wincing as he sees a couple of names he recognizes> Gods... <he sighs and folds the paper up> This will do. Thank you. 
[09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <the rogue picks up the bag of coins and makes it vanish. He nods to Ren and bows to Rav, then disappears, leaving the untouched wine glass on the table>
 Rav: <walks over and puts a hand on his arm again, looking up at him with concern>...are you okay?
[09:48] arynwyn: Ren: <closes his eyes briefly> ...what a vile woman... <shakes his head, as if to clear it> I'm fine... <he pulls her close and kisses her cheek> Are you okay with this?
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...as okay as I was with...the last decision we made here. And this isn't...I mean...all you're asking for is for her to keep your secret without the marriage requirement right?  It...it's a shield, not a sword.
[09:51] arynwyn: Ren: <looks into her eyes and touches her cheek> I just want her to leave us alone, that's all. <he sighs> Let's get back before you catch cold..
[09:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <she nods and hugs him> 
[09:53] arynwyn: Ren: <hugs her back and, with an arm around her shoulders, leads the way out of the cabin and out to the carriage, where he helps her inside>
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF to dealing with Xenoliya or is there something going on here you want to play with some more?  s'more? ooo....))
[09:54] arynwyn: (( FF. How much longer do you have? Did you say you were going to bed at 10? ))
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I can stay up a little later, but not much more than an hour or two. ^_^))
[09:55] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okay. So... let's say Ren invited Xeno over for dinner? ))
[09:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo, nice. xD ))
[09:55] arynwyn: (( Hehe. Must be done in private. Start with her entrance? ))
[09:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <drops her cloak in the butler's arms as she enters, looking around the manor with evaluating eyes, already deciding that this will simply *have* to go, and that could use some touching up, etc.  She's wearing yet another tight, black dress, though this is even skimpier than her robes, if such a thing is possible, showing more cleavage and, thanks to a slit up one side, a lot more leg. She purses her blood-red lips in thought as she tries to decide what she wants to replace the chandelier with...>
[09:59] arynwyn: Ren: <comes into the hall, all smiles for once, wearing a long, dark purple robe> Ah, Xenoliya, good to see you. <he steps forward and kisses her once on each cheek> 
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <smiles darkly at him> It's so good of you to invite me over, dearest.  I take it you understand the benefits to the arrangement I...proposed, now?  I promise you I can be a...quite enjoyable wife...<she arches an eyebrow at him and trails a finger along his chest>...if you give me a chance.
[10:03] arynwyn: Ren: <tries to suppress a shiver> Yes, I think our arrangement is quite... suiting. <he motions for her to step into the den, following close behind her> Wine? Or something stronger? (( So tempted to make a char for Xeno... <giggle> ))
[10:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> oh dear...<snickers> I'm not stopping you...))
 Xenoliya: Oh wine will do for now.  We'll start off easy tonight...work our way up...<she looks at him over one shoulder and winks smirkingly> Are your orphans joining us for dinner or have they eaten already?
[10:07] arynwyn: Ren: <clenches his jaw at "orphans"> They are my *children* and no, they are out on a picnic. <he pours them each a glass of wine, handing her one and drinking the other quickly> 
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Rav with the kids then I take it? ^_~))
 Xenoliya: <moves to clink her glass against his and stops when he starts drinking. she shrugs and drinks as well, no small, delicate sips here> Too bad.  I was so looking forward to seeing their faces when you told them they were going to get a new mother. <she smiles at him over her wineglass> ...or have you already told them?
[10:10] arynwyn: (( I assume Rav & Ren told them of *their* engagement? ))
[10:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((depends; how long has it been since they got engaged?))
[10:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((a day or two?))
[10:11] arynwyn: (( Was thinking a week... ))
[10:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah, then probably, yes. ^_^;))
[10:11] arynwyn: (( Keep hitting esc instead of backspace. >.> ))
[10:11] arynwyn: (( Okay. ))
[10:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers>))
[10:12] arynwyn: Ren: <smirks> I'm afraid they already know. <another long drink> I belive dinner is almost ready. Shall we? <he holds out an arm, doing his best to smile>
[10:12] arynwyn: (( Shush you! :-P&nbsp;-))
[10:12] arynwyn: (( *:-P  ))
[10:12] arynwyn: (( Dunno why it keeps doing that. >.>  ))
[10:13] arynwyn: *believe
[10:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Ah, well. <takes his arm, sidling in close to him as they walk towards the dining room> Are they happy to hear their beloved benefactor will soon be wed?
[10:14] arynwyn: Ren: <nods> Oh yes. They are elated. <he pulls out a chair for her and then sits down, pouring himself another glass of wine. servers bring out bread and soup. Ren looks thoughtful> You know, earlier today I was thinking about someone... <smirk>
[10:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Really? Who? <she asks as she blows on a spoonful of soup to cool it down> ((now I want soup...))
[10:15] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Me too. Clam chowder... Mmmm... ))
[10:16] arynwyn: Ren: Do you remember Gethan Blazingsun? <he watches her carefully> (( Meant to be someone she had knocked off. ))
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sets her spoon down to think> Hmm...stocky, balding, little man, if I recall? <shakes her head> A great loss to us all, but with his lack of physical fitness, a heart attack wasn't at all surprising...<picks her spoon up and resumes eating soup>
[10:19] arynwyn: Ren: <smirks> And what about Quellise Goldenday? She died, what, only a year after that? <stirs his soup idly> 
[10:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <pauses a moment, then nods as she takes some bread> Mm.  Tragedy upon tragedy.  She should've been more careful what streets she took going home...still crime prevention in the city has improved since those days, thankfully.  I feel ever *so* much safer...<drinks some wine>
[10:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Gilda Radner - "Adopted kids are such a pain - you have to teach them how to look like you."))
[10:23] arynwyn: Ren: <taps his chin thoughtfully> And what about {name I'm too lazy to come up with} and {again}? Within two weeks of each other... tsk tsk... <butters a piece of bread>
[10:23] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Nice. ))
[10:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sets her spoon down to look at him> Is there a reason you're bringing up such terrible tragedies on an evening when we're supposed to be celebrating...Thandren dearest?
[10:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And the other two names were so good!))
[10:25] arynwyn: Ren: <leans in close> Yes, there's a reason, *dear*... I know you had them all killed. Would you like to see the list? <he pulls out a copy of the names and how they died and tosses it at her> Couldn't get ahead an honest way, could you? 
[10:25] arynwyn: (( Heh, thanks. >.> ))
[10:26] arynwyn: *the honest
[10:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <arches an eyebrow at him and glances over the list before refocusing her suddenly narrow glare on him> How did you get this?
[10:26] arynwyn: Ren: <glowers> You're no the only one with spies and sources. 
[10:27] arynwyn: *not
[10:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: ...<drinks some more of her wine> Apparently not.  And not the only one unafraid to use blackmail to get their way, it seems...
[10:29] arynwyn: Ren: <tries to control his temper> You left me no choice. 
[10:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <pouts seductively at him> The idea of being married to me so repulsive then? <leans in towards him> I'm not so hideous a person, am I? 
[10:30] arynwyn: Ren: You've... murdered seven people, just to get ahead! <he stands, his voice low and deadly> Get out of my house.
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <rises from her seat> Thandren, I've only done what you did: part with some coin in order to obtain a desirable result. <she smirks at him> I'm just not caught up in floundering quandries about it. <sighs deliberately> ...still it's such a shame.  You'd've made such a *good* husband...and I'd've been so helpful to you, to your career...<shakes her head, sad at opportunities missed>
[10:36] arynwyn: Ren: <shakes his head> You know nothing. Life isn't about getting ahead, hurting people, opportunities... It's about love, friends, happiness. You will realize this someday, but it will be too late. The things I did were because I had no other choice. My uncle had put a contract out on me. There was no escape. And now this; you've done this to yourself.
[10:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Oh no, *do* take the credit for this yourself, Thandren.  Masterful, really. <smirks at him and turns to leave> Hate to miss dinner, but I seem to have worn out my welcome...<she waves at him as she walks, one hip at a time, towards the door, then turns back> So, out of curiosity, did you actually tell your...children you were getting engaged?
[10:38] arynwyn: Ren: I am engaged, to Suravi Truedawn. 
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <actually turns around and gapes at him for a moment> Thandren, have you lost your senses completely?  I suppose she's pretty enough, if you like the type, <her tone illustrates that she does not> but she's not high-ranked at all!  She's common and...and a priestess, by all the hells!  What does a warlock do with a priest?!
[10:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat on head...))
[10:43] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles> It is love, Xenoliya, not something you would understand. I have enough standing on my own. I don't need to marry a noble <think: Unlike you...> to be great. And she's going to make an *excellent* mother. Also not something you would understand.
[10:43] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[10:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sighs and rolls her eyes>...I suppose it's just as well.  We would never have understood one another.  Good evening, Thandren.  <and strolls out just as casual as you please, leaving of her own accord, really>
[10:45] arynwyn: (( Kay, when Rav comes home, Ren is passed out. >.> ))
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((in the dining room?))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( Well, he passed out there, but the bulters carried him up to his room. ))
[10:46] arynwyn: *butlers- hate that word
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh I've noticed.  I think the word hates you too...))
 Rav: <is laughing and smiling as she and the children re-enter...until one of the butlers whispers something to her.  She looks alarmed, hands him the picnic basket and asks him to look after the children. She apologizes to them, hikes up her skirt and runs up to Ren's room. She doesn't bother knocking, just lets herself in and runs to the bedside to check for pulse, breath, and fever (in that order)>
[10:51] arynwyn: Ren: <is very pale and clammy, his pulse weak and breathing shallow. there's no fever. he's still in his dress robe but his shoes have been taken off, and a cold wet towel has been put on his forehead>  (( Hmmm... Thinking I need to enter his doc... ))
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <lifts the towel long enough to kiss his forehead, then replaces it gently. She prays over him and casts a small healing spell>
[10:53] arynwyn: Ren: <comes to after a few minutes, though he seems a little delirious and his eyes are unfocused> <there is a soft tapping on the door>
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <looks to the door, then kisses Ren's cheek briefly before going to answer the knock>
[10:55] arynwyn: <a tall, thin, very handsome man stands there. he looks past Rav at Ren on the bed and frowns ever so slightly> Doctor Bloodmourn <is all he says> 
[10:56] arynwyn: (( Bloodmourn isn't one of your char's last names, is it? >.> ))
[10:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <she stands aside and gestures him in> I don't know what happened, I was out with the children... ((Katalya's Mornblade and Ketheniel's Darkmorn, but no, no Bloodmourn...though I almost thought you wrote "Bloodsworn" for some odd reason...))
[10:57] arynwyn: Doc: <walks past her, over to Ren, and looks at his condition, checking the pulse and breathing. he then reaches into his bag and pulls out a very sharp knife>
[10:57] arynwyn: Doc: <glances back at Rav>
[10:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Does he need a transfusion? He...he's had my blood once before...
[10:59] arynwyn: Doc: <gives her an odd look, then nods. he procedes to make a deep cut in his wrist, then puts it to Ren's mouth, the blood filling his mouth and spilling down his chin, but finally Ren begins to swallow>
[11:00] arynwyn: (( Wow, sorry that's such a bad sentence... >.> ))
[11:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it's not that bad <hugs>))
[11:01] arynwyn: (( S'pretty bad... <hugs> ))
[11:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <steps closer, worried, eyes locked on Ren, searching for any obvious sign of improvement> ((just a little run-on-y.))
[11:03] arynwyn: Doc: <paling, he finally pulls his wrist away and bandages the cut sloppily. he turns back to Ren> Ren: <his eyes begin to focus and his breathing evens out and he eventually locks eyes with Rav> ...Suravi?... <he speaks softly, his voice weak>
[11:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles, relieved. She looks to the doctor briefly> I can heal that for you, if you want...
[11:06] arynwyn: Doc: <glances up at her, then nods, before turning back to Ren> Ren: <puts a hand to his head and closes his eyes> Gods... What... what happened?...
[11:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <heals the doctor's wound as she addresses Ren> I don't know. I..I was hoping you could tell me that.  I came back from the picnic and the butler said you'd passed out and they'd brought you up here.
[11:11] arynwyn: Ren: <nods his thanks to the doctor, who stands and turns to Rav> Doc: <he hands her a small card with his name (Brennon Bloodmourn) and how to contact him> I will be back in three days for another transfusion. <he bows and disappears> Ren: <motions for Rav to come over to him, and once the doc is gone, he begins> Xenoliya and I came to an agreement. <he thinks a moment> I... I don't recall having my transfusion a few days ago... I must've had too much wine at dinner; that, plus missing my transfusion... <shakes his head> 
[11:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...<she sits next to him on the bed> I was so worried...<sighs> But so long as you're better now...how did...how did things go with Ms. Evenstar?
[11:13] arynwyn: Ren: As planned. If she breathes a word about me, I will expose her... I told her we were engaged, I hope you don't mind... <he reaches up and brushes her cheek, still weak> And how was the picnic?
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blushes hearing he told Xenoliya about their engagement> Fine.  Heath put a bug down the back of Mina's dress, and the resulting scuffle knocked over Trent's drink, but other than that, it was lovely. You missed a beautiful sunset. <she leans down and kisses his temple> For now though, you should rest.
[11:17] arynwyn: Ren: <chuckles soflty, but the laugh doesn't reach his eyes, which are sad. he nods slowly and sighs> Yes, I should... 
[11:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...are you okay now? Really? <she brushes his cheek with concern>
[11:19] arynwyn: Ren: <takes her hand in his and kisses it> I only wish I were better for you. I wish I hadn't done the things I did. I wish I weren't ill... <he looks away> I wish you didn't have to see me drink --... ... Or worry about me so...
[11:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sighs and squeezes his hand>...and they wonder what the rich have left to wish for.  We all have regrets; you can't do anything about any of those.  And at least one of them is nonsense. <she leans down and kisses his cheek before whispering, since she's so close to his ear anyway> ...I can't imagine anyone better for me than you. <she blushes saying it, and squeezes his hand again>
[11:24] arynwyn: Ren: <kisses her cheek back, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. he kisses her ear and whispers> It lightens my heart to hear you say that. I love you, Suravi... <he kisses her neck softly>
[11:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <shudders pleasantly and stifles a gasp>...and...I you, Thandren.  Rest.  I'm going to say goodnight to the children, let them know you're okay, just tired.  I'll be back as soon as I'm done with that, I promise.
[11:27] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles and nods, reluctantly letting her pull away. he watches her go, then turns over on his side and closes his eyes>
[11:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You want me to bring Rav back before we call this done?))
[11:28] arynwyn: (( Nah. Ren'd be asleep anyway. ))
[11:29] arynwyn: (( I'mma develope a new char for Xeno. I'm thinking an extrodinarily handsome new student? <giggle> ))
[11:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she'll just change back into the robe (even though she has nightclothes of her own) and cuddle up next to him anyway.  Ooooo....new student....<giggles>))
[11:29] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Yeah. ^^ ))
[11:30] arynwyn: (( And he's gunna be naughty... very arrogant and disobedient... <grin> ))
[11:30] arynwyn: (( But he's the son of a noble... so... ))
[11:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> oh this should be great fun then.  I'll leave you to work on that whilst I catch a pre-work nap....and yeah, that sounds just about *purrrfect* for her))
[11:31] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okies. You'll be on, what time? 11 server? ))
[11:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((closer to 11:30 server time; I should be done closing the store by 11:15 and then just have to drive home and log on.))
[11:32] arynwyn: (( Okies. <huggles> Sleep well! Happy dreams! ))
 
[11:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((count on it ^_~ <huggles>))
Session Close (arynwyn): Tue Sep 25 11:32:58 2007


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Tue Oct 02 05:49:44 2007
[05:49] Chaos Angel Sox: <pounce huggle>
[05:50] arynwyn: <huggles>
[05:50] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: I keep hitting Enter and waiting for the box to pop up >_<
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Curse you, World of Warcrack!!!
[05:50] arynwyn: <laugh> 
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: right, anyway, FF to end of meal goodness, yes?
[05:51] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[05:51] arynwyn: (( Zadie color test. This work? ))
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <wipes his mouth with his napkin and drops it on the table, then looks over at Zadeen; his nervousness starts to bubble inside of him> So...you wanted to know what the special occasion was? <clears his throat>
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's very nice ^_^))
[05:52] arynwyn: Zadie: <looks up and licks the last bit of chocolate off her fork. she sets it down and smiles> What is it? Do tell...
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <reaches over to take one of her hands in both of his again; he sort of pets the hand a little, looking more at it than at her face> I...Zadie, I've never been so happy in my entire life, and I-I know that isn't saying much with the kind of life I've had.  I wake up every day grateful to whatever gods still exist that you're with me, and...and I try to think about what my life would be like without you, except I can't because the thought scares me too much.  I...I don't ever want to be without you.
[05:57] arynwyn: Zadie: <blushes and smiles more, squeezing his hand gently> I don't ever want to be without you either, Keth... These past months have been... amazing, to say the least. I would never be where I am if it weren't for you. <she stops to let him continue>
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <looks around at the scattered other diners, who are, of course, busy with their own conversations. He blushes pink as he lets go of her hand, pushes his chair back, rises, walks over to her chair and drops to one knee.> I love you, Zadeen, and I...I want you to be my wife...if you'll have me. <remembers something and reaches into a pocket of his robes to pull out a small box. When opened and held out to her, it displays a small diamond ring, not fancy or large, but unassuming and sparkly. His blush gets redder>
[06:02] arynwyn: Zadie: <gasps softly, tears springing to her eyes. she throws her arms around him tightly and kisses him hard> Oh Keth! Of course! Of course! <she's beaming and bright red as she takes the ring and slips it on her finger>
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <tries to ignore all the diners now looking at them and smiling; he concentrates on hugging and kissing her.  The huge feeling of relief helps, though his knees feel sort of weak. He clears his throat and gets up, thinking Oh good, I did it right.> Whatever you want to do for the wedding is fine with me, love. I just want your happiness. <he smiles at her, feeling sort of loopy and grinning>
[06:06] arynwyn: Zadie: <continues to beam for a moment, then her face falls> Oh gods... <she stands and makes a run for the bathroom. she's gone about ten minutes and when she comes back she's smiling weakly and is rather pale>
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <frowns and looks nervous when she runs off; he shifts to downright worried when she returns> Zadie, are you okay? <he goes over to her and hugs her carefully, stroking her hair>
[06:09] arynwyn: Zadie: <leans against him heavily, tremblings slightly> I'm... fine... I've been sick the past few days. I may need to see a priest. But... maybe we should go... <she glances around at all the people and fights another surge of vomit>
[06:10] arynwyn: *trembling
[06:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <nods, leaves more than enough coin on the table and hastily escorts her from the restaurant; he kisses her temple as they reach the cool evening air again> I'll take you home and then come back out and find a priest for you, okay? That way you can lay down and rest...
[06:13] arynwyn: Zadie: <smiles weakly> Thank you. I think that's probably a good idea. <she wraps an arm around his middle and leans against him as they walk home, having to stop once in an alley to throw up again>
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <holds her hair for her and sighs> I'm sorry...I should've noticed. I was...so wrapped up in planning this, I guess I didn't pay as much attention to you as I should have... 
 
 (('cause Keth has to find a way to blame himself...though it sort of is his fault...<giggle>))
[06:15] arynwyn: Zadie: <cough> NO, Keth... <gag> It's not your fault... <cough> It hasn't... been this bad... <gasp> until now... <she wipes her mouth and takes a shakey breath> Don't blame yourself, please. The night was lovely. <smile>
[06:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <wraps her gently in his arms for a moment or two> C'mon, I want you laying down and resting...you throw up again, and I'm just going to carry you straight to the Temple.
[06:18] arynwyn: Zadie: <chuckles lightly and finishes the trip home without throwing up again, slumping down on the sofa without changing>
[06:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <runs to get a cloth and douses it with cool water; he wrings it out, folds it up and then comes back to lay it on her forehead> Stay right here, and no moving.  Midnight!  Make sure she doesn't move!  I'll be right back! <and dashes out the door into the night, a man on a mission>
[06:20] arynwyn: Zadie: <closes her eyes and wipes the cloth over her face, taking a few deep breaths>
[06:22] Chaos Angel Sox: [A few minutes later...]
 Keth: <comes back practically dragging an exasperated priestess with him> She's sick! Please help her!
 Enora: You've only said that 'bout a hundred times, boy.  Settle down, and I'll see to her, 'kay?
 
 (('cause I won't let her disappear xD  I take it she gets to break the news to them? ^_^))
[06:23] arynwyn: (( <LOL> I was hoping it'd be her!! ))
[06:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :3 ))
[06:23] arynwyn: Zadie: <struggles to sit up, looking a pale shade of green. she asks weakly> Keth...?
[06:24] arynwyn: (( ooh, plot twist: Cy gets preggers >.> ))
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <kneels next to her and takes her hand again> I'm right here, Zadie.  I promise.
 Enora: <whistles low> She is in a state. <she gently pushes Zadie's shoulders down> Uh uh, stay layin' down, and let's see what we can do to make you feel better, hm?  <looks to Keth> She eat somethin' disagree with her?
 Keth: Well, she did eat quite a lot at dinner tonight, but she said she'd been feeling sick for a few days now...
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooooo...I like.))
[06:27] arynwyn: Zadie: <lays back against the pillow, taking a deep breath> About a week, now, I think... <she squeezes Keth's hand, trembling> 
[06:27] arynwyn: (( Question: Is there or is there not a loophole to get her out of the Temple? ))
[06:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((A loophole? Not so much.  Yet anyway.  She just has to have a strong enough reason to tell the Temple and her parents to go fuck themselves sideways.  I can always make a loophole or a way out of it somehow...))
[06:28] arynwyn: (( Okies. ))
[06:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <arches an eyebrow but goes ahead and tries throwing a Cure Disease spell> Any better there?
[06:30] arynwyn: Zadie: <shakes her head> No, I'm afraid not. <thinks: I tried that one myself. I am a Paladin, after all...>
[06:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <frowns> you been throwing up this last week too, or just feeling nauseous?
[06:32] arynwyn: Zadie: Throwing up most days, but not all. Nauseous every day though. 
[06:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: So, just to get it all straight: you been nauseous every day, throwin' up most days, but you're not sick.  <looks at Keth> Been havin' fun with her, have you? <grin nudge>
 Keth: <deep blush> I really don't see how that's relevant, let alone any of your business!!
 Enora: 'm just sayin', sounds to me like you should be a daddy some months from now.
 Keth: o_O <that takes all the anger and embarassment right out of him> I should be a...<blink blink>
 Enora: <looks back at Zadeen> Unless it's some sort of curse, and they don' usually do this sorta thing to you.
[06:36] arynwyn: Zadie: ...wait, what? <blink> 
[06:37] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11092003.shtml)(Link: http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11092003.shtml)http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11092003.shtml this would totally be Xenoliya right after her period....))
[06:38] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[06:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: Pregnant. With child.  There are other ways I can say it, but they aren't as nice.
 Keth: <falls off his knees to sit on the floor and sort of stare off into the distance>... ... ...I...we...
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the first line of the next comic is "I hear beeping. There is to be no beeping on sex night, only screams and begging."  Also very Xen... ^_^))
[06:39] arynwyn: Zadie: <slowly starts to smile> We're going to have a baby? We're going to have a baby! Keth! <she rolls off the couch to hug him tightly, beaming> You're going to be a father! And me!... a mother!... <stares off a moment, slightly shocked>
[06:39] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <hugs her back, still very shocked>
 Enora: <chuckles> Men need a while to get used to the idea, girl.  Just make sure you water him 3 times a day and turn him towards the sunlight.  As for you: diet, exercise - but not too much!  Regular visits to a priest or doctor to make sure everything's goin' okay.  And start pickin' out names and such.
[06:43] arynwyn: Zadie: <struggles to her feet to shake Enora's hand, still beaming> Thank you! Thank you for coming out on such short notice. <she turns back to Keth, sinking back to her knees and pulling him close, tears in her eyes>
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <smiles> Congratulations. <she bows and heads out>
 Keth: ... ... ...<holds her in his arms sort of mechanically; he occasionally blinks>
[06:46] arynwyn: Zadie: <a few moments after Enora leaves, she jumps to her feet, running to the bathroom to retch again. she tells herself that being sick and being in pain is going to be well worth it in the end>
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <blinks out of his shock to go help Zadie, holding her hair and rubbing her back as he zones out>
[06:48] arynwyn: Zadie: <finally stops throwing up, her face tear-streaked (and not in a good way). she steps away from Keth and goes into the bedroom, slipping out of her dress and collasping on the bed>
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <follows her and sits next to her on the bed> Zadie...<he smooths her hair back>...do you want another cool washcloth?
[06:50] arynwyn: Zadie: I'm... alright. <she looks up at him> Keth? Are you okay with this? I'm worried about you. You're so quiet. And... not happy. <she shivers and pulls a blanket up over her>
[06:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: I...I...it isn't that I'm not happy.  I just...wasn't expecting this, and I...I keep thinking "What if I break it?"
[06:52] arynwyn: Zadie: <looks confused> Break it? The baby? How would you do that?<she takes his hand and kisses it>
[06:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: I don't know! I don't know *anything* about babies, about...how to be a father...<he goes back into shock and lays down next to her, staring up at the ceiling>...just need to lie down for a minute or so here...
[06:54] arynwyn: Zadie: <nods, looking at him worriedly> Alright... <she shrinks away from him, fighting tears>
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: *still staring up at the ceiling*  I...I just recently got to the point where the idea of marrying you didn't seem like something I was completely, totally unprepared for.  I...I'm afraid.
[06:57] arynwyn: Zadie: <think: *You're* afraid?! I'm the one with something growing inside of me...> ...me too... <she trembles despite the blanket, tears running down her cheeks>
[06:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <looks over at her, then rolls over and pulls her into his arms> I'm sorry. Oh, Zadie, I didn't mean to make you cry...<pets her hair again>
[07:00] arynwyn: Zadie: <turns into him, crying on his shoulder, sobbing quietly> I just... I'm scared too!... I've been feeling so terrible, and I have nine more months to go!... And then... and then... birth is so painful... and... then there's a baby... And you don't act like you want to have a baby... I didn't mean for this to happen... 
[07:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: Neither of us meant for this to happen, but...well, it did. And it isn't that I don't want a baby, I'm still just...adjusting to it.  I know it has to be scarier for you than it is for me.  I'm sorry.  I'm sure that, even if I'm a lousy father, you'll be more than terrific enough a mother to make up for it. <kisses her cheek, her forehead, her temple as he strokes her hair>
[07:05] arynwyn: Zadie: <clings to him as her tears subside, hiccuping softly> You won't be a lousy father. I know you won't. You haven't been a lousy boyfriend, friend, anything. <she takes a calming breath> And I love you. We can do this, as long as we do it together, right?
[07:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <nods> Of course we'll do it together. Didn't I just tell you I can't live without you? <kisses her gently> I meant it. I love you so much, Zadie.  
 
 ((aww she even has crying hiccups! Ohhh I hate those...))
[07:07] arynwyn: Zadie: <smiles lightly and kisses him back> Good... (( Hehe. I *so* need sleep... >.< ))
[07:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well then....?))
[07:09] arynwyn: (( going to bed I think. <huggles> ))
[07:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugs> sleep well and happy dreamings ^_^))
[07:09] arynwyn: (( Thanks. You too when you get there. ))
[07:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh thank you))
[07:09] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Tue Oct 02 07:09:37 2007.
Session Close (arynwyn): Tue Oct 02 07:09:40 2007


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Fri Oct 05 15:06:34 2007
[15:06] arynwyn: Did I miss you?
[15:06] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[15:06] Chaos Angel Sox: *pounce-hugs*
[15:06] arynwyn: WOO! <hugs>
[15:06] arynwyn: Read LJ. I just posted something. 
[15:06] Chaos Angel Sox: I don't know how much longer my post-lab buzz'll last, but I am here for now :)
[15:06] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY!
[15:07] arynwyn: Hehe, okies.
[15:07] arynwyn: Yeah, I actually wrote. o_o
[15:07] Chaos Angel Sox: I replied to your reply to my drabble.
[15:07] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY for writing!!!
[15:07] arynwyn: So I see. Just about to read it.
[15:07] arynwyn: Hehe, nice. And no. I've never read that.
[15:09] Chaos Angel Sox: It's convoluted and paranoid and dark but I really like it. The quote I keep coming back to is from the writer/editor guy I mentioned, who was writing (on a file found in his computer) about the difference between a person's memory and a computer's:  "Because real memory, at the cost of much effort, learns to remember but not to forget."
[15:09] arynwyn: ooooh. wow.
[15:09] arynwyn: Sounds like something I'd like. I'll look it up.
[15:10] Chaos Angel Sox: heh - you know, Cyla never has gotten a last name.  When I christened her, I started trying to think of surnames...and then got distracted.
[15:10] arynwyn: <laugh>
[15:11] Chaos Angel Sox: The book is about these three editors at a publishing house who keep getting all these crackpot authors who are writing about the Templars, the Illuminati, the occult, etc.  They start playing a Game, trying to tie all the crackpot theories into one big overwhelming theory of paranoia and world conquest....only they start getting eerie hints that maybe what they think is just an intellectual bit of fun might be true....it's not scary, and it's a little confusing sometimes, with the temporal jumps, but it's soooo good.
[15:11] arynwyn: Wow, sweet! "D
[15:11] arynwyn: *:-D
[15:12] arynwyn: Do you remember Brennan's last name? >.<
[15:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Bloodmourn
[15:13] arynwyn: Thank you! 
[15:13] Chaos Angel Sox: heh. only 'cause it's the same letter :3 BB!  Paging Dr. BB! <giggle>
[15:14] arynwyn: <laugh> I knew it had blood in it, just couldn't remember the other part. >.<
[15:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Replied!! 
[15:15] Chaos Angel Sox: yay for writing!! :3
[15:16] arynwyn: ^^
[15:16] arynwyn: Argh. Stupid tenses always screw me up.
[15:16] Chaos Angel Sox: One mistake.  I wouldn't have done present tense writing that well.
[15:16] arynwyn: I didn't even realize I wrote it in present. I'm so used to it with RPing I guess.
[15:17] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod>
[15:17] arynwyn: Mkay, so. Do you want to say that really happened or no?
[15:18] Chaos Angel Sox: and you forgot Thandren Amir'Tor in your Chara Chaos :3
[15:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod> I'm cool with that going down.
[15:18] arynwyn: Oh, wrote him down, just forgot to post him I guess. ^^;;
[15:18] Chaos Angel Sox: I think he's the only one.
[15:18] arynwyn: Mkay.
[15:18] arynwyn: Oh, and I came up with a new twist.. <giggle>
[15:18] arynwyn: For Lore/Ari
[15:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh? Share! :D :D 
[15:18] arynwyn: <laugh>
[15:19] arynwyn: OKay, so... Ari goes up to Lore and says "If we can make your friends believe we're dating, then we for sure can make our parents believe we're engaged. Practice" 
[15:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo.  He was going to try to find a way out of playing pretend...but if she wants to do that...<grins> I'll make him go for it.  He'll do the "are you sure?" bit at first, after the beating he just got, but he'll sign on. :)
[15:21] arynwyn: <laugh> Mkay. She's doing the whole push-your-feelings-aside-Ari thing. >.<
[15:21] Chaos Angel Sox: awww
[15:21] arynwyn: And practicing doesn't mean sex! 
[15:21] arynwyn: Oh, and what's Xen's fav flower? 
[15:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Your problem, Lore, is that you kiss too well.
 Lore: That's a PROBLEM?
 Kat: Your kisses can create...expectations in certain women.
 Lore: Good thing I'm usually sleeping with whores and loose women then.
[15:22] arynwyn: <snicker>
[15:23] arynwyn: <3 Kat's color!
[15:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmm...well, who doesn't like roses?  Also...oo! White oleander. :)  They're pretty and poisonous.
[15:23] Chaos Angel Sox: thought you might ^_^;
[15:23] arynwyn: Damien can't give her poisonous flowers. >.<
[15:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Only if you eat them...
[15:23] arynwyn: Oh, okay.
[15:23] arynwyn: =P
[15:24] Chaos Angel Sox: I think. Anyways....
[15:24] arynwyn: Mkay, then sometime I have a quick RP with them. Hehe.
[15:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo
[15:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! What did you think of Ash's romantic history?  I made that up on the fly for the drabble.
[15:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: I hate you now, by the way.
 Me: (angel)
[15:25] arynwyn: Sad! Hal's all... <HUGS and KISSES and LOVE> cause she has a similar one. 
[15:25] Chaos Angel Sox: No wonder they get on so well then ^_^
[15:25] arynwyn: <laugh>
[15:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <carries Hal off back to bed>
[15:26] arynwyn: Hal: <giggles> oooo. 
[15:27] Chaos Angel Sox: I have done far worse to characters...<calls after Ash> You could've been D'Arc!!  You don't want his romantic history!!
 D'Arc: No one wants my history.  Romantic or otherwise.
 Me: Stop talking. It's scary when you talk.  Go away.  Shoo.
[15:27] Chaos Angel Sox: cat on head. :P
[15:27] arynwyn: Who the hell is that?!
[15:27] Chaos Angel Sox: story character.  I've been making up stories my whole life, and typing them since junior high.
[15:27] arynwyn: Nice...
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: <lets cat eat hair>
[15:28] arynwyn: O.o
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: that's my scalp!
[15:28] arynwyn: ouch. >.<
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: just washed my hair, and now it's full of catspit.
[15:28] arynwyn: gross <laugh>
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: he likes suave I guess, I dunno.
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ow
[15:29] arynwyn: >.<
[15:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ....or he's just a dumb cat.  anyways....
[15:29] arynwyn: <giggle>
[15:29] Chaos Angel Sox: I got four hours until I have to leave.  I'm still feeling pretty alert, though the pepsi might've helped.
[15:30] arynwyn: wooo! wanna do something?
[15:30] Chaos Angel Sox: shore. :) here, in WoW or what? I likely won't feel like leveling, but if you wanna run someone around while we RP or whatever, that's coo.
[15:30] Chaos Angel Sox: thank L-sama, the cat has left my head
[15:31] arynwyn: I'm up for just staying on here. I like the little sound I get when you send something. That way if I get distracted by tv, I don't miss something. ^^;;
[15:31] Chaos Angel Sox: "You have head pigeons. Report to the nurse."
[15:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>
[15:31] arynwyn: <--lazy ass
[15:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <-- ditto
[15:32] arynwyn: <giggle> Must be why we get along so well. =P
[15:32] Chaos Angel Sox: <snicker> 'tis true!  that and we like to write.  and have uteruses (uterii?...no should be uteruses).
[15:32] Chaos Angel Sox: <hershey's kisses>
[15:32] arynwyn: <laughs and shares oreo dessert pizza>
[15:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooooooo
[15:33] arynwyn: ^^
[15:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mmmm Oreo
[15:33] arynwyn: <nodnod> Double mmmm.
[15:33] Chaos Angel Sox: So who to futz with? You wanna do your Damien/Xen thing? :)
[15:34] arynwyn: Heh, sure. It's gunna be really short. I'm just trying to come up with ways to move along the "love" thing. <giggle>
[15:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> that's cool.
[15:35] Chaos Angel Sox: I ain't askin' for epic.
[15:37] arynwyn: D: <slips out of bed before dawn, careful not to wake Xen, dressing and slipping out of the room. he jogs downstairs to Xen's study to supervise the influx of a gazillion white oleanders in pretty arrangements around her office. when this is done, he slips back upstairs and tugs off his clothes, slipping back into bed> (( You can have her wake up now if you want, or just FF to when she goes into her study))
[15:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((preference between her waking now and or going to the study?))
[15:38] arynwyn: (( Doesn't matter. D's just gunna say he went to the bathroom or something if she wakes now ))
[15:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF then! <pushes the button>))
 Xen: <wakes and goes through her morning routine, which is largely going from sleep-rumpled to artfully sleep-rumpled; getting to pulled together and elegant is for the afternoon. She pulls on her robe, ties it in a becomingly dishelveled manner, and pads out of the bedroom to her study.> 
 ((pausing there in case he wants to follow for the surprise))
[15:42] arynwyn: D: <does, indeed, follow, tossing on a robe as well and hovering just behind her in the doorway>
[15:44] arynwyn: (( <eats a Dorito in the shape of a t-shirt and giggles> ))
[15:45] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <opens the door and actually gasps in delighted surprise. Realizing Damien's behind her, she clears her throat> ...did you do this, dearest? <looks at him over her shoulder, trying to smirk or grin or otherwise show pleasure while still maintaining her sense of superiority; it comes out as more of a regular happy smile, unfortunately>
[15:46] arynwyn: D: <grins and nods> It's hard to buy for the woman who has everything, but I do my best. <he leans in and kisses her neck from behind>
[15:48] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <leans back against him, gazing around her office> They're lovely.  Deadly, but lovely.  <reaches back and pulls his arms around her>
[15:49] arynwyn: D: <smirks and holds her to him, saying softly with a light chuckle> Just like you, my dear. <he kisses her neck again, smiling> I'm glad you like them.
[15:51] Chaos Angel Sox: X: I love them, dearest. <she turns in his embrace and loops her arms around his neck> So now though I feel compelled to seek out ulterior motives...<arches an eyebrow, smile only just now starting to turn into a smirk>
[15:52] arynwyn: D: <laughs and shakes his head> No ulterior motives. Just a sweet surprised for the woman who has made me happier than anyone else ever could. <he leans in and kisses her softly> There are chocolates too, on your desk. Silvermoon's finest. And no tricks. <he winks>
[15:52] arynwyn: *surprise
[15:54] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Flowers, chocolates...I still feel like the next surprise is "promises you don't intend to keep".  Are you sure you're not up to something, Damien?  Or is there something you've done you need to apologize for? <her eyes narrow but her voice isn't accusing, just...curious>
[15:55] arynwyn: D: <tsks> A man can't even spoil his wife without questions and accusations? I've done nothing, nor am I "up to something", Xenoliya. <he shakes his head, obviously a little offended>
[15:56] Chaos Angel Sox: X: You did this for no reason other than to please me? <she sounds like this is an alien concept to her> Really? <smiles up at him in obvious happiness>
[15:57] arynwyn: D: <leans down and kisses her again> Yes, really. To show I <blinks as he almost says "love"> care about you more than anyone else in the world. I don't know what I'd do without you. <smiles down at her, still holding her tightly>
[15:59] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <pounce-kisses him, almost knocking him back against the wall, then gives him a full-body snuggle of glee> Thank you.  It's wonderful.
[15:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she's almost girlish. ^_^))
[16:01] arynwyn: D: <laughs and kisses her back deeply> I'm glad they've made you happy. If I had known you would have liked them this much, I would have done it ages ago. I expected more of a cool thank-you, honestly. But I am delighted at your reaction. <he nuzzles her hair, his hand stroking her back>
[16:02] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Oh the flowers are lovely too, yes. <she keeps her arms wrapped around him tightly>
[16:03] arynwyn: D: <looks down at her, confused> ...are lovely, too? What do you mean?
[16:05] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <still happily snuggled against him> You did this for no reason other than to make me happy, no ulterior motives, no need for apologies?  That...is amazing.
 
 (("If you require it, any gentleman here can give you use of a sword." "Use of a s-what?"))
[16:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I love "Firefly"))
[16:05] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[16:06] Chaos Angel Sox: (("The captain's a good fighter, he...must know how to handle a sword?"  "I think he knows which end to hold."))
[16:07] arynwyn: D: <kisses her hair> I see. <continues to hold her for a moment, silent and thinking> I suppose I have been a rather uncaring and callous husband. Please forgive me. I will do better to make you feel <blinks again as he almost says "loved"> appreciated and cared for.
[16:07] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[16:08] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <looks up at him> Damien dearest, you've been everything I ever wanted in a husband.  With this...you have surpassed my expectations. <kisses him>
[16:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat on head....))
[16:09] arynwyn: D: <kisses her back gently, one hand moving to cup her face, and when he pulls away he gazes into her eyes> And I will continue to surpass them, or die trying. 
[16:09] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[16:10] Chaos Angel Sox: 
 ((Dippy cat...))
 X: <chuckles darkly> Promise? <grin>
[16:11] arynwyn: D: <nuzzles her hair again> I swear on everything I hold dearest to me. Which is you.
[16:11] arynwyn: (( Italics are thoughts, yes? ))
[16:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod> it's how I use them anyway ^_^))
[16:12] arynwyn: (( kk, just making sure. ^^;; ))
[16:12] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Loveliest thing anyone ever said to me. <exhales in contentment>
[16:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww, I want to hug Mal in this scene.  <cough clear throat> anyways...))
[16:14] arynwyn: D: <smiles into her hair> What do you say we spend the morning together, in bed? Not having sex necessarily. But just... spend time together. Would you like that? 
[16:14] arynwyn: (( Dunno who that is. ))
[16:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I should so send you this for Xmas. ^_^))
[16:14] arynwyn: (( <laugh> You don't have to. ))
[16:15] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <looks up at him curiously> "not having sex"?  ...but...I'm still...you still...<keeps changing how she wants to phrase this, cursing herself for having started the sentence in the first place instead of just complacently agreeing>
[16:16] arynwyn: D: <looks down at her> You're still what? I still what? I've never seen you at loss for words before. <looks at her with concern> What is it?
[16:18] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <mental string of curses, then sighs and gives into her insecurities> ...I'm still desirable, though, right?  You're not just suggesting this because...you don't want me anymore?  I don't have a problem with just spending time with you, of course, but...
[16:20] arynwyn: D: Oh, Xenoliya.... Of course I still desire you! Didn't we just fool around last night? I've not looked at another woman since I set my heart <clears his throat> ...my mind... on you. You are the sexiest woman alive, I swear to you. I didn't say we *couldn't* have sex. <grin> I just thought it would be nice to spend some time together. <he kisses her hard to try and validate everything he's said>
[16:21] arynwyn: (( Hm. validate isn't the right word there. But you get what I mean. >.< ))
[16:21] arynwyn: (( Maybe prove ))
[16:21] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <clings to him as she returns the kiss> Whatever you want to do would be wonderful, dearest.  ((cat on head again...and yeah, I'm good. I got what you were going for. ^_^))
[16:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((dippy catbeast.))
[16:23] arynwyn: D: <pulls away and slips his arms around her as he bends, sweeping her up off her feet and carrying her back into their room. he sets her on the bed gently and steps back out into the hall to tell a servant they will be taking breakfast in their room. he comes back in and strips off his robe and climbs into the bed with her>
[16:23] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[16:24] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <smiles and idly strokes his chest> I'm ever so glad I made you do all that weight training...
[16:25] arynwyn: D: <laughs and kisses her neck> Still do it, every day. So I remain attractive to you. 
[16:26] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <chuckles> That wasn't why I had you do it....but I'm not complaining.  And you've always been attractive, dearest, even before I got my hands on you. 
[16:27] arynwyn: D: <smiles and continues to kiss her neck and ear> Like being swept off your feet, do you? <pulls away enough to wink at her>
[16:27] Chaos Angel Sox: (( just for you: (Link: http://gilmore-girls.us/indexx.php?lj)(Link: http://gilmore-girls.us/indexx.php?lj)http://gilmore-girls.us/indexx.php?lj ))
[16:27] arynwyn: (( oooooo! Thanks!! ))
[16:28] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Mmm, yes.....but only when you do it. <pulls him in for a searing kiss>
[16:29] arynwyn: D: <kisses her back hard, his body pressing up against hers> Gods, you are sexy... No one else could drive me mad with desire like you do... <runs his hands down her body>
[16:32] arynwyn: (( stole some pics for LJ ))
[16:33] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <sighs happily again> Oh, Damien, you know just what to say to a woman...<stifles a giggle and slides her hands over his back, trying to pull him in even closer> Because, I admit, driving you mad with desire did become a goal of mine at one point...
[16:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :D You can have...um...I forget what the limit is now, but it's over 100))
[16:34] arynwyn: D: <raises an eyebrown, grinning> Is that so? Was that before or after we were married? <kisses her neck again, working his way south, down to her chest>
[16:34] arynwyn: (( Nice! ))
[16:34] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=sockschan)(Link: http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=sockschan)http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=sockschan ))
[16:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((mostly anime and webcomics, but...))
[16:35] arynwyn: (( ooo, these are cool! ))
[16:36] arynwyn: (( Can you believe I *still* haven't seen Fantasia 2000?! >.< ))
[16:36] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Before...long before...though I can't remember when exactly it started...
[16:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww! :(  I got to see it in IMAX.  So nice! :3 ))
[16:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<sigh> guess where the cat is again....yeesh.))
[16:38] arynwyn: D: <groans as there's a tap at the door> Breakfast... <he slips out of bed and pulls his robe on before opening the door. two servants bring in breakfast (eggs, ham, toast, fruit, juice, coffee, tea- the works) and he shoos them out quickly before turning to Xen> Hungry now or want to wait? <as he peers at the plates>
[16:38] arynwyn: (( <laugh> And in IMAX?! YOU SUCK! =P ))
[16:39] arynwyn: (( Keywords: writing goddess
 My muse in times past. Nowadays she carries a huge fsckin' handgun and intimidates her charges into writing. <LOL> ))
[16:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hee. Called in sick to work to do it too, since we had to go to the big city ^_^))
 X: <ponders> Well, I am hungry...but not just for food...<eyeing his body and licking her lips>...but if we wait, it'll get cold.  <frowns> Decisions decisions...
[16:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers> Well it's true!  She drags me out of bed to write sometimes!! o_O))
[16:40] arynwyn: D: <smirks and waits for her to decide, pulling off his robe again> (( <laugh> ))
[16:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the Be Ware of Uncoming Care one was a road sign - it's supposed to be "oncoming car" ^_^;))
[16:40] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Engrish!! ))
[16:40] arynwyn: (( Yep! ))
[16:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh should've known you'd know it.))
[16:40] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[16:41] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Eat first, get our strength up. <she grins>
[16:42] arynwyn: D: <grins and bows> As you wish, my Lady. <he picks up a tray and carries it over to her before getting his own and digging in hungrily>
[16:43] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <eats at an only slightly slower pace> I can't thank you enough for the oleander, Damien. <she says between bites>
[16:43] arynwyn: D: <smiles over at her> As I said, I'm so glad you liked them. I threw around about a hundred ideas before settling on the oleander. I thought flowers might be to... cheesy? 
[16:45] Chaos Angel Sox: X: No, they're wonderful.  Perfect.  Really.  <munch chew drink - all elegantly of course>
 ((And now I'm hungry >.> but I can't eat too much 'cause Lisa's grilling steak tonight...))
[16:45] arynwyn: (( <LOL> The customers_suck FUCK thing is GREAT. ))
[16:45] arynwyn: (( ooo, steak... ))
[16:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh> I wish I'd bookmarked all my C.A.P.S. entries, 'cause going through the c_s archives is a pain in the ASS.))
[16:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Although....most of the CAPS entries should be on my LJ too....lemme see if I can find that one
[16:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[16:47] arynwyn: D: <finishes the main entree and leans back, muching a peach> I'll do these things more often, I promise. I got so tied up in myself and getting to be Chief Warlock that I ignored everything else, including you. I'm sorry.
[16:48] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Oh darling, you'll be Chief Warlock some day.  I'll make sure of it. <smiles>  And I didn't feel ignored.  Bored, perhaps...but not ignored.
[16:49] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://sockschan.livejournal.com/363355.html)(Link: http://sockschan.livejournal.com/363355.html)http://sockschan.livejournal.com/363355.html ))
[16:49] arynwyn: D: Well, we'll have to fix that. What would you like to do? <finishes off the peach>
[16:49] arynwyn: (( I love that grammar one! <ponders stealing it> ))
[16:51] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <sips her tea> Hmmm...besides picking up where we left off when breakfast arrived? <grins at him and thinks> I like plays.  And shopping, but men never like shopping.  <sip>  Concerts where the vocalists are any good are nice...
 ((go ahead and steal it - I did ^_^))
[16:51] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Yay! ))
[16:52] arynwyn: D: <tosses the pit on his plate and wipes his hands on a napkin> Plays, shopping, concerts. Anything you want. It will take me a day or two to find a play or concert, unless you know of anything off the top of your head, but we could go shopping today, if you wish. <sips some juice and contemplates a banana>
[16:55] Chaos Angel Sox: X: <sets the tray aside on the floor, waits for Damien to set the glass down and pounces him> First things first. <hard kiss as her hand slides at no slow speed down into his (pants? underwear? well you know where it's going anyway...)>
[16:56] arynwyn: (( underwear, I think. ))
[16:56] arynwyn: D: <chuckles and pulls her to him, immediately aroused> I agree... <begins to push clothing aside to kiss her skin, eventually tugging all of what she's wearing off and tossing it to the floor> 
[16:58] Chaos Angel Sox: X: Thought you might...<pushing his underwear off and wrapping one leg around his as she pulls him closer>
[16:59] arynwyn: (( Do you want to RP this or FF? ))
[17:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I was going to say RP and then Joe woke up :P worst...timing...ever...))
[17:00] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[17:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he showed up in the middle of my typing the bit about her hand going down his undies >.>))
[17:00] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[17:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hides AIM box as bf stumbles blearily into room> ^_^ hello!))
[17:01] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[17:01] Chaos Angel Sox: I liked this though!  That was so cute of him!!!
[17:01] arynwyn: (( But it's not like we're actually doing anything wrong. >.< ))
[17:01] arynwyn: Haha, thanks. Stolen from somewhere, though I can't remember where...
[17:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((no, but...I get embarassed. ^_^;; ))
[17:02] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> I understand. I don't think I'd want Tim to see either. ))
[17:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I can't write that stuff when people might see me....well, besides you, now. >.>))
[17:03] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! Oh! Want to see the most violent Engrish ever?
[17:04] arynwyn: (( So, someone else/FF or are you going for sleep? ))
[17:04] arynwyn: <LOL> Sure.
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://sockschan.livejournal.com/392123.html)http://sockschan.livejournal.com/392123.html
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: I dunno.  part of me says "sleep now or regret it!" and the rest of me says "am I sleepy enough?"
[17:05] arynwyn: I know the feeling. I go through that every night. ~_~
[17:06] arynwyn: Weird poem. O_o
[17:06] Chaos Angel Sox: It's the opening theme song to an anime :)
[17:06] arynwyn: <laugh> Wow.
[17:08] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> So who to muck with next? Hmmmmmm.....
[17:08] arynwyn: No sleepings then?
[17:08] Chaos Angel Sox: I'd feel bad if I went to nap now.  One of my friends I haven't talked to in a while just got on.
[17:08] arynwyn: ah.
[17:09] arynwyn: Well... We could arrange this deal between Ari and Lore?
[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! sure :)
[17:10] arynwyn: Mkay. 
[17:10] arynwyn: Ari: <wakes up early the next morning and throws on some mismatches clothes, jogging downstairs to start breakfast>
[17:10] arynwyn: (( Er... Lore just went to bed. Maybe not a good time to start? ))
[17:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She could catch him on his way to his room.  You think he's sleeping with all that coffee in him? ^_^))
[17:11] arynwyn: (( Hm, true. Mkay, have him on the stairs then? Tight squeeze? <giggle> ))
[17:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure!)) Lore: <headed upstairs, still wearing yesterday's clothes and his lab apron>
[17:12] arynwyn: Ari: <stops halfway down> Oh, hey. <looks him over> Uhm, did you sleep? You don't look so good...
[17:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <puts on a smile> I was in my lab.  Genius knows not night or day. 
[17:14] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> I was busy last night too. Do you think <glances behind her> we could have a private word? 
[17:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Hm? Oh, sure...um...Talya's in the kitchen...my room or...<pauses to reconsider> we could go to the la.er...shop.  Yes, how about the shop?  <trying not to put her in an uncomfortable place, lest Talya put him back in one>
[17:16] arynwyn: Ari: Uhm, sure, if no one will overhear us there. <she goes down a few more steps, ready to follow>
[17:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <puts a finger to his lips and tiptoes down the stairs.  Kat's looking out the window, lost in thought.  He gestures to Ari and sneaks quietly behind Kat, through the common room, into the shop>
[17:18] arynwyn: Ari: <follows silently, having had a lot of experience at sneaking around>
[17:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shuts the door between the shop and the commons quietly and walks away from it carefully, pointing out floorboards that creak. When he's far enough away, he asks in a tone low enough to not quite be a whisper> If you want your turn at punching me, we might go outside so I don't have to clean up anymore blood...
[17:21] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles> I don't want to punch you. I told you, I forgive you for what happened. I want to propose something. If you feel like making another deal with me?
[17:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Another deal? <looks curious> I'm...surprised.  But listening.
[17:25] arynwyn: Ari: Alright. I did a lot of thinking last night and I realized that, if we're going to do this, I need the acting practice. My parents are going to *insist* upon meeting you, I'm afraid. <she hops up on a counter to sit> What if we pretended to be dating, to try and fool your friends? Feel free to say no. There would be no sex, I'm afraid. But the small things you spoke of the other night: the adoring smile, the kiss on the cheek, those kinds of things are what we'd be practicing. <she watches for his reaction>
[17:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((running through list of things I can eat to stave off hunger until I get to Lisa's...my brain suggests "Rum!" >.> Umm...not a food.  "Rum anyway?" NO!  "oh okay."  yeesh))
[17:25] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[17:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ....you want to trick my friends....my more violent than I had realized friends...into thinking we're dating as a litmus test for your parents?  ... ... ...
[17:27] arynwyn: Ari: <looks at the ground for a moment, then hops off the counter> Yeah, stupid idea. Sorry. <she heads for the door>
[17:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: No, I...there is an old saying that if you can fool your friends, you can fool your enemies, but...just yesterday I was the scum of the Earth and today we're dating? That's going to be too quick a turnaround for them to believe...but, maybe if we...<starts muttering aloud about it, brain revving on the "how" of it all>
[17:30] arynwyn: Ari: <turns back around to listen> We wouldn't just announce it today, of course. Wait a bit, show we're getting closer, let them come to the conclusion we're dating... <she steps back over to him> It's totally up to you, of course. 
[17:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...I'll do it on the condition that if we get found out, you'll tell them <jerks his thumb towards the commons> it was your idea before the fists start flying.  Deal? <sticks his hand out for a handshake>
[17:32] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and nods, then shakes his hand> Deal. Thanks, Syloren. 
[17:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: You're welcome.  I'm still really surprised you'd be willing to do this, though...even with just keeping it to smiles and pecks on the cheek...
[17:34] arynwyn: Ari: Who knows what will happen. <she winks, grinning, and turns to go>
[17:34] arynwyn: *happen?
[17:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Nothing.  I promise.  I'll behave.  <though he can't help looking her over when her back is to him>
[17:35] arynwyn: Ari: <thinks: Don't be so sure...; she smirks, though he can't see it> You will... <she opens the door and looks back at him, grinning>
[17:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <blinks and begins to wonder if he's signed a devil's deal, but follows her, quietly, back into the commons, heading for the stairs again>
[17:37] arynwyn: Ari: <steps into the kitchen> Hey Katalya! <bright smile> Want some breakfast? <she looks back at Lore> Sleep well, Syloren.
[17:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <smiles and nods and wonders how, between coffee and wonderment, he's ever going to sleep> Thank you, Arianna. 
 Kat: <blinks, not having realized they were both there> Oh, um...sure, I was getting ready to start cooking, but...I'm afraid my pancakes are even worse than my bacon...
[17:41] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and starts the stove, rummaging around for ingredients> I can show you or you can have a seat and just keep me company? <starts mixing stuff together for pancakes> Oh drat. I forgot to ask if Syloren was going to eat with us... <frown>
[17:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <pulls a chair up near the stove> I'll watch.  Have to improve my cooking somehow.  And Lore's been up all night thinking about what a bad boy he's been.  He'll need to sleep; last time he passed out in the lab, we lost the southwest corner of the shop.
[17:45] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and grins> Oh dear. <pours some batter in the pan> So... tell me about him? 
[17:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: About Lore? <laughs> Besides the fact that he uses one head in the lab and the other with women, what did you want to know?
[17:47] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> I dunno. Ex girlfriends? Current girlfriends? <tries to seem casual> Or his family? He's only mentioned that his mother wants him to marry to pacify his father, whom he angered by starting this shop. <pulls off a few pancakes and puts more batter in>
[17:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <snitches a pancake and munches, tossing it between hands when it's too hot to hold> Well, he's had very few girlfriends, and of those, I'm the only ex he still tolerates.  He's the only ex of mine that I like at all either.  Most women are one night stands; girlfriend, for him, is really "woman I've had sex with more than once"...well, more than one evening. 
 His family's all Hunters, stretching back to the dawn of time, the way they tell it. He was a Hunter, had a pet and everything, but he gave it up to start the shop.  His mom helped him with the money for it, actually.
[17:51] arynwyn: Ari: <nods again, handing Kat a plate with a couple more cakes on it> You're an ex? What's he like? <slight blush>
[17:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <arches an eyebrow as she takes the plate> "What's he like?"  You want to...clarify that?  Lore and I didn't really do much besides stay in bed all day most of the time.
[17:53] arynwyn: Ari: No, I just meant... as a boyfriend. Not the sex part. <more blushing. she moves away from the stove to search out some fruit, grateful for the distraction>
[17:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <shrugs> Well...it's really all we did.  It's all we wanted out of each other.  Lore's not like other guys: he has one pure purpose with most women, and he does not deviate.
[17:56] arynwyn: Ari: <nods slowly> So he's really not boyfriend material. <starts slicing strawberries> Pity. <she sighs> No chance of that changing, hm? Even after a near-death experience? <she grins and looks over at Kat>
[18:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...wait, wait, are you saying...after all that shit he put you through...<shakes her head> Look, I know he's attractive - sculpted chest, strong arms, pretty hair.  He's really good at saying pretty things.  He's a good kisser and he's great in bed.  But...a regular, normal boyfriend?  Lore?  I think Northrend's more likely to melt first. <munches pancake>
[18:01] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and hands her a bowl of sliced strawberrys and some sugar> I suppose you're right. But... <she wipes her hands on a towel and shrugs> Nevermind.
[18:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Why would you even be interested in him, after yesterday?
[18:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oooo strawberries...
[18:02] arynwyn: Ari: I just... <shrugs again> He's different than any guy I've ever met, I guess. It's a nice change. And the time we *did* spend together, before I freaked out about it, was... <blushing> amazing. 
[18:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oh light, his victims are having delayed reactions now...You know that he doesn't ever want to get married, right?  He wants a good time, and as far as he's concerned having a good time with a woman means being between her legs.  I mean...yeah, I think he's learned a hard lesson yesterday, so maybe he'll learn to be more respectful, but...I doubt I beat him into a man ready to have a steady relationship with a woman.
[18:06] arynwyn: Ari: <pours them each a glass of milk and then she hops up on a counter with some of her own strawberries> I suppose you're right. <munches and sighs>
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...<munches quietly, then leans over and whispers conspiratorily> He is a good kisser though, hm? <grin>
[18:08] arynwyn: Ari: <grins and blushes> Amazing. I'd only kissed once before. A blundering farmboy. <she shakes her head> But Syloren... wow. Talk about able to take your breath away... <smiles down at her berries at the memory>
[18:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I so want to take "smiles down at her berries" and turn it into some sort of perverted inside joke somehow...it just sounds like it needs to be one...))
[18:10] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Yeah. it does. Go for it. xD ))
[18:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((If only I knew how...If only I could think of a way, Lord!! Jesus, help me!
 Jesus: Um...No?
 Fine, Jesus, just be that way.))
[18:11] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[18:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <straightens up and giggles> Yeah, well, all the practice he's had, he'd better be good at it.  <munch munch> These are awesome, by the way.  If Lore pisses you off again, I'll pay you to stay and cook.  Oh excuse me, WHEN Lore pisses you off again...especially if you're determined to try and make him date-able...
[18:13] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> Oh, no. I wouldn't be able to accept payment. Letting me stay here is enough. D'you want anything else? Pancakes and strawberries isn't exactly a lot... 
[18:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: No, no, this is wonderful!  I think my normal breakfasts are half a strip of bacon and some eggs.  <pauses>  Y'know...I was about to ask where Ash and Hal were, but either they've not regained consciousness or they're going at it again.  So nevermind.  But you'll probably have to repeat this miracle when they finally find their clothes and can walk again.
[18:16] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles> It would be my pleasure. Teaching me to cook is the one good thing my mother did for me... <she picks up the plates and bowls and starts to wash them> Thanks for keeping me company.
[18:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Thanks for letting me watch. <ponders> I know this is kind of tactless, but hey, Lore isn't the only one and at least I'm not trying to get into your pants: Hate your parents much, do you?
[18:20] arynwyn: Ari: <as she dries a dish> Well... I don't *hate* them. I just wish they'd forget about me. That's actually how I met Lore. Asked him if he had a potion to make people forget something. They seem to think I'm the problem child, so they're extra hard on me. And I'm the youngest, so that doesn't help. If they'd just forget about this  jerk they want me to marry, things would be okay...
[18:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Lore was saying something about some lecherous old pervert?
[18:22] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> Lord Gregonin. <she shudders> He's about sixty-five, has had three wives already, and now he wants me. I almost feel like he's brainwashed my parents. Or put a spell on them. It's terrible. He looks at me like... like a piece of meat. But not like Lore does. It's like he's a predator. 
[18:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <winces> Okay, so the prospect of hiding behind Lore for awhile doesn't sound so hideous by comparison.  I understand.
[18:24] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and leans in to whisper> Don't you think it's strange that he's had so many wives? That so many have died after marrying him? <she shakes her head and puts the dishes away> 
[18:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ... ... ...okay now that IS a little creepy.  <clears her throat>  So you claim to be marrying this nice young man..<giggle, clear throat again> from this nice, well-established and well-off family, and they'll tell Ol' Creepy McPervypants to hit the road?
[18:28] arynwyn: Ari: That's the hope... <leans agains the counter> I can't decide when to write my parents and tell them. I should wait at least a few days, don't you think? I only just arrived in the city a couple of days ago. But I can't wait too long or they'll send some servant to drag me back...
[18:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Give it a day or so.  Man-huntin' takes time. <she giggles momentarily, but it fades quickly. She blinks back into herself as she realizes she's gone quiet> You'll have to think up a good story about how you met him too.  But get his help with that; put Lore's silver tongue to *decent* use for a change.  You'll note, I didn't say *good* use - he's quite good with it.  But *decent*...well, we may have to teach that word to him first, actually....
[18:32] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> Good idea. If you're going to be around, will you let me know when he gets up? I think I'll go up to my room for a while, since Ash and Hal haven't come down yet. 
[18:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Sure.  <looks out the window at the sun> Yikes.  They normally don't sleep in this late.  Must've been goin' all night..<giggles>
 
 ((Ash: See...you say that like it's funny, but I swear I'm on the verge of death here.))
[18:35] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and heads back up the stairs> 
 
 (( Hal: Aw, c'mon, You know you love it! <pounces> ))
[18:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ash: Oh I do, it's always how I dreamed of dying, but...still, if I die, then we're done.  Forever.  Even if I get brought back as one of the Forsaken, I'm pretty sure we're still done.))
[18:37] arynwyn: (( Hal: <blinkblink> SLEEP! <she shoos him to bed, then chains herself to a wall> ))
[18:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ash: Ahh, there is a god. <passes out>
 Lucky :P I have to leave in just under an hour and *now* I'm tired? rawr.))
[18:39] arynwyn: (( Aww. Well, you want to rest or RP something else? ))
[18:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have an alarm clock so I think I'll try and rest for...50 ish minutes))
[18:40] arynwyn: (( Mkay. <huggles> Thanks for the RP! What time will you be back again? Ish? ))
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((umm...4:30ish your time? 10:30ish EST.  It's hard to know - Fridays, Lisa stays up past her normal 10 pm bedtime, but then she's been feeling kinda "eh" lately, so...I dunno. ^_^ Normally we're done with Stargate at 10 though))
[18:41] arynwyn: (( Mkay. I'll be on here or WoW. ))
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay for awesome RP and writingness though :3 ))
[18:42] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[18:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
[18:42] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Have fun! Get some rest. ))
[18:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
Session Close (arynwyn): Fri Oct 05 18:42:26 2007


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Sun Oct 07 19:59:26 2007
[19:59] Chaos Angel Sox: <pounce>
[19:59] Chaos Angel Sox: blargh can't type yet.
[19:59] arynwyn: Yay!
[19:59] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[20:00] Chaos Angel Sox: sorry I slept so long; kept getting woken up by stuff <huggles>
[20:00] arynwyn: No worries. <huggles> I had to finish cleaning the kitchen anyway. And I made brownies. 
[20:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooooooooo!
[20:01] arynwyn: They're still cooling. ^^
[20:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Normally I'd say I was heading to your place, but I don't want to interrupt quality Tim time.
[20:01] arynwyn: <laugh> Got another nine hours, at least, so you're good.
[20:02] Chaos Angel Sox: sweeeeeet.
[20:02] arynwyn: Been thinkin' about RP all day... I was gunna post an LJ convo between Ari and Killian, but... I wasn't sure exactly what they'd talk about. 
[20:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah I was thinking about RP in between sleepings.  ^_^  I was mostly thinking how the reactions would go to Kat's...um...enthusiasm.  After all, she's *loud*, loud enough to be heard through walls, easily.
 I figure Ash would wake up, realize what it was, and go back to sleep; he spent time around Lore & Talya when they were dating.  Lore wouldn't even wake up; if anything, he'd just snuggle in closer to Ari and then fall back asleep. <giggle>
[20:06] arynwyn: <laugh> I mostly thought about Ari and Lore, to be honest. Things are going to be *so* different, at least for Ari. 
[20:06] arynwyn: Oh! I have a question.
[20:06] Chaos Angel Sox: My brain sticks with whatever the last thing was before it passes out. ^_^  
 
 Ask avay ^_^
[20:07] arynwyn: Mkay, well... What should I do about Val? Half of me wants to expose the brutal side of Hal and have her go out and track her down and kill her... but then the other part of me says, No, she should attack the guild hall and everyone should kick her ass, letting Ash finish her off. Maybe? I dunno. What do you think?
[20:08] arynwyn: And I can't wait any longer. I must get brownie!
[20:08] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles>
[20:09] arynwyn: YUM.
[20:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Well, we still haven't decided what to do with that uber-complicated scrap of plot beginning I came up with the other day; Val could be really useful for that.  And if she dies in that, as a result of the contract put out on Hal, then everyone wins. ^_^
[20:10] arynwyn: Oh, true. I had forgotten about that...
[20:10] arynwyn: We can get the ball rollin' on that if you want.
[20:11] Chaos Angel Sox: well did you decide whether you want to do it here or on WoW or write it up together as a story or something else I haven't thought of but your brilliant mind has?
[20:12] arynwyn: I think perhaps on here would be easiest, and I could copy-paste and save it in a word document. Then I can email it to you and we can edit from there, then post large fragments of it on LJ until it's like a novella. What do you think?
[20:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Brilliant!! < /guinness commercial>
 No, really that's a great idea! :3
[20:14] arynwyn: <shares yummy warm brownies>
[20:14] Chaos Angel Sox: <shares Count Chocula>
[20:14] arynwyn: Thanks! :-D
[20:14] arynwyn: oooo!
[20:14] arynwyn: Mkay, so... where to start?!
[20:15] arynwyn: Everything tastes funny, even water... I wonder if I'm getting sick. >.<
[20:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Umm....not sure I can start on the uber plotline right this second; been conscious less than half an hour ^_^; once I'm warmed up a bit we can start destroying people. 
 I'm working on writing Kat's diary entries, so maybe that'll help...oh and I have to look up vocab for class. crap, forgot about that.
[20:15] arynwyn: Oh, oops. =P
[20:16] Chaos Angel Sox: No sick! <chicken noodle soup, ibuprofen, warm blankets!>
[20:16] arynwyn: Take your time.
[20:16] arynwyn: Hehe, thanks. I don't feel sick, aside from that nausea this morning before I went to bed...
[20:16] arynwyn: And I know I'm not preggers. xD
[20:17] Chaos Angel Sox: argh....dadoo and his political opinions >_<
[20:17] arynwyn: ??
[20:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mooms and I are pretty liberal; she says when she was dating/married to Dadoo, he was completely apolitical.  Nowadays though, he's conservative.  VERY much so.  Doesn't vote though.  But anyway... he keeps sending me stuff that he thinks is funny.  The email he just sent me contained a story that's very much in the vein of a lot of stories he sends: Protesting the war means you hate America.  Also, and this is what really pisses me off: "Our soldiers in times past and present have died so that you can have this freedom of speech, so shut the hell up!"  ... ... ... 
[20:20] arynwyn: ~_~
[20:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Dadoo *KNOWS* I'm a liberal, and we've agreed not to talk politics, 'cause it just pisses us both off, but he keeps just hitting SEND TO ALL when he gets these things ~_~
[20:20] arynwyn: >.<
[20:21] arynwyn: I don't even read forwards, generally. I just delete them.
[20:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Gotta write him back and remind him, again.  Don't send me this crap.
 
 They're not FWDs though: Dadoo hates forwarding.  He copies and pastes and sends it out as a new email ^_^;
[20:22] arynwyn: Ugh. That's the same thing, minus the warning it's a forward. >.<
[20:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Basically - and minus all the > arrows Fwding puts on every line - that's really what bugs him ^_^;
[20:23] arynwyn: Ah. =P
[20:23] Chaos Angel Sox: The > will devour my sooooooooullll!
[20:23] arynwyn: O.o
[20:23] arynwyn: Methinks not.
[20:24] Chaos Angel Sox: >>>>>>>>>>>>>  
 They're on the March!
[20:24] arynwyn: <laugh>
[20:26] Chaos Angel Sox: <hums "When Johnny Comes Marchin' Home Again">
[20:26] arynwyn: So I wonder if something is wrong with me... and chocolate. >.> 'Cause the brownie tasted funny, and the ice cream I tried to eat the other night tasted funny. But none of the other foods I've been eating have tasted funny. 
[20:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Just chocolate and ice cream?
[20:26] Chaos Angel Sox: er
[20:26] Chaos Angel Sox: chocolate and water?
[20:26] arynwyn: So far. And the water always tastes funny when I don't put ice in it. >.<
[20:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ... ... ...but isn't the ice made from the same water?
[20:27] arynwyn: Yeah, but I think it's a temperature thing.
[20:28] arynwyn: Warm water isn't as good as cold water, you know?
[20:28] Chaos Angel Sox: 's true
[20:29] arynwyn: So I dunno what's wrong with me. Maybe the ice cream was freezer burnt (which happens a lot with our freezer for some reason) and the eggs I put in the brownies were bad... I hope I don't get food poisoning. >.> I'm so paranoid about food poisoning. And I'm babbling. sorry. >.<
[20:30] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles> is okay
[20:30] arynwyn: <huggles> Lemme know when you're ready for whatever.
[20:31] Chaos Angel Sox: reading Mark's reply. 
[20:32] arynwyn: Ah. I hope it's good. >.<
[20:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah I'm fairly surprised.  He says he's leaving Moon Guard.  He did say: I would like to talk with Sarah about the future of our chars with a history of some sort - basically Rhee/Tura and Marwyn/Sylvera.  I don't know what is going to happen there.  I'm not going to bother her about it yet.
[20:34] arynwyn: Ah. I wondered too. We've been kind of emailing... nothing too in depth. And he is leaving MG? Huhn.
[20:34] Chaos Angel Sox: he says he's leaving the three charas he has, but he's basically leaving the server.
[20:35] arynwyn: I know he's been playing on Sisters of Elune a lot, but I didn't know he was going there permanently.
[20:35] Chaos Angel Sox: <shrugs>
[20:35] Chaos Angel Sox: He says he is still going to see the counselor but he doesn't know that it'll help.
[20:36] arynwyn: <sigh>
[20:36] Chaos Angel Sox: He wants the counselor to tell him to DO something, and that's not always the way it works.  My counselor always told me to think about things.
[20:36] arynwyn: >.>
[20:37] arynwyn: It depends on the type of psychologist. I've had two: a child psychologist (who got things straightened out for me at school when I was failing) and I'm not sure the name of the other one but all he wanted was for me to *do* things and I wanted to *think* about things... <laugh> I'll talk to Mark about it. Unless you want to add that to your email. <shrug>
[20:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Eh, I don't want it to be a "Jen said you said this in the email" thing - the emails are supposed to be between me and him, not shared around, really.  But since he mentioned you...
[20:40] arynwyn: <nodnod> Sorry. 
[20:42] Chaos Angel Sox: don't be sorry. no 'pologies
[20:42] arynwyn: okies...
[20:50] Chaos Angel Sox: okay posted the diary entries finally. <yawn stretch taps her brain> any other RP you wanna do before we start in on complicated-ness?  Lore & Ari the morning after, or Kat & Kil? Didn't you mention there was something you wanted to do with Dam & Xen? or am I on crack?
[20:51] arynwyn: Yes, there is. And it's aother quick thing to work them towards love. 
[20:51] arynwyn: *another
[20:52] arynwyn: And I guess I do want to do the morning after for each, but I'm not sure exactly how interesting it would be. Oh, and I'm going to have Gregorin show up sometime... and I want to change his age from, what did I say? 65? to like 40 or 45.
[20:53] Chaos Angel Sox: <shrugs> I say if we both want to do it, it's at least a little interesting.  And that's cool...Lore would feel bad about beating up a senior citizen ^_~
[20:53] arynwyn: <laugh>
[20:53] arynwyn: Mkay, sure. Which do you want to do first?
[20:54] Chaos Angel Sox: I think Lore & Ari will probably wake up before Kat & Kil do, so let's start with them? ^_^
[20:54] arynwyn: Okies.
[20:54] arynwyn: And Lore'd prolly wake up first. Ari was *exhausted*...
[20:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <rolls over and opens his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light coming in. He rolls away from it and back up against Ari. He grins and kisses her shoulder, then sneaks out of bed, slips some pants on real quick and heads to the bathroom.  He comes back in, pulls the pants back off (he didn't bother putting undies on anyway) and resumes cuddling her in bed>
[21:00] arynwyn: Ari: <mumbles something in her sleep and snuggling back into his arms when he returns. after a few minutes, she yawns and blinks her eyes open, looking around blearily> 
[21:00] arynwyn: *snuggles
[21:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Mornin', sexy. <kisses her lips quickly and smiles at her> How'd you sleep?
[21:02] arynwyn: Ari: <her face breaks out into a grin> Mmm, wonderfully. <she leans up and kisses him, longer than his kiss had been> How about you?
[21:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Great.  Waking up next to you was the best part though. <he's sort of idly touching her, petting her skin, rubbing her tummy, not touching in any place or way to try and get her turned on again, just...enjoying the feel of her>
[21:06] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses his shoulder, smiling> I agree. I never thought this day would come... And I don't want it to end. 
[21:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Well, I don't have anything planned for today.  I can sneak downstairs and grab some food and something to drink and then we can just...stay in bed all day, if you like. <grin> I'm sure I'm not the only one with fantasies to fulfill...well, I hope I'm not anyway...<kissing along her ear, one smooch at a time>
[21:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh> Okay one of our jargon terms this week is BSOD: Blue Screen of Death. I'm tempted to send the song called "Blue Screen of Death" to my instructor....))
[21:12] arynwyn: Ari: <closes her eyes and shivers> I love the sound of that... spending the whole day with you here... that would be amazing. Gods, Lore... <she cuddles closer, smiling sort of stupidly> I've never been this happy... 
[21:12] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Do it! He plays WoW, right? So he's a fun-loving guy! ))
[21:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> He really is.  One of the jargon terms he taught us is RTFM.  Read The F***ing Manual.))
[21:14] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'm glad.  If I had failed to make you as happy as you made me, I'd never forgive myself...<kisses her with slow, lingering passion> ((because I can't think of a better word than "passion"...if I weren't looking up vocab, I'd pull out the thesaurus..))
[21:18] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back, her hand stroking his check> I'm so glad you're happy. I mean, that's what this is all about, right? Making each other happy?
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh right, colors...))
[21:19] arynwyn: (( Hehe, yeah, I forgot until I accidently clicked on it. ))
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods and kisses her neck> Very much so.  Mm.  Wait here, I'll bring something up for breakfast.  I'll want all my strength for you, lovely one. <kisses her lips again and pulls away to get out of bed>
[21:24] arynwyn: Ari: <reluctantly lets him pull away and giggles softly> Cake for breakfast? If there's any left...
[21:25] *** arynwyn has received 02 Track 2.wma.
[21:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <grins> If they thought to leave us any, I'll grab some for us. <tugs his pants back on>
[21:26] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Oh dear. ))
[21:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((This was the first of the "screaming child" songs, actually.  Kid was loud during the concert, and he starts in on this, apparently trying to traumatize the child into silence....))
[21:26] arynwyn: Ari: Anything you need me to do? Come down with you? Or should I just lay here and be sexy? <giggles>
[21:27] arynwyn: (( O.o ))
[21:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah Tom Smith has no patience for loud kids apparently >.>  But you understand why I hesitate to send this to my instructor now? ^_^))
 Lore: <turns to study her, smirking as his eyes travel the length of her body> ....mmm, I vote for laying there and being sexy.  Just so I'm less tempted to just take the cake and run for it. <winks at her>
[21:29] arynwyn: (( Less tempted? ))
[21:30] arynwyn: (( I don't understand the last sentence... ))
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Instead of being distracted by chocolate cake, he'll be more likely to return to his sexy girlfriend.))
[21:34] arynwyn: (( Ah ))
[21:34] arynwyn: (( sorry ))
[21:35] arynwyn: Ari: <grins> Hurry back. I'll be waiting. <she snuggles back into the blankets>

[21:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((wb))
[21:39] arynwyn: (( Whoa, what the hell? It just closed randomly. ))
[21:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay, y'know what? I'm not watching 28 Weeks Later right now >.> makes me all ;__; already and it just started...<ahem> And dont worry about the "less tempted" line; I didn't phrase that real clearly))
[21:40] arynwyn:   (( S'ok. Did you get my post? ))
[21:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Count on it. <grins and ducks downstairs. He notes the two slices set aside for them last night and smiles.  He grabs a bottle of wine, two glasses, forks (in the glasses) and balances the cake plates carefully as he heads back upstairs.  He kicks quietly on the door instead of knocking, since his hands are full>
[21:42] arynwyn: Ari: <hops out of bed and runs over, pulling the door open for him, completely naked. she grins and takes the glasses and sets them on whatever is handy, going back to help him with the rest> I'm starving...
[21:44] arynwyn: (( Hm... when to enter Gregorin... ))
[21:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Me too. <quick kiss as she relieves him of the cake plates; he looks over his shoulder quickly to make sure no one can see her, but of course no one's in the hall.  He kicks the door shut behind him again, grabs hold of Ari as she comes close to him again (after setting cake plates down, I'd assume) and kisses her, running his hand down the length of her back> I'm even hungry for *food* this time...<looking down at her chest pressed against his>
[21:49] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles> That's a pity. I'll just get dressed then... <she pulls away and begins to search for her clothes, making sure to move very seductively, showing off her best assets> 
[21:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Whoa now, let's not be hasty...<walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist>...after all, you know I'm just going to pull them off of you when we're done eating. <kisses the back of her neck>
[21:52] arynwyn: Ari: <grins and turns in his arms to kiss him deeply, then pulls away> I'll pour the wine... <she steps over and pours them each a glass, handing him one and holding her glass up> To us. <she smiles up at him>
[21:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'll drink to that. <clinks his glass against hers and drinks deep> Now...cake, cake...where's the cake...
[21:54] arynwyn: Ari: <takes a long drink as well, and looks around for where they set the cake. she picks up the plates and hands him one, then goes to sit on the bed> Tell me what you think of the cake. <she smiles and takes a bite>
[21:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'm sure it's delicious...<takes a bite>...oh, damn.  I was so wrong.  This is incredible. <eats more and says around the food in his mouth> ...I can't believe you made this!  
 
 ((Talking with your mouth full; way to be charming, Lore.))
[21:57] arynwyn: Ari: <blushes and looks down at her plate> Killian always tells me I should be a pastry chef. But I don't think I really have what it takes. I mean, I can make a good cake... but run my own business? <shakes her head and takes another bite>
[21:59] arynwyn: (( S'ok. Ari's already charmed. ^^ ))
[22:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: It's not hard.  Time consuming sometimes, but...it just takes a lot of attention to detail. <grin> I like paying attention to details...<noting some of hers again as he eats>
[22:03] arynwyn: Ari: <shrugs> I don't think I'm smart enough. I'll just get married and be a wife, like I'm supposed to. <takes another long drink of wine> 
[22:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: You don't have to be smart to run a business.  Hell, I run my own. <grins at her and kisses her cheek, leaving a chocolate smear>
[22:08] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and wipes the chocolate away> Don't imply you're not intelligent! <she chucks a pillow at him> You're very smart. I wouldn't like you if you weren't. <finishes her cake and drains her glass> I don't have the money to start up a business anyway. And my father wouldn't fund me, that's for sure.
[22:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ....<sets his plate down and looks at her> Ari, would you want to start your own business?  Leave aside the "oh I don't have the money and I'm not good enough" crap for a minute.  If you had all the necessary means...would you want to?
[22:13] arynwyn: Ari: <chews on her bottom lip a moment> I love to cook and bake. It makes me feel useful and like I have purpose. If I could support myself by doing that, it would be great. I mean... <sigh> I'm plagued by doubts and fears, but... maybe. I would seriously consider it, if I had the means. <she shrugs> But I don't. So it doesn't matter.
[22:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <thinks about this while he drinks his wine> ...you already know I offer things besides pure potions: chocolates and wine.  Granted, mine are laced with chemicals, but...and maybe I'm just talking nonsense here, but what if I sold some of your pastries through my shop?  All the profits are yours, I'm just providing the space.  And I promise not to...alter them in any way.
[22:19] arynwyn: Ari: <chews on her lips again> That's not really fair to you... I mean... maybe if you let me pay you for the use of your shop... But I still don't have any money to start up. I mean, I have a little coin, but after the party last night... I'm pretty much broke. I don't have enough for ingredients for even five cakes. 
[22:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: We'll take care of that.  The smell of fresh cakes and baked goods will have customers flocking to the shop.  And...it'd make you smile, right? <kisses her lips so she'll stop chewing on them>
[22:24] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him close> You'd do that for me? Really? 
[22:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I wouldn't offer otherwise.  I mean, there's something to be said for teasing a woman, but not this way. <grins>  I'm serious.  Besides, if you're leaving pastries out, just gives me the chance to swipe some. <peppering her skin with kisses>
[22:28] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and hugs him tightly> You keep on amazing me, Lore... <she nuzzles his neck> Then yes, I accept. I would love to try. I may fall flat on my face, but... at least I'll have tried. <she kisses his neck> And I'll make you any pastries you want, you don't need to steal. <she grins>
[22:31] arynwyn: (( Posted journal replies ))
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Awww, stealing's more fun. And you won't fall on your face.  I'm here to catch you.  <pulls her in against him> ....and you don't owe me anything, but...I can think of some ways we can show each other our mutual appreciation...<grins and kisses her>
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((woo!))
[22:33] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and kisses him again> 
 
 (( Want to switch to Kat and Kil? ))
[22:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure ^_^))
[22:33] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[22:34] Chaos Angel Sox: (("And are you so sure I didn't take anything? Maybe you should inventory your room..." <laughs> did he steal some panties?))
[22:34] arynwyn: Kil: <wakes up just as dawn arrives, laying there and thinking about the previous night. he rolls over and drapes an arm over Kat, smiling down at her and admiring her. he kisses her neck softly>
[22:35] arynwyn: (( <laugh> No. He's not a pervert, yeesh! He didn't take anything, he's just kidding. ))
[22:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I figured, but...it would've been funny <giggles>))
[22:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Kat had pink right? >.>))
[22:35] arynwyn: (( Yep. Oh, new color. >.< ))
[22:36] arynwyn: (( I kind of want him to have taken something, but I don't know what he would have taken... ))
[22:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's okay.  There really isn't a need for it. ^_^))
 Kat: <stirs and rolls into him> mmm. <tugs him closer>
[22:39] arynwyn: Kil: <pulls her close and leans down to kiss her neck again, whispering> Don't wake up... <he slips out of bed and retrieves the diary, then climbs in next to her and cuddling her as he reads>
[22:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <murmurs contentedly as she snuggles up against him>
[22:43] arynwyn: Kil: <pens in his replies and then sets the diary down on her bedside table, making sure his note is still in the front cover. he pulls her close and strokes her hair, smiling down at her. think: Whoever this guy is that left you like this, he's a complete idiot. I'd give anything to wake up next to you every morning...>
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ..mmm...you c'n keep doin' that...<she mumbles as he strokes her hair>
[22:46] arynwyn: Kil: <whispers> I wouldn't dream of stopping... <continues to stroke her hair as he leans in to kiss her shoulder, leaving a trail of kisses across her collarbone until he reaches the hollow of her throat>
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: mmm...I liked last night....<her eyes are still closed, but she sounds more awake>
[22:49] arynwyn: Kil: <smiles> Just liked? Damn, I failed... <continues to kiss her throat and shoulder>
[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <giggles and finally opens her eyes to look at him> well feel free to keep trying. <slides her arms up his back to meet around his neck> I won't complain.
[22:54] arynwyn: Kil: <grins and leans in to kiss her deeply, his hand running down her stomach and down in between her legs> Then I will... <begins to pleasure her as he kisses her, pulling her body close to his to feel her skin on his>
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <closes her eyes and moans against his lips, arching her back and clinging to him tightly>
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((rewrote that so much))
[23:01] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:02] arynwyn: Kil: <moves in between her legs, not letting up, not breaking the kiss. he pulls his fingers out quickly and slides into her, gasping softly> Gods, Katalya...
[23:06] arynwyn: (( <shares brownie> ))
[23:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <moans louder and wraps her legs around him, pulling him in deeper>...yes, more...please <arching against him again>
[23:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oo, thank you.  What's Tim's ETA? I'm sure you're keeping track. ^_^))
[23:07] arynwyn: (( uhm... like 11 or 12 my time. ))
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((wow, that's late. ;__; ))
[23:08] arynwyn: Kil: <sucks on her neck, leaving small bruises, as he quickens his pace, pressing in as deeply as he can, grunting quietly>
[23:08] arynwyn: (( Hehe, but you're here to keep me company. =P ))
[23:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep! *huggles*)) 
 Kat: <crying out in undiluted ecstasy (which is a word I apparently can't type tonight), moaning for more, yes, please as she moves against him harder and faster> Kil..li..an...<she groans shakily>
[23:15] arynwyn: Kil: <lets her finish once, but doesn't let himself go. he knows that a woman like this needs to climax more than once... and she deserves it, after all that bastard put her through... he continues to move in and out of her at a quick pace, moaning> Gods, I love it when you say my name... 
[23:17] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Ooo, Killian!  You really are Kat's perfect man...<snickers> So thoughtful))
[23:17] arynwyn: (( Kil: <bows> She is a goddess, she deserves the best. <grin> ))
[23:18] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Last night when Ash gave Hal her second "present" she was all "Ho shit, is he gunna propose?!" ))
[23:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He'll save that for Xmas ^_~))
[23:19] arynwyn: (( nice! <laugh> ))
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <she starts to calm down after her first orgasm, but quickly starts to build back up as he keeps going, whispering at first but gets louder in short order; she rolls them over and takes over the pace, her hands pushing him down as she kisses his neck and chest>
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay so when I wasn't making blatant typos ("as she" kept ending up "ass he"), I couldn't think of what to have her do...))
[23:27] arynwyn: Kil: <grins as he ends up on his back, moaning as she takes over at a quicker pace, fighting off the pressure that's building within him, wanting her to finish at least once more. his hands caress her back and ass as he moves his body in sync with hers>
[23:27] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I do the ass thing all the time. >.< ))
[23:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ass ass ass ass - just fun to type))
[23:28] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I apparently brought home lesbian Lucy Liu stuff...and here I thought she was going to be a vampire killer.))
[23:30] arynwyn: (( Huh?! ))
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have no idea....oh okay, she trapped the prostitute.))
[23:32] arynwyn: (( Is this a movie or what? ))
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yes.))
[23:32] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay. ))
[23:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe's happy though ^_^))
[23:33] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <her hands dig into his skin as she arches her  tensing body, throwing her head back and moaning loudly as she hits her second climax>
[23:37] arynwyn: Kil: <lets himself go as well, giving a great gasp and a moan, then wraps his arms around her and holds her close, breathing hard and sweating>
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <scrabbles for breath as she lays against him>...mmmmmm. You....amaze...me. 
[23:42] arynwyn: Kil: <breathing hard> I... live to serve,... Katalya. <he smiles and kisses any skin he can reach>
[23:43] arynwyn: (( "I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?" <snerk> ))
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <chuckles> Oooo personal slave boy....that has potential...<kissing his neck>
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Why do I think I know that...?))
[23:44] arynwyn: Kil: <chuckles> Are you hungry? I could go scrounge up some food. Ari's not the only one who can cook, though I'm not nearly as good as her...
[23:44] arynwyn: (( Meet the Parents ))
[23:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah.  Seen it in the previews, that's why ^_^))
[23:46] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...hmm, food would be welcome....I seem to have spent a great deal of energy last night and this morning...I wonder how that happened? <musing aloud, smiling>
[23:48] arynwyn: Kil: <grins and sits up, laying her down next to him and climbs out of bed> Any requests? <he searches around for his pants and slips them on, then his shirt> Oh, and I replied to your journal entries. Give them a read if you want.
[23:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oh? <she crawls over to the bedside table and grabs the diary> And my only request right now is food...and something to drink that's not booze, for a change. <she sits cross legged on the bed, still naked, and opens the diary to read what he wrote> My, such tidy little handwriting....
[23:53] arynwyn: Kil: <smiles> Food it is. I'll be back in a few minutes with something. <he steps out into the hall and closes the door. about ten minutes later he comes back with a bowl of fruit and toast (not burnt) with jam and honey, a two big glasses of juice> It's not much; I didn't want to stay away too long. <he sets the tray down on the bed next to her>
[23:54] arynwyn: ( the fruit is chopped and easy to eat with your fingers )
[23:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Good plan. <she smiles up from the diary, closing it and setting it on the other side of her. then leans over and kisses him quickly before popping a bite of fruit into her mouth> Thank you for what you wrote.  You're so sweet. <she smiles at him>
[23:58] arynwyn: Kil: <smiles and nods> Do you want to talk about the dream? <takes a piece of toast and pours a good amount of honey on it, taking a big bite>
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...did that bother you?  I mean...<wipes a bit of honey off the corner of his mouth and then licks her finger clean before she eats some more fruit>...that I dreamt about? That you died because I wouldn't leave? <she looks down>
[00:02] arynwyn: Kil: <licks his lips and leans in to kiss her> Not at all. What bothers me about it is that you stayed there and let yourself be unhappy. Why would you do that to yourself? You deserve so much more than that. As you said last night, life is too short. Why did you stay? 
[00:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I don't know. I just said that...that I couldn't leave.  Maybe I thought it was impossible to get out?  Maybe I'd...just gotten used to it.  I don't know.  It's a dream, and after last night....I don't know that it means anything anymore. <she looks at the diary instead of at him, petting the cover idly> Would you really die for me?  You hardly know me.
[00:07] arynwyn: Kil: <smiles softly> I would. <he watches her a moment> Why do you stay with him, if you are unhappy? That is the central issue, isn't it? Is it because you love him? <munches more toast>
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I don't know.  I thought I was falling for him, but maybe that was just...a sort of dependence.  He seemed to need me so much, and I spent so much time doing whatever it took to keep him with me.  I keep wondering if...if I drove him off.  Because I didn't love him the way he wanted or he found someone else or...I don't know.  Who knows what rogues think?  Mysterious, deceitful lot....except for Hallie. <she amends>
[00:10] arynwyn: Kil: <nods and sighs> I just hate to see you wasting away here, waiting for him. But what do I know? I'm just the bast-... Nevermind.
[00:11] arynwyn: (( (Link: http://www.cabalcity.com/angels/downloads/wallpaper/Selenia_Dark_Angel_Cover_Mathew_Wilson.jpg)http://www.cabalcity.com/angels/downloads/wallpaper/Selenia_Dark_Angel_Cover_Mathew_Wilson.jpg&nbsp;-))
[00:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Stop calling yourself that. <puts her hand on his shoulder> I mean it.  I don't think of you that way.  How could I even have known that's what you were if you hadn't told me?  I don't give a damn about the legitimacy of your birth.  You're considerate and thoughtful and a hell of a good romp in bed. <grins> Those are what I care about.
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nifty!))
[00:13] arynwyn: Kil: <half grins and nods> It's a habit. Whenever I speak out of turn at home, I'm expected to apologize and say that. <he shrugs and pops a piece of apple in his mouth> 
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: It's not out of turn. ....<pops fruit in her mouth and chews thoughtfully> ...you falling for me, Killian?
[00:15] arynwyn: Kil: <raises an eyebrow> And if I am? 
[00:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Well...<pulls her knees up to her chest and hugs them> that was part of Sasuke's problem.  He says, "I love you" and I couldn't reply the same way.  I don't...<she chuckles ironically>...I'm not Ash.  Boy falls in love like a ton of bricks, from what Lore says, and faster than a lightning strike.  I don't do that.  I've never been in love, and I was just starting to feel that way when Sasuke left.  I don't want...I don't want to crush your hopes and dreams.
[00:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ash: Damnit, when did I become the Love & Relationships Poster Boy?  
 Me: When we hooked you up with Hal.))
[00:22] arynwyn: Kil: <touches her cheek, smiling> You don't need to worry about me. I don't fall fast, and I never said anything about love. I like you, I want to see you happy. And if I get hurt in the process, well... I've been hurt before. Right now I have no hopes or dreams of anything dealing with you, and I won't until this other guy is addressed. Last night was amazing, *you* are amazing... but you deserve better than someone like me. <turns back to his toast>
[00:28] arynwyn: (( <LOL> A line for Lore: woman- "We can't solve all our problems with sex" man- "I'm willing to try" ))
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Better than someone like you?  You're saying somewhere out there there's a man who's better than someone who filled my room with rose petals, got me a diary so I'd be less lonely, and gave me a night...and part of this morning...of incredibly satisfying sexual pleasure? <she laughs> Yeah, okay, if you think he exists, track him down and introduce him to me, will you? <pats him on the thigh and kisses his cheek>
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LoL> VERY Lore line))
[00:31] arynwyn: Kil: <shrugs again> You are like a goddess, and I'm just an ant on the earth you dwell on. <more toast and a drink> I am unable to make you happy, therefore there is someone better for you. 
[00:32] arynwyn: (( Gah, I can't find my favorite pic on Google... ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...you spent all last night making me happy!  Are you kidding me?  And please, please don't say I'm a goddess....I don't want that pressure.  <grabs hold of his chin and yanks his face over to hers> You make me happy.  If you don't believe me, I'll beat you until you do. <grins to let him know she's teasing>
[00:34] arynwyn: Kil: <kisses her gently> I may be able to give you pleasure, but I can't solve your problems and make you completely happy. And beat me if you must. <he closes his eyes and tenses up as if waiting for a blow, but he peeks out of one eye>
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
[00:36] arynwyn: (( <huggles back> What's that for? :-D ))
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: (('cause you couldn't find your favorite pic on Google; I posted then went to reheat a slice of pizza))
[00:37] arynwyn: (( Ah. =P ))
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <giggles> Is this where we go back to the varying meanings of the phrase "beating a man off"? <kisses the eye that's still closed> You don't have to solve my problems for me.  I didn't ask you to, and you're right: you can't.  This is a problem I have to solve.  In the meantime, despite staying up half the night thrashing in rapturous enjoyment, I still slept better than I have in weeks, and I got to wake up next to someone. ...and then enjoy more rapture. <grins> Twice.  You're doing everything you can and then some: above and beyond the call of duty.
[00:43] arynwyn: (( Sorry, ran to the bathroom. ))
[00:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay :D))
[00:44] arynwyn: Kil: <opens his eyes and smiles> I do what I can. So tell me... what more can I do? To keep you happy? Anything within my power and it's done.
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Well...<stretches out along the bed, still nude, and puts her hands behind her head>...I was thinking of getting dressed and touring some museums, reading at the library, then seeing an opera. <turns her head to him, smiling brightly> Doesn't that sound like *fun*?
[00:48] arynwyn: Kil: <bows, grinning> Your wish is my command. Which opera? I am quite versed in them. 
[00:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <arches an eyebrow> You know opera? <trying not to laugh>
[00:49] arynwyn: Kil: <nods> I was given the priviledge of the same tutors and teachers as my siblings. Opera, poetry, dancing... I know it all. <slight blush>
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sits up and looks at him> ...okay, I'm sort of impressed and sort of worried.  If you hadn't just spent all night being sweaty and heaving with me, I might have to question your sexuality.
[00:51] arynwyn: Kil: <laughs and looks away, slightly embarrassed> I assure you, I am not gay. My brothers learned the same. It's something my father insisted upon, to make us more refined.
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Hm...and has being "refined" helped you much in your life? <lays on her stomach, kicks her legs up and crosses them at the ankles and props her head on her hands to look at him>
[00:54] arynwyn: Kil: <shrugs> Not yet. I'm sure it's helped my eldest brother, being a lord and all. But me? No. I doubt it ever will. Unless it's impressing you? <raises and eyebrow and grins>
[00:55] arynwyn: (( Okay, so... I know she's not wearing *any* armor (it puts Blizz's armor to shame) but I think it's kind of cool they gave her wounds/scars... (Link: http://www.worldofwarhammer.ru/images/info/large/warhammer_dark_elf.jpg)http://www.worldofwarhammer.ru/images/info/large/warhammer_dark_elf.jpg))
[00:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I don't think she actually has nipples...or pubic hair.  But the scars are cool...))
[00:56] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <she drops her head to the bed to stifle her laughter> No...sorry, not really.  I was just being snooty and pretentious.  I'd rather take my mail in for repair, go window shopping to see what the new fall dresses look like, maybe try a few on even though I can't afford them, then go drink and eat pub food before coming back here and having my wicked way with you...oh...<pause to think> at least 4 more times. <smiles innocently>
[01:00] arynwyn: Kil: <grins and leans in to kiss her> My kind of woman. And for the record, I *hate* opera. <he pulls away and eats another piece of fruit> We could go dress shopping, if you want, but only if you let me buy you something. And take you out to dinner. 
[01:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <laughs> You want to buy me clothes? Most men would rather I not have more fabric between me and them...
[01:02] arynwyn: Kil: <laughs> I didn't say you'd be wearing it tonight. But I can't take you out to dinner naked. <he looks thoughtful> Or can I?... <grin>
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <giggles> You can, but I doubt we'd be allowed to stay too long.  Or we could have dinner in and wear as much or as little as we choose. <suggestive grin>
[01:05] arynwyn: (( Tim should be landing soon! But then he's gotta unload a crap-ton of stuff. ))
[01:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awwwwwwwwww...but once he's home, he's all yours again, yes?))
[01:06] arynwyn: Kil: <half grins> I like the sound of that... I know a nice take-out place too. <he kisses her and pulls her to him> So, naked dining, yes?
[01:07] arynwyn: (( YES! No work tomorrow, and maybe not Tuesday either. And tonight I get <cough> nevermind... ))
[01:07] arynwyn: (( So... you wanna FF to something? Maybe Sasuke showing up? <giggle> ))
[01:08] arynwyn: (( I'm in a tormenting mood. ))
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> oh dear....))
 Kat: Mmmmmm yes.  And then the pouncing. <predatory smile>
 
 ((Sure I can bring Sasuke in....I'm thinking when they're all nekkid and rolling around but haven't gotten to the actual "Insert Tab A into Slot B" of it yet...))
[01:11] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Okay, so... that night? After Killian brings in food, they eat, etc? ))
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> we FF to... Kat: The pouncing? <hopeful gleam in her eyes>  Me: <sigh> Yes, Kat, to the pouncing.   Kat: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!))
[01:12] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[01:12] arynwyn: (( Sure thing. ))
[01:13] arynwyn: (( And the take-out place is the same Keth & Zadie go to. ^^ ))
[01:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Kat: <tosses take-out food aside and pounces Killian>  Me: Jeeze, girl!  Down! Down!   Kat: <growls protectively over Killian, a dog defending its food dish>  Me: <backs away> ...or up.  Up is good, I suppose...especially if you're Killian...))
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <Sitting on the bed, she munches thoughtfully on the last of her food>...for take out, this is pretty good.  I still swear Ari makes better though. <she drinks a little and smiles at Kil> But thanks for the idea. <grins> I like this better anyway; the dress code's so much more relaxed.

[01:16] arynwyn: (( Frackin' thing. >.> ))
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugs> Did you get Kat's actual post?))
[01:17] arynwyn: (( No. >.< ))
[01:17] arynwyn: (( Sorry hon... ))
[01:17] arynwyn: (( It keeps freezing up. ))
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's okay - fortunately it's easier to copy and paste here. <huggles> No 'pologies.  not your fault))
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <Sitting on the bed, she munches thoughtfully on the last of her food>...for take out, this is pretty good.  I still swear Ari makes better though. <she drinks a little and smiles at Kil> But thanks for the idea. <grins> I like this better anyway; the dress code's so much more relaxed. 
[01:18] arynwyn: Kil: <grins and picks up the boxes and sets them on the floor, then sets their glasses down. he climbs back onto the bed, kissing her deeply> (( Are they naked then? ))
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Naked dining! <giggle>))
[01:20] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[01:21] arynwyn: Kil: <pushes her down onto her back, his hands running all over her body, touching all of her most sensitive areas> You are the most beaufitul thing I've ever seen, Katalya... 
[01:21] arynwyn: (( Gah. 7th Heaven makes me miss my family so bad. >.< ))
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <happy sighs as his hands roam> C'mere, handsome <taking hold of his head and pulling him down for easy kissing access> 
 ((have to pick out Sas's color....))
[01:23] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okies. ))
[01:24] arynwyn: Kil: <grins and kisses her long and hard, moving so he's half on top of her, his body pressed up against her. his hand slides down to play between her legs, something he seems to greatly enjoy>
[01:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((have to much with Sasuke's character a little; his tendency seems to be to sulk off and be childish more than anything else, but hey, he's been getting less shy and more assertive...or he was last I RPed with him....so hey, we'll put that to the test ^_^))
[01:27] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okies. ))
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <moans> yes...mmm...you can keep doing that....<arching against him>
 Or not. <a cold voice comments, seemingly from nowhere.>
 Kat: <freezes, her eyes widening a little>
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Pink & Brown - it's like Baskin Robbins!))
[01:29] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[01:30] arynwyn: Kil: <sits up and pulls away, wrapping a blanket around himself and standing> Who's there? Come out. Stop skulking about like a coward.
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((crap now I have to remember what Sasuke looked like....is it bad that that's hard?))
[01:32] arynwyn: (( Just means you haven't seen him in forever. So maybe. >.> ))
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <winces>
 <a man with long dark hair steps out of the shadows of Kat's room, dressed all in black, folding his arms and frowning> Coward? Better that than...<glares at Kat, so angry he can't even form the words>
 Kat: <sighs, pulling a sheet up to cover herself> ...Sasuke...I...<doesn't even know where to start to try to explain this>
[01:35] arynwyn: Kil: <narrows his eyes> Ah, so you are the rogue who left her to wonder... Where the hell have you been for the last... who knows how many months. <one fist balls up at his side>
[01:35] arynwyn: *months?
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Sas: None of *your* concern. <he's still glaring at Kat> Is this where you tell me "this isn't what it looks like"?
 Kat: Sasuke, you know I have *never* lied to you.
 Sas: Oh, yes, a perfect model of morality, you are.
 
[01:39] arynwyn: Kil: <surges forward and punches him *hard* in the mouth> You shut the fuck up! You have no place telling her what's right after disappearing for months on end without so much as a simple explanation! <he breathes fire (figuratively, of course)>
[01:40] arynwyn: (( Oh please oh please don't pull the rogue dodge thing. >.> ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He's too mad to be all "I am teh super rogue! Rawr!" Besides, if Killian's the approximate level to Kat, he's got about 10 levels on him. Dodge this, bitch. ^_~))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( <LOL> mkay, good! )
[01:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: o_O
 Sas: <puts his hand to his lip, wiping blood away as he turns his wrathful glare to the newcomer> Oh, so that gives her the *right* to cheat on me?  Or are you only saying that because it's you she's cheating on me with? <pauses briefly and goes over that in his head to make sure it came out right, then nods when it makes sense> 
 Kat: Sasuke...I've been alone, not knowing, for all this time...
 Sas: I was here a couple of weeks ago!  I told you I didn't want to leave for good!
 Kat: ...and then you disappeared.  I saw you for five minutes, Sasuke, and then you were gone again.  What else am I supposed to think but that you're just...leading me on?
 Sas: Says the woman who admits she's a huge flirt...
[01:49] arynwyn: Kil: The points remains, Sasuke <nasty emphasis on his name>, that you are a royal ass who left this woman alone for months, wondering what the hell happened to you. You left her hanging and that's shit. <he turns to Kat> Do you want me to stay or no?
[01:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Sas: <before Kat can answer (which is just as well, since her mouth is open and nothing's coming out), he tackles Killian to the floor and starts throwing punches>
 ((You know...I wonder what happens when/if the sound of this altercation reaches the rest of the house...))
 Kat: Killian!
 ((nevermind....they'll just think it's exceptionally rowdy sex.))
[01:52] arynwyn: (( <LOL> )))
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sas: I am *not* Having sex with this guy!  Kat: Oh? Is there some other guy you'd prefer? Sas: <grrrrrrrrr>))
[01:55] arynwyn: Kil: <shoves him off and throws him against the wall, punching right back, the blanket falling to the floor. he lands a couple on Sas's face, one to the stomach and another to the side of the head. he grabs him again and throws him to the floor, pinning him down, leaning close and breathing in his face> What now, fucker? What are you going to do now? Knife me? I wouldn't put it past you. What the fuck were you thinking, leaving such a beautiful woman alone for MONTHS?! You weren't thinking, were you? You're a stupid fuck.
[01:56] arynwyn: (( Sorry for the language; Killian is PISSED. ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You think I give a damn about motherfuckin' language? ^_^))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Sweeet. <huggles> I knew I liked you. ;-)&nbsp;-))
[01:57] arynwyn: (( Bleh... my faces always screw up. ))
[01:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((for some reason it's putting an HTML space in there.  woogy))
[01:57] arynwyn: (( >.< ))
[02:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Sas: Right, she's so beautiful men just can't keep their hands off her, right? It's not her fault at all that she's fucking you, right?  And trust me, she's fucking you, not the other way around; I know.  But that's not her fault: she's beautiful so she doesn't need honor or morality, right? She just needs to be willing and able to do whatever you want.  But if she were ugly, or even plain, then would it be her fault for screwing other guys behind my back?
 Kat: <this litte tirade of his gets angry, and then angrier>
 Sas: Maybe I am a stupid fuck, for ever having loved her in the first place.  I should've known; women just use men for what they want and then dump them when they're done.  At least Kat fucked me first.  That makes her marginally nicer...<and yes, he is quietly, unobtrusively, pulling his dagger out>
[02:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That would be at least 3 posts in WoW....))
[02:06] arynwyn: Kil: <is too focused on what he's saying to notice him pulling out a weapon> You say you love her... what kind of man disappears for months, leaving the woman he LOVES alone?! You've got to expect her to get lonely, to wonder if you even do love her! And you're wrong. I'm fucking her. I talked her into it. <he punches him again, in the nose, blood splattering> But at least I'm here to do it. And maybe you've been used by women because you treat them like shit. You get what you dish out, dumbfuck. And you know what, even though she's fucking me, she still misses you. I have no fucking clue why. She wonders why you left her, if you love her. Tell her why, Sasuke. Tell her. <he turns Sas's face to look over at Kat>
[02:06] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[02:14] arynwyn: (( Heh, this is our first fight scene... kind of fun. ))
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Sas: <spits blood in Kat's general direction (not that any of it reaches her...or even the bed) and swings his arm up, burying the dagger in Killian's side>
 Kat: <gasps in shock, then casts a Seal on herself and Judgement on Sasuke so fast, he doesn't even have time to pull the dagger out>
 Sas: <lays there, stunned and gasping, unable to move through the pain>
 Kat: Killian? <jumps off the bed, not caring that she's naked (they've both seen it anyway) and goes to him>
 Sas: <through teeth gritted with pain> ...nice to...see...whose...side you...you're on...
[02:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((was looking up seals on WoWWiki since I don't remember the names for them all.  ^_^; I just remember "this is a great combo" and the buttons I have to push to do it))
[02:19] arynwyn: Kil: <cries out in pain and rolls off of Sas, pulling the dagger out of his side> YOU FUCK! <grits his teeth through the pain and, despite bleeding profusely, he crawls back over to Sasuke and puts the blade to his throat> Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. Here. Now. Or I will kill you. <he puts his free hand to his side to try and staunch the bleeding> 
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shares Count Chocula>))
[02:19] arynwyn: (( oooh, thanks! <munches> ))
[02:20] arynwyn: (( oops, used your gritting of the teeth. sorry. ))
[02:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: No! Killian, no...don't.  ((It's not mine, I don't have a copyright on it. Hell, I probably stole it from a book I read)) 
 Sas: <squeezes his eyes closed and focuses all his energy on decking Kil in the mouth>
 Kat: STOP THAT! <Seal of Justice - Judgement of Justice> No moving!  <kneels next to Killian, gently putting her hands over his and casting a healing spell on the stab wound>
[02:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh - had to log onto Kat for a few seconds to check something ^_^;; ))
[02:27] arynwyn: Kil: <barely manages not to decapitate Sas, instead he hits Sas as hard as he can in the groin, then turns to Kat> Either he leaves or I leave. If we both stay, one of us will die. <his green eyes are intense and angry>
[02:27] arynwyn: (( haha ))
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Sas: <cries out in pain and curls up into a fetal ball>
 Kat: He can't move right now...and punching him in the crotch isn't going to help him be mobile even after the Judgement wears off.  Please, just give me the dagger?
 ((by the way, what do most rogues do to their daggers? ^_^; ))
[02:30] arynwyn: (( Poison... what kind? Crippling? DoT? ))
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't know about rogue poisons; he's level 26.))
[02:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya's the highest rogue I've ever had))
[02:34] arynwyn: Kil: <reluctantly gives her the dagger, then struggles to stand, moving over to his pants and pulling them on, conveniently forgetting to mention his own dagger in strapped in the back of them. he knows rogues generally carry more than one dagger and he's not taking any chances. (( we'll say DoT )) he grimaces and falls to his knees suddently, groaning> Fucker... <he puts his hand to his side again, but there's no blood since Kat healed him, but there's something wrong... something eating away at his insides... he gasps> ...Katalya...
[02:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Killian...<goes to his side and looks at him, concerned>...what is it?  I'm sure I healed the whole wound...
 Sas: <chuckles weakly then groans again, trying to move as the Judgement wears off, though he's still in one hell of a hurt locker>
 Kat: <looks to the curled up rogue on the floor> What'd you do, Sasuke?
[02:37] arynwyn: Kil: <feels his chest tighten and he falls down to all-fours, wheezing> ...Katalya... <his vision starts to darken> ...I'm sorry... I'm... failing you... 
[02:40] arynwyn: (( At 26 I think he has crippling, which slows movement, the DoT one and one that has a chance to slow spell casting... so I went with the one most rogues use and the one that would be the most effective and interesting ))
[02:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: No...no...<casts another healing spell> Sasuke! What did you do?!
 Sas: <manages to gasp out> ...rogue trade secret...even when we lose...we win...
 Kat: <growls and starts running through every Holy (yet non-damaging) spell she knows. She hits "Purify" finally, nearing the end of the list>
 
 ((<nods> I was going to say, whatever the most common one is. :) You're so good. <huggles> Not that that's a surprise.))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Aww! ))
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Kat never freakin' Purifies...I forgot she had it.  It's why I had to log on ^_^;))
[02:42] arynwyn: Kil: <he collaspses moments before she purifies him, passing out. his skin is sallow, he's breaking out in a cold sweat, and he shaking. but when she hits purify, his complexion clears up and stops shaking, but he doesn't wake up>
[02:43] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I love Purify. I use it all the time. ))
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <looks him over nervously, brushing hair out of his face>
 Sas: ...so what's he do that's so much better than me?  Better in bed, I'm guessing?
 Kat: <glares at Sasuke> He's here for me.  That's a good start.  
 Sas: You wouldn't have wanted to know.  Not you, who so desires to be the brave and mighty champion of our race.
 Kat: <sighs> I don't want that.  I just want my death to mean something.  I want to help avenge those who died...and if I go down in the struggle, then at least I'll be able to take some of those Scourge bastards with me.
 Sas: You don't understand what's necessary sometimes, Katalya. ...ugh..<trying to stand>
 ((Question for you before I continue this....<smile>))
[02:48] arynwyn: (( Sure. ))
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm pondering Kat knocking him back down and screaming at him, then having Lore and Ash rush in at the commotion to haul the yet again immobile Sasuke out and probably pummel him some more....'course, that'll bring Ari and likely Hal into the picture as well...that okay or you want to keep this to Kat and Kil and Sas w/o mobilizing the entire household?))
[02:50] arynwyn: (( We can do them all. Would be fun. ^^ ))
[02:51] arynwyn: (( Oh... and do you think healed wounds leave scars? 'Cause I want Killian to have a scar from that... >.> ))
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hokay! :3 ))
 Kat: <growls> Stay Down! <knocks him flat with Judgement of Justice and throws a Judgement of Command down on him for good measure>
 Sas: <screams with pain>
 Kat: Just STAY DOWN.  Stay away from him!  You abandon me for months and you have the nerve to treat me like a whore for finally deciding you don't love me as much as you claim?!
 Lore: <pounding on the door> Kat? The hell's going on?
 Ash: <barely audible through the door> I don't think that's cutesy sex talk, Lore.
 Lore: <pops the door open a little> Don't throw anything hard at my head for...oh gods! <stepping in as he sees Killian naked on the ground and unconscious, Sasuke clawing at the floorboards in pain and Kat (also naked) seething with rage>
 Ash: <looking over Lore's shoulder> ...either Kat's kinkier than you told me or everything went to shit in here.
 ((I say go for it.  There are obviously battle scarred people in WoW, yet half the freaking classes can heal.  I'd say some wounds scar and some don't; wouldn't surprise me a poisoned dagger would leave a scar.))
[02:58] arynwyn: (( Mkay. And Kil put his pants on, by the way. ;-)&nbsp;-))
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh that's right))
[02:59] arynwyn: Kil: <finally starts to come to, groaning> ...the fuck?
 Ari: <peeks around the two men and screams when she sees Killian unconcious. she pushes past them and falls to her knees at his side> Killian! Killian!
 Hal: <tugs at Ash's sleeve> What's going on
[02:59] arynwyn: ?
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<waves the magical pants wand to put pants on Killian back in the post she wrote>  Lore: Thank gods, my eyes are no longer scarred...))
[03:00] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[03:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: I'm not really sure except that Kat's naked, Killian's half naked, and Kat's...er...ex?...maybe?...is on the floor in pain.
 Kat: I don't know how he got in here, but Sasuke blew a fuse.  He and Killian started fighting and then Sasuke got him in the side with that dagger of his.  Suddenly Killian's going pale, falling over, and passing out.  I think the Purify helped, finally...I didn't really know what was going on... <realizes she's the center of attention and grabs Killian's shirt to cover herself with, since it's close by on the floor>
 Lore: Hey, I can't blame Sasuke for being upset, but that's just low...
[03:06] arynwyn: Kil: <struggles to sit up and looks around blindly until his eyes focus> Katalya! Are you okay? <he looks over at Sas and his anger flares again. he makes like he's going to attack again>
 Ari: Killian, no! You're hurt! <she struggles to stop him, but strength isn't her forte. she's easily shoved off>
 Hal: <slips into the room and into a corner, watching the scene closely, ready to intervene if she thinks someone is going to die, but staying out of it otherwise>
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Stop, Killian!  You need to rest.  I'm fine...he's not.  Okay? Please?
 Lore: <steps over to Ash to converse quietly, then puts a hand on Ari's shoulder> C'mon, sexy.  We've got to have a talk with the guy.
[03:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((OOps disregard that for now - I was trying to put something in between Kat and Lore))
[03:11] arynwyn: (( Heh... my dad is an ER doc and he likes to share some of his bizarre stories... one he told me was a woman who came in with her husband, he was ill and my dad told her he had some STD. she said that's not possible since they had never consummated their marriage, even though they had been married TWENTY years. My dad was all. "Wow. I'm really sorry, but he's been sleeping with *someone*..." >.> ))
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Stop, Killian!  You need to rest.  I'm fine...he's not.  Okay? Please?
 Sas: <groans> ...I left...to do..my job.  My job is killing people, Katalya.  It's making them suffer and die.  I didn't want you to know...
 Ash: <cough> You're a rogue.  It's sort of...implied.
 Kat: I know what you do; I don't hold it against you.  Well...I didn't until now.
 Sas: I'm supposed to let him beat me up?  I'm supposed to let him go on fucking my girlfriend behind my back?
 Kat: <glares> ...Sasuke, you were supposed to be here with me, to be my boyfriend.  I've bent over backwards, every time you were upset, to soothe and comfort you, and you leave me with nothing, not even a lie, to hold onto.  I'm not bending over for you this time, Sasuke.
 Lore: Mental picture....<closes his eyes and shakes his head.  He steps over to Ash to converse quietly, then puts a hand on Ari's shoulder> C'mon, sexy.  Ash and I are gonna have a talk with the guy...<nodding to Sasuke>
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>  do you ever watch House?))
[03:15] arynwyn: (( No. Never seen it. ))
[03:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((in addition to the main medical case of the show, sometimes there are cases of people who've come into the hospital's free clinic.  Apparently these stories are based on actual doctor's stories.  My favorite is the woman who came in with some sort of vaginal problem: itching, weird substance.  She says her boyfriend doesn't like condoms and she's not on birth control so she switched to the jelly.  House says he's going to take a sample (meaning wiping a q-tip inside her) and she says, "Oh I brought one" and holds out a half-empty jar of STRAWBERRY jelly. <giggles>))
[03:17] arynwyn: Kil: <looks over at Kat and sighs, collapsing back down onto the floor, though he still looks pissed>
 Ari: <tries to shrug off Lore, wanting to stay with Killian, but she looks at Sas and then up at Lore, sighs, and stands. she hugs Lore very tightly, tears in her eyes, and then leaves the room>
 Hal: <whispers to Ash> I'm staying. I know all the rogue tricks. I'm not risking you getting hurt. 
[03:17] arynwyn: (( EW! >.< ))
[03:19] arynwyn: (( My dad was given a book of weird and strange, true ER stories... one was of a man who came in drunk off his ass, complaining about sometime stuck in the foreskin of his dick. they take a look and there's a monetary bill folded up and stuck in there. they pry it out and give the man the $20 bill... the man looks at the doc (a woman) and says "It was a fifty, bitch!" >.> ))
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <nods and whispers back> I'll convince Lore to let you stay....though I think all he's thinking of right now is tying him to a chair and beating him...<he goes over to help Lore pick up the immobile Sasuke>
 Lore: C'mon.  Aside from pissing my ex off, you've hurt my girlfriend's brother.  I'm contractually obligated to beat you within an inch of your life. <hoists Sas> Can't do it in here; enough blood on the floor as is...pain in the ass to clean up.
 Sas: <continues glaring at Killian as the guys haul him out>
 Kat: <leans down and kisses Kil quickly, brushing his hair away from his face again>...Killian?  Are you okay?  Do you need another healing spell?
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL> yeesh...))
[03:25] arynwyn: Kil: <watches the men go> Let me go with them... <he tries to stand, but he's too weak> I'm fine... I just need to beat the shit out of him... <tries to stand again and fails... again> Damn it! <he punches the floor>
 Hal: <steps over to Kat> You're okay? Are you going to stay here with Killian? <she looks him over> He doesn't look so good... 
[03:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat.
 on.
 head.))
[03:26] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[03:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <looks up at Hal> I'm not going anywhere....but could you help me get him on the bed? <looks back to Kil> You already beat him pretty good.  I'm sure they'll keep him around for a few hours yet...you've got time to rest up so you can really do some damage, hm? <takes careful hold of his arms>
[03:30] arynwyn: Hal: <nods and takes his legs, helping her hoiste him onto the bed. she nods at Kat (she seems different than they've ever seen her) then follows the men>
 Kil: <mutters about "embarrassing to be lifted by women onto a bed..". he waits until Hal disappears, then turns to Kat> ...I'm sorry... <he sighs and leans back against the pillows>
[03:30] arynwyn: *hoist
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I didn't realize you had anything to be sorry for...<kissing him gently>
 
 ((the boys are really just gonna beat on Sasuke until Lore feels satisfied he's done enough damage to make Kat and Ari happy.  If you have some evil roguish scheme cooked up, I can give you Sas))
[03:33] arynwyn: (( I don't. ^^ ))
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee. Just checking :) ))
[03:34] arynwyn: Kil: <kisses her back softly> I'm sorry about him... about beating the shit out of him... about passing out. I'm sorry I put you in this situation to begin with. 
[03:34] arynwyn: (( so, I'm assuming Kat & Sas are over? at least for our RP? =P ))
[03:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She'll want to talk to him...well, actually, no, she won't. ^_^; yeah they're done.))
[03:35] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: You can't apologize for him, and you passed out 'cause he poisoned you.  You didn't put me in this situation at all; I put myself here.
 
 (( oh and if Ari wants to come check up on her bro, ain't nothin' stoppin' her ))
[03:37] arynwyn: (( Oh, duh. >.< ))
[03:39] arynwyn: Kil: <shakes his head> I pursued you when I knew you were taken.
 Ari: <reappears in the doorway looking anxious> Killian? Are you alright?
 Kil: <looks over at her> Yeah, Ari, I'm okay. Katalya healed me up. I'm just weak from blood loss and the poison.
 Ari: <winces and nods. she doesn't enter the room, her eyes flitting back and forth between Kat and Kil for a moment, then she turns to go>
[03:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <looks at her> You can come in, Ari.  I know it reeks of sex and violence in here, but the door's open and I can crack a window. <weak smile> 
[03:42] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> No. I think I'll leave you two alone. <she disappears>
[03:42] arynwyn: Kil: <watches her go and sighs>
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sighs and thinks: there's a conversation we need to have later; then turns back to Kil> So you pursued me.  I could've turned you down.  I could've kept on running.  Hell, it's not like I even stopped and let you catch me: I seem to recall pulling you bodily into my room and then pushing you onto my bed.
[03:46] arynwyn: Kil: <shakes his head> We're going to have to agree to disagree. <he takes her hand and squeezes it, then closes his eyes. he's still rather pale and tired looking>
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <grins a little at him>...or something we'll talk about more later, Mr. "I'm So Sexy Any Woman I Go After Has No Chance But to Lust For Me Desperately." <she giggles and kisses his cheek> Get some rest.
[03:50] arynwyn: Kil: <opens his eyes and smiles weakly> Are you leaving? <he doesn't let go of her hand> Eh, nevermind... You probably want to go see about Dickhead. <looks away from her>
[03:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <shakes her head> I've seen enough blood today, thanks.  I just thought you'd need the rest.  You look so tired....<thinks, then lays down on the bed next to him and snuggles up with him> How about I take a nap with you, hm?
[03:54] arynwyn: Kil: <wraps his arms around her and leans in to kiss her hair> I'd like that. It's the only way I'd be able to rest. I'd be too worried about you otherwise. I wouldn't put it past him to hurt you.<he closes his eyes and breathes in her scent> 
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Don't think about him anymore, okay? <nuzzle> Just think about me and all the terribly naughty things you want to do to me as soon as you have the strength to again, hm? <light giggle as she kisses him>
[03:58] arynwyn: Kil: <chuckles and kisses her back> Only if you promise not to think about him either. Never shed another tear on his account. 
[04:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <does her best to look shocked and hurt> You're saying you really won't think dirty, lust-driven thoughts about me anymore otherwise?  Not ever ever again?  Even if I were naked and panting for you in your bed? <think: Must Keep Straight Face...>
[04:01] arynwyn: Kil: <grins> I didn't say that. I just didn't promise not to think about him. Even if I wanted to keep you from my mind, I wouldn't be able to... Fantasies of you dance in my head all day and night long. <he kisses her again>
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Ooo, sweet-talker. <smooch> I won't cry about him anymore, I promise.  <snuggles>  Get some rest and have really good dreams.  You can tell me all about them when you wake up, hmm?  By the way, this shirt of yours is really comfy...I may wear it more often...
[04:05] arynwyn: Kil: <smiles and cuddles her close> You can wear any of my shirts any time you want. It looks great on you. <he runs a hand up her thigh and up under the shirt and kisses her neck, before relaxing into the bed and drifting off>
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwwwwwwwwwww))
[04:06] arynwyn: (( What? ))
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: he's cute, all cuddled up against her and wanting to touch her skin and stuff.
[04:07] arynwyn: ^^
[04:07] arynwyn: mkay, so... what now?
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Can I keep him?  Pleeeeease?  He's so adorable!
 Me: What have I told you about keeping pets?
 Kat: But...but he followed me home!  I'll give him lots of attention and feed him and I'll clean up after him!!
 Me: Good, start with cleaning up the blood stains...
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Got an hour or two before the return of Mr. Sarah, yes? ^_^
[04:08] arynwyn: Kil: <puppy eyes> Oh! I wanna be her pet! I'll be good, I promise!
[04:09] arynwyn: Yep! <glee!>
[04:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <would share spiral mac but she's still making it>
[04:09] arynwyn: <shares brownies>
[04:09] arynwyn: I'm too excited to eat much more than that. >.>
[04:09] arynwyn: I think I'm going to go afk for a few minutes to put on my makeup.
[04:10] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[04:16] arynwyn: back
[04:19] Chaos Angel Sox: back w/ mac! spiral mac even :3
[04:19] arynwyn: woo!
[04:20] arynwyn: Oh, so... I have to throw this out there... If you're ever looking for skin care products or make-up ( and I mean quality stuff, not drug store crap ), I sell Mary Kay. :-)
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: <-- knows nothing about make-up. ^_^;
[04:21] arynwyn: Hehe, no worries. I don't know very much either. I just know that Mary Kay is the best there is. Best for your skin, best quality, etc. 
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: If I ever decide to buy any, I'll come to you first. ^_^
[04:21] arynwyn: Okies. ^^
[04:22] arynwyn: Can I ask what you use to wash your face?
[04:22] arynwyn: If anything.
[04:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Dove face cloths.
[04:22] arynwyn: Ah. Dry skin?
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: dry mostly, oily round my nose 
[04:24] arynwyn: <nod> Well, anyway, now you know. Tim just called... he just now landed so it'll be another few hours. <sig>
[04:24] arynwyn: *<sigh>
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: awwww <huggles>
[04:25] arynwyn: <huggles>
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <pulls Ash, Lore and Keth in for sexy shirtless dancing>
[04:25] arynwyn: ooooooh... <drool>
[04:26] arynwyn: So, more RPness?
[04:26] Chaos Angel Sox: <Lore dances with the most abandon, but Ash is the best at it ^_~>
[04:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure. ^_^ 
[04:26] arynwyn: Okies. Who? When? What? Any ideas?
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: there was whatever Damien was going to pull to make Xen fall more desperately in love with him, rather than just lust. :)
[04:27] arynwyn: okies.
[04:28] arynwyn: It'll probably be short though. <shrug> Some setup: Damien got tickets to a very fancy concert. Start with them dressing in their room?
[04:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure.  And hey it took us almost 9 hours to do "morning after" scenes.  Who knows how long this'll go?))
[04:29] arynwyn: <laugh> So true...
[04:30] arynwyn: But we did the Sasuke thing too.
[04:30] arynwyn: (( ))
[04:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <is walking around in her red lacy scanties trying to choose between a black slinky dress that shows off more cleavage or a black slinky dress that shows off more leg>
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((True this. ^_^; ))
[04:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the morning after scene with Lore and Ari took 1.5 hours; Kil & Kat's took 2.5...))
[04:33] arynwyn: Damien: <is buttoning his shirt> This one. <he points to the one that shows more leg> I like this one better. <he steps out of the room for a moment, then reappears, nothing changed except that it looks like there's something in his pocket>
[04:33] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Wow... ))
[04:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((they did all that talking about Sasuke and her dream though...))
[04:33] arynwyn: (( Oh, true. =P ))
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Very well...all the better for you to stroke my leg while we're at the concert, hm? <she smiles and slips into the dress, smoothing it down over her curves> So what's in your pocket, dearest?
[04:36] arynwyn: Damien: Nothing you should concern yourself with at the moment. <he smirks and looks her over> You look stunning, as usual. But... something is missing. <he circles her, studying her> Hm...
[04:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <watches him as he circles her, smirking> I know you're used to my wearing significantly less, but it tends to be frowned up on in society to go out wearing practically nothing.
[04:39] arynwyn: Damien: <chuckles> I would have to kill too many men if you went out in what I like to see you in. Anyone who laid eyes upon you would have to die... Ah, I know what it is. <he steps behind her and pulls out a small box from his pocket. he opens it and then drapes an elaborite diamond and pearl chocker around her neck. he steps around in front of her, watching her reaction> Much better.
[04:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Damien! <her fingers feeling out the choker..as she looks at it in her mirror> ...ohh, you do know how to spoil a woman...<she's entranced by it ((Ooohhh, shinies))>
[04:43] arynwyn: Damien: <smiles> Flowers and chocolates, we've gone to a play, and now a concert. Jewelry. What else could a woman's heart desire? <he steps close and wraps his arms around her, looking into her eyes> What more do you desire?
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: You sound like you're trying to buy me off, Damien. <she chuckles> I'm well versed in what that sounds like by now.  <she runs her hands down his back>  As for my desires, you've done nothing but fulfill them over and over again, dearest - filled needs I didn't even know I had.  <nuzzles his neck and bites at his skin a little, but not hard enough to draw blood> I can't think of anything else I want except to help you achieve your desire of being Chief Warlock of Silvermoon.  
 
 ((<coughbullshitcough>  X: yes, but if I tell him I want him to be so overcome with animal lust that he has to throw me down and take me instead of seducing me with his dark gaze then it's no fun.   Me: <blink> Specific much, are we?   X: Well...a woman has to have standards.))
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And thus Xenoliya turns into that one chick from Real Genius...))
[04:50] arynwyn: Damien: <pulls away and sighs> The first time you asked if I had done something wrong or if I wanted something, now you suggest I'm buying you off? <he shakes his head and picks up his jacket> I'll be waiting downstairs. <he moves toward the door, his head down, thoughful>
[04:51] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[04:53] arynwyn: *thoughtful
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <frowns> Damien dearest, did I say something wrong?  <walks over and smooths her hands over the back of his shoulders before pressing up against his back> I was just teasing you, husband mine; don't be angry. <thinks: I just want him content because that's what a good wife should want. An angry husband is no use to me...that's all>
[04:56] arynwyn: Damien: <shakes his head> It didn't sound as if you were teasing. And I grow tired of doing things for you and then being accused of this. <he turns to look at her> Do you really think I'm such a cunning and vile person? Do you think I don't care about you? Honestly, Xenoliya, do you think I don't care about you more than anyone else that walks this world? <studies her closely>
[04:56] arynwyn: *accused of things
[04:59] arynwyn: (( And thus another hour passes... ))
[04:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <blinks> Damien, I know you care.  I do everything in my power to ensure your total happiness, in bed and out. <strokes his neck and shoulder with one hand as she smiles darkly at him> ...and I happen to find cunning a turn-on.
[04:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggleses>))
[05:00] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[05:00] arynwyn: Damien: <throws his hands up> Everything is about sex. I give up. I'll be in my study. <he storms out>
[05:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <looks confused and follows him, able to take nice long strides in a skirt slit so high up> And what's wrong with sex, pray tell, dearest? <she asks icily, not sure she wants to hear the answer and already raising her defenses>
[05:03] arynwyn: Damien: <quietly> Nothing. <he steps into his study and pours himself a shot of something strong> It would just be nice if I felt that things were deeper than that. <drinks it all in a gulp> Nevermind. Forget it. Go finish getting ready.
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <not moving> Do I not give you adoring looks, sit on your lap, fawn over your plans?  Do I not act in all ways as I should towards you: supportive and available for you?  If I'm not then, please, tell me what I'm doing wrong.  It's not like I've been married before.
[05:08] arynwyn: Damien: <turns to look at her, unable to decide if he should yell at her, show how angry and isolated he feels or if he should gather her into his arms, kiss her and tell her what he's been thinking the past few weeks: that he loves her. he settles for saying quietly> You're not doing anything wrong. I'm sorry. I'm being stupid. <he turns away from her and sits at his desk, his head falling into his hands> Just forget I said anything.
[05:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <goes over and puts an arm around his shoulders> Are you feeling okay then?  Want some water? Some soup? A quick handjob to release tension before I put my gloves on? ((oh I should find those two sexy losers strips for you...<giggles>))
[05:10] arynwyn: (( ?? ))
[05:11] arynwyn: Damien: I'm fine. Thank you. <he doesn't really sound fine> You should get ready, if you still want to go.  The concert will be starting soon. <he sighs> 
[05:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: You don't sound like you want to go, and I can't go alone.  Who knows what would happen to me, left to fend for myself, hm? <faint smirk, but it fades when he doesn't respond> ...Damien, I'm not going without you.  Really.
[05:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Okay this wasn't one of the ones I was looking for, but damn is it hilarious: (Link: http://sexylosers.com/230.html)(Link: http://sexylosers.com/230.html)http://sexylosers.com/230.html  These are adult webcomics btw >.> ))
[05:14] arynwyn: Damien: I never said I wouldn't go, Xenoliya. I have two tickets and I will go, if you wish to go. <he stands and pours himself another shot, taking it quickly> 
[05:14] arynwyn: (( <LOL> That's AWESOME. ))
[05:15] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://sexylosers.com/174.html)(Link: http://sexylosers.com/174.html)http://sexylosers.com/174.html , then (Link: http://sexylosers.com/179.html)(Link: http://sexylosers.com/179.html)http://sexylosers.com/179.html ))
[05:17] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Nice. ))
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <slides her arms around him from behind> I don't want to.  I want to stay here and make sure you're happy.
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> "That sounds like depression: I have a new therapy for that..." <snicker>  There was actually a third one in that gag series if I can find it...))
[05:18] arynwyn: Damien: <turns around and wraps his arms around her tightly, burying his face in her hair> Xenilya, I... <he sighs again> Nevermind. 
[05:18] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((  (Link: http://sexylosers.com/196.html)(Link: http://sexylosers.com/196.html)http://sexylosers.com/196.html  there it is ))
[05:19] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: What? Tell me what you want, dearest, and if it's within my power, it's yours...<holding him, wondering what's wrong with him>
[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: (( It's the look on the patient's face in the last panel...))
[05:20] arynwyn: Damien: <gets angry with himself as he feels tears well up in his eyes> It's nothing. It's stupid. I'm just being stupid. A fool. <he nuzzles deeping into her hair>
[05:20] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Yeah. ))
[05:22] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Sex Tricks! I'd forgotten about this storyline!  (Link: http://sexylosers.com/051.html)(Link: http://sexylosers.com/051.html)http://sexylosers.com/051.html  the first and, despite being grayscale and older art, still the best of that series...))
[05:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll stop with the Sexy Losers strips now, really ^_^;;))
[05:23] arynwyn: (( <giggles> S'fine. These are great. ))
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Damien, I wouldn't marry a fool....<pause> Well, actually, I probably would have...but I didn't.  I married you, and I have not a moment's regret in that decision.
[05:24] arynwyn: Damien: But there's something you don't know... <he pulls away finally, turning away from her> And when you find out, when I tell you, you will say I am a fool.
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sighs and ponders> ....so you did something you feel foolish about.  I won't divorce you for it...unless you're cheating on me.  We can fix it maybe, hmm?  Money and power fix so many problems....
[05:29] arynwyn: Damien: <shakes his head> No, I haven't done anything. Nor will I. It's nothing like that. <think: Just say it. Stop this now and just say it. Grow a spine!; he turns back around to face her, taking her hands in his and looking into her eyes> Xenoliya... I've fallen in love with you. I want nothing more than to make you happy. Even my goal of becoming Chief Warlock comes second to that. I love you. I may be a fool, but I do. 
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <blink blink blink> ...you... <looks into his eyes and swallows; it feels like her heart's in her throat, blocking off her air; she can hear it pound>  ...I thought you said love was foolish, idiotic, a weakness to be exploited? <think: You said that, didn't you?  You agreed with me when I said it, you said the same...by all the hells, how is it I can blow off dozens of other men falling to their knees and swearing their love for me, but Damien says it and suddenly I start feeling like someone sucked all the air out of my chest?>
[05:35] arynwyn: Damien: <nods> I said that, yes. And maybe it is. But at this point, I just don't care. Call me a fool, an idiot, go ahead. <he looks away> I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said anything. <sigh>
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: You love me?  You love me enough to say it to me, even though you know what I've said about it?
[05:39] arynwyn: Damien: Yes, Xenoliya. I love you. I would die for you and find it a worthy death. I would do anything for you, everything. I'm *trying* to do everything for you... That is why I got so upset when you accused me of things, when all I was trying to do was show you I love you. <shakes his head> It's taken me a long time to realize and admit this to myself, and even longer to work up the courage to say it aloud. 
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: ...Damien...<snuggles in against him seductively (because, really, she can't do it any other way)> I don't know what to say except that you're everything I ever wanted in a husband and more.  You do make me happy, and not just intimately.  Honestly you do.  I only question it because it's what I'm used to: lies, backstabbing, ulterior motives, fighting for influence with money, sex and power...  that's the way a large portion of our circle operates.  It's what I've come to expect.  But you keep either surpassing or defying my expectations.
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I think Lore has a truth potion, Damien...<giggles> if you're tired of waiting to get it out of her...))
[05:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:49] arynwyn: Damien: <holds her close to him tightly, shaking a little> I would never use you or betray you. Ever. I just love being near you and spending time with you. I love you. Gods, I do. I wish I could prove it to you, prove that the thing I want the most in this world is for you to be utterly blissful in every way. 
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: ...I believe you, dearest.  You don't have to prove anything to me.  And I've never been so happy as I am being married to you. <pats him on the back reassuringly, part of her thinking: when did I turn into your mother?; another part thinking: if we're going to miss the concert, can we at least have sex?; and all the rest of her thinking: He loves me He loves me He loves me He loves me He loves me...>
[05:55] arynwyn: Damien: <nods, thinking: I shouldn't have said anything. She doesn't love me. I'm just a fool.> Well... I'm sorry I ruined the evening. I'll tell a servant that we'll dine in our rooms. <he pulls away and heads to the door, clenching his jaw>
[05:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sighs internally and tells herself that lying is part of a wife's duty> ...whatever you want, dearest love.
 
 ((You know, I'm a little amused that you consider lying to yourself to be part of a wife's duty. 'Cause really, "lying" by telling a truth you just won't face isn't really anything else...  X: <flips her creator the bird and slinks off>))
[06:00] arynwyn: Damien: <mutters something about "what I want" and steps out of the room. a few minutes later he comes back in and pours himself another drink> Want some? <he holds up the bottle>
[06:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <thinks: mental note: the next time we bathe together, scrub out his ears really well> That would be lovely.  Damien...<sidling up to him> I...I know it was hard for you to say you love me, and I didn't react as you might have hoped but that's only because I was so very surprised....I thought it was a dream I was going to wake up from...not that I wanted to.  <she puts a hand on his arm>
[06:05] arynwyn: Damien: <pours her a glass and hands it to her, pouring himself a fourth> It's not a dream. Perhaps a nightmare for me, but not a dream. <downs the drink> You know, I'm not even hungry. Dinner will be in our room if you want to eat, but I'm going to pass. <he tugs off his jacket and tie as the alcohol hits him, warming him>
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <sighs and tries not to show her utter frustration>...Damien...I'm trying to say this.  It was hard for you, I thought it'd be easier for me once you'd said it, but now...well, I'm trying to say that I...I....<think: two more words.  Come on, how hard can this be?>
[06:09] arynwyn: Damien: <think: Wait, what?; he blinks and turns to look at her, just staring at her, waiting for her to say whatever it is she's going to say>
[06:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <think: I have said this lie to men before! What is so difficult about it now?!; she drinks the alcohol he gave her>I...Iloveyou. <she says all at once. She chooses to believe the heat she feels in her face is the alcohol, because of course she couldn't be blushing. Think: There, I said it.  Be happy and content with me damnit.  The things I do to keep a husband, I swear...>
[06:13] arynwyn: Damien: <blinks a couple of times> Do you? Or are you just saying it? 
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I forgot: I have italics here))
[06:15] arynwyn: (( Hehe, no worries. I've been too lazy to use them... ))
[06:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <think: Yeah because just saying it is so easy...> Damien, I mean it.  I just...had to work my way up to it.  <looks at him adoringly, which she tells herself is just her good acting and not at all real>  And I mean everything else I said too, about how happy you make me, and what a perfect husband you are for me.  I guess I just didn't realize it all until you confessed to me, dearest love.
[06:20] arynwyn: Damien: <steps over to her quickly, pulling her into his arms and kissing her deeply and passionately, crushing her to him> You don't think I'm a fool?
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: If you are, then I am too.  And I'm not a fool, am I? <smile>
[06:23] arynwyn: Damien: No, you're not a fool. You are the most beautiful, amazing, intelligent person alive. <he kisses her again, hard, his hands sliding down her body and he thinks: Now. I need her now.; he backs her toward the couch and begins tugging on the dress, ripping it in places but not caring, finally pulling it off her body and tossing it aside>
[06:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <blinks at the sudden mood change and kisses him back, holding him to her; when the dress rips, she shrieks> My dress!...<watches helplessly as he pulls it off and tosses it carelessly aside, though it doesn't make her let go of him>
[06:28] arynwyn: Damien: I will buy you a new dress, prettier than that one... <as he kisses her neck as he unbuttons his shirt and tosses it down with the dress. he runs his hands up her body and kisses her deeply, wrapping her legs around his body>
[06:30] arynwyn: (( bleh, a lot of that didn't quite make perfect sense... I'm tired. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. >.< ))
[06:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: Oh! <as he pulls her legs around him> ...impatient, are we, dearest love? <saying that is getting easier; she almost doesn't have to think about it; she runs her hands down to the waistband of his pants and toys with taking them off, but is deliberately moving slowly and "accidentally" brushing against certain parts of him as she "fumbles" doing something she's done dozens of times>
[06:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O too excited? ^_^ ))
[06:31] arynwyn: (( <nod> Though I'm already doing stuff wrong. <sigh> ))
[06:32] arynwyn: (( Not sure I'm up for another sex scene. Want to switch or are you tired? ))
[06:33] Chaos Angel Sox: (( already doing stuff wrong?  ))
[06:33] Chaos Angel Sox: What are you doing wrong?
[06:33] Chaos Angel Sox: I don't see anything
[06:34] arynwyn: <sigh> He told me to take a shower today, but I didn't. I wanted to take a shower with him tonight when he got home. But he just called and told me to go ahead and take a shower because he wants to take a shower alone when he gets here. I said no, because it's dark and I'm creeped out to take a shower home alone during the day. So he did his huffy "Yeah, fine." thing... <sigh>
[06:34] arynwyn: Bleh... too many sighs now.
[06:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Awww <hugs> I'm sorry, sweetie.  Though I think it's kind of odd that he "tells" you to shower.  >.>  Though maybe he just wants to shower alone so he can come out all sparkly and clean and groomed and be sort of like a nice surprise for you?  Not that it's a surprise he'd be clean....err...I'm not saying this right...
[06:36] arynwyn: Heh, I understand. I dunno. Usually he likes showering together, it's usually me saying no. <shrug> Whatever. Doesn't matter. <hugs>
[06:38] Chaos Angel Sox: You'll still have a hubby there to huggle, right? And can sleep in your bed again? And with him and all <grin nudge wink>
[06:38] arynwyn: Yep. though at this point I'm too tired for sex, and I'm sure he'll be too tired too. and this week is my period. great timing. ~_~
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: You'll just have to pounce him when your period's over. :3
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: "And all of a sudden, Sarah Anderson disappeared from the Internet for a week straight...."
[06:39] arynwyn: Hehe, guess so. hopefully it won't start until Weds or Thurs though.
[06:39] arynwyn: <giggle>
[06:40] Chaos Angel Sox: but I should try and get some sleep.  I have class today and I have to go to office hours afterwards to try and figure my lab out. >_o
[06:40] arynwyn: <nod> Alright. <huggles> 
[06:41] arynwyn: Not sure if I'll be on tomorrow (er, today)... If Tim has to work Tues, I'll be on tomorrow night... like 4 am your time (ish).
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs> So long as you're being happy, it's all good.  ^_^ 
[06:42] arynwyn: I hope so.
[06:42] arynwyn: Should I check WoW or here?
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: I hope so too.  We can't be happy *all* the time - it's just not possible.  But we can try and be happy as much as is possible.
 
 Umm, probably WoW ^_^; but if I'm not on there for some reason, check AIM.  Odds are good I'll be trying to get some leveling done though.
[06:43] arynwyn: Mkay. Email me if you need anything. 
[06:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Like Mary Kay products? ^_~
[06:45] arynwyn: Hehe, yeah. Do you want my website? You can browse products and order, but if you don't know what you're looking for the site isn't too helpful. That's what I'm for. 
[06:46] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> email it to me. :) 
 
 I shall try to sleep and not stay up all night plotting RP evilness....but I make no promises. >.>  A lot of times just laying in bed in the dark is when I get my best ideas, 'cause it's quiet and I can think.  So when I'm really revving on characters or story ideas, I lose a lot of sleep ^_^;
[06:46] arynwyn: <laugh> Ditto. But yeah, I may lay down too, until Tim calls.
[06:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Have fun, sweetie. :D  But don't let your hubby boss you around too much.  <huggles> You're a good and smart person.
[06:48] arynwyn: <huggles> Thanks. Have a good day tomorrow.
[06:48] arynwyn: Happy dreams and good sleepings!
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: You too! :D

[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: heh, sowwy.  I passed out.
[07:33] arynwyn: S'ok. I figured as much.
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: I replied to your comment and to your post :)
[07:34] arynwyn: Just reading them. And he's not clueless about the single thing... he just wants to talk to her instead of write about it. =P
[07:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooooooo 
[07:35] arynwyn: What's your schedule for tomorrow? Er...today?
[07:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Work from 5pm - 12:30ish (EST) and that's it.

[07:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Yep yep ^_^
[07:38] arynwyn: mkay. I'll be on tomorrow evening/night sometime... depends on what Tim wants to do and when he goes to bed. As for now... I'd love to stay and RP, but I think I'm going to go ahead and sleep... Will you be on for a while if I can't?

[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: I just brought the breadsticks over to the compy
[01:10] arynwyn: I are good like that. =P
[01:10] arynwyn: Nice.
[01:10] arynwyn: Mmmm....tasty?
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course :3
[01:10] arynwyn: Yay!

[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: did you check LJ today? :)
[01:11] arynwyn: checking now =P
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: hee hee hee
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: oh! and I gave Cyla a surname in that post.  In fact it's the only reason I listed everyone's full names >.>
[01:15] arynwyn: Oh! I didn't even notice. Lemme scroll back up...
[01:15] arynwyn: oooooooh! I like it! :-D
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh I forgot about it until just now, or else I'd've mentioned it in the blurb ^_^; I threw some letters in there and then went back to trying to find a song for her.
[01:17] arynwyn: Hehe, nice. I don't know many of the songs though, and I can't listen to them at the moment. Tim and I are going to watch some South Park eps for a bit I think. 
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: cool cool :) you've got a week to snag 'em and then you have forever to listen to 'em ^_^
[01:17] arynwyn: Okies. I'll download them either later tonight or tomorrow.
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> quality time with Mr. Sarah first :)
[01:18] arynwyn: Tim doesn't have to be in until 8:30 tomorrow so he's not crashing until about one I think... I just took a long nap so I'm not sure I'll be going to bed with him. Are you staying on AIM or will you be logging to play WoW?
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Not sure.  I'll either log on WoW or go take a nap after I stuff myself with breadsticks and pizza sauce.
[01:20] arynwyn: Okies. Uhm... I'll stick on AIM here for a bit, would you mind sending me a message to let me know if you're going to go nap? >.>
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: that's cool.
[01:20] arynwyn: thanks :-)
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: you're welcome 
[01:20] arynwyn: mkay, gunna watch South Park then.
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: have fun!
[01:20] arynwyn: Have good sleepings, if you decide to!
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: kk ^_^
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: but only 'cause you said to
[01:21] arynwyn: <laugh> Yay!
[01:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ...I get off and on sleepy so I'ma try to nap; I'll only be gone a few hours, prolly wake up around 4 or 5 my time (it's quarter till 2 now - and I almost wrote "quart till 2" >_<).  Um...AM.

[05:05] Chaos Angel Sox: It was composed by Yoko Kanno; everything she touches musically turns to gold 
[05:05] arynwyn: nice!
[05:06] arynwyn: Do you want to get on WoW or are you staying on here? 'Cause I wanna RP if you're up for it (in withdrawl again >.> ).

[05:09] arynwyn: *Would
[05:10] Chaos Angel Sox: so we'll just stay here then.  I'm feeling lazy 
[05:10] Chaos Angel Sox: esp. since I've got to go in to campus early today
[05:10] arynwyn: Okies. Lemme know when you're ready to start. Dunno if you want chocolately cereals or what... Ah, okay. What time? How long do you have?
[05:12] Chaos Angel Sox: I have hours yet.  the head AI has office hours going noon -2 so I won't have to leave until...11ish?  which is 6 hours from now.
[05:12] arynwyn: Mkay. Awesome.

[05:13] arynwyn: Who d'you wanna start with? Only things I really wanna do is the Kil/Kat talk and Gregorin showing up...

[05:14] arynwyn: Yes huh! Tim'd tease me. In a good way, but teasing nonetheless!
[05:15] Chaos Angel Sox: we can start with the Ks :) I wanna know what he's going to say about the newly single comment.  
 
 And ooooo creepy lech guy...

[05:15] arynwyn: <giggle>
[05:16] arynwyn: Okay... hm... Kil's gotta run an errand. >.> When should he do that? Or d'you want to just assume there was an opportunity and he took it?
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: We can go for the latter choice. how much time has passed since last we left them?
[05:17] arynwyn: uhm... let's say it's that evening?
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure sure. ^_^
[05:18] arynwyn: Okies. Uhm... why don't you post what Kat's doing for when Kil shows back up?
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm tink tink tink...
[05:18] arynwyn: <giggle>
[05:19] arynwyn: (( oooooo.... methinks I like this "Cheap and Evil Girl" song... Reminds me of Alanis Morsette and Natalie Imbruglia. ))
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <is wearing her usual button down shirt in her usual fairly unbuttoned fashion, but she's paired it with a skirt that stops just above her knees.  She's in the empty common room, looking at the diary.  She doesn't have anything to write with; she's just re-reading parts of it>
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((blargh for thinking of stuff. ^_^;  And yeah, Matt burned me that album (Cheap and Evil Girl) mostly for that song and the one called "David Duchovny" - which pretty much nails what I was like my senior year of high school...))
[05:24] arynwyn: Kil: <sticks his head in the room and looks around. he spots her and smiles, then enters the room with something large behind his back> Hey sexy... What are you upto? <he leans in and kisses her cheek>
[05:25] arynwyn: (( Nice! I should try and find some of her stuff... Bree Sharp, I mean. I really like her style of music. And I secretly love Celine Dion too. >.> ))
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <smiles up at him from her seat> Just reading your reply.  Glad to see you didn't collapse while out and about...you scared us for a bit there, buster. <pokes him in the side teasingly> What with that whole 'almost dying' thing...
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Celine Dion has a really nice voice.  Some of her songs bug me, but some I like. ^_^))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Matt played that song for me too, but that's 'cause he's actually an Andrea Boccelli fan, which you wouldn't think syncs up with a man whose other interests are RPGs and boobs, but...<shrug>))
[05:27] arynwyn: Kil: <shrugs, grinning> All in a day's work... <he pulls around the package from behind him and hands it to her. it's long and thin and wrapped up in a blank packing paper, tied around the middle with twine> This is for you. <he smiles and pulls up a chair to sit next to her> 
[05:28] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( <giggles> I know this Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train song. ))

[07:19] *** arynwyn is trying to send you "AIT 13F 006.jpg".
[07:19] arynwyn: (( I wonder if I'm doing something wrong? >.< ))
[07:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((weirdness.  Try sending it with yousendit then? ^_^;; ))
[07:20] arynwyn: (( Uhm... dunno how, but lemme look... ))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((just go to yousendit.com, put in my email, your email and then browse for the file and hit Send it!))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It'll email directly to me.))
[07:21] arynwyn: (( why can't I just email it through hotmail? ))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Or that ^_^))
[07:21] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk ))
[07:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <ponders just telling Gregorin he's Arianna's fiance, but decides that should be her decision> Syloren Dawnfury.  My father is Veritas.  
 
 ((The Dawnfuries aren't LIKE OMG TEH BEST! but they're a well-established family with a long history of loyalty to the throne.  Gor'd know the name, and most people would think well of it; what he thinks of a family that's almost entirely Hunters, I have no idea...))
[07:25] arynwyn: (( Okies.... sent two pics. The first, he's the one on the left, really the only one looking at the camera. the second, he's the third from the left, the darkest of the bunch. ))
[07:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooo! <waves at Tim>))
[07:27] arynwyn: Gor: <arches a brow> Oh I see. <smirks> I'm sure your father is... <glances around> so proud you've opened a shop here. 
 Ari: <finally reappears with a cup of tea. she hands it to Gor with her head down> My Lord, as you requested. 
 Gor: Ah, finally. <takes the tea and sips it, making a face at the taste> Ah, well. Nothing like home, but what can one expect from <glances at Lore and the shop> a place like this. 
 Ari: <swallows and takes a deep breath> My Lord, what brings you to the city? 
[07:27] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[07:27] arynwyn: (( He looks better with longer hair, like in high school, but... <shrug> ))
[07:29] arynwyn: Gor: <sets the tea down on a counter> We need to talk, Arianna. You ran off and left our engagement arrangements up in the air. 
[07:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <frowns at Ari's subservient behavior and swallows his annoyance at the insults to his shop.  As he addresses his girlfriend, he keeps his voice level and light, almost teasing> Ari, I know you wrote your parents; did you forget to write Lord Gregorin? <sounds like he should be tacking "silly girl" on to the end of it fondly, and he almost does>
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: <sends piccies back>
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ))
[07:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't remember what we were all so amused about in the Xmas picture))
[07:34] arynwyn: Gor: <waves a hand> Oh, I've been told of your little... thing. <almost spits the word> But come now, Arianna. I know you're not a stupid girl. Marrying a man like this would be utterly ridiculous. And an embarrassment to your parents. Besides... <he leans in close to her> I have a feeling you two aren't really engaged... You've hardly been in the city two weeks. <he smirks and runs his eyes down her body lecherously>
 Ari: <shivers and pulls away> I... You don't... <she glances up at Lore with a pleading look>
[07:35] arynwyn: (( Aww! Cute kitty! And which one is you in the first pic? ))
[07:36] arynwyn: (( Oh, it'd help if I read... >.> ))
[07:36] arynwyn: (( <waves at Jen> :-D ))
[07:37] arynwyn: (( I'll send you one of me too... but all I have are wedding pics. >.< ))
[07:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <arches an eyebrow at "a man like this"> Sometimes these things happen quickly, Lord.  Now I'm going to have to insist you leave.  Barging into my shop and insulting me under my own roof...I'd think a nobleman of such...obvious quality would have better manners. <he puts himself between Arianna and Gregorin in not so subtle a manner>
[07:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So? :D ))
[07:37] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[07:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I wanna see pretty wedding dress!!!))
[07:38] arynwyn: Gor: <sneers at Lore> You don't know who you're dealing with. Standing between me and my prize will cost you. If you were smart, which you are proving not to be, you would step aside and leave her to me. But we can do this the hard way, if you wish...
[07:40] arynwyn: (( Uhm, well... the dress shows off one of my <cough> assets pretty well... and it's especially bad in this pic... >.> ))
[07:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: She's not your "prize"...and you're now officially trespassing, sir.  So would you rather walk out like the gentleman you claim to be or shall I have you ignominiously tossed out on your ass?
[07:41] arynwyn: Gor: <still sneering, he turns to go, but stops just short of the door, snapping his fingers> Let me out, you fool! You locked the door! <taps his foot impatiently>
[07:41] arynwyn: (( sent. >.> ))
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Oh? You can't figure out how to unlock a door from the inside?  Let me demonstrate.  <goes over, unlocks the door and yanks it open> I guess when you have servants do *everything* for you, simple tasks become harder.
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Argh.  how'd he lose color? <whaps Trill>))
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore: I'm so mad, I lost my font color! Grrrr!))
[07:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You aren't Lame!! Stop that! <whaps with teddy bear>))
[07:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay I am stealing that tiara/veil.  <steals it and runs off>))
[07:44] arynwyn: Gor: <turns to Ari as he steps out> If you care about this man, then come to your senses, since he seems to possess none to come to. And you know I can ruin everything for him... and you. And your parents. <he slips out into the night>
 Ari: <watches him go, just kind of staring at the spot where he disappears, then turns and runs into the guild hall, crying>
[07:44] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[07:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<waves at Sarah from safe distance with tiara> :) Pretty dress!! :D ))
[07:44] arynwyn: (( Now you know what I look like... >.< ))
[07:45] arynwyn: (( <laughs> Keep it. Don't think I'll be needing it again... But you have to invite me to your wedding!! :P ))
[07:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Your hair's so pretty too...but you have the glowing demon eyes! I have proof of your evil now!!! o_O ))
[07:45] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[07:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> whenever that might be.))
[07:46] arynwyn: (( It was so cool... I made an appt to get my hair done at my fav salon, and when I went in, it was a friend from high school! She was getting married a few months after me too! ))
[07:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <resists the urge to grab his gun; he shuts the door hard, barely not slamming it, and locks it behind him, before taking off after Ari; he pushes through the door into the commons> Ari?
[07:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nifty!!! :D ))
[07:47] arynwyn: Ari: <is running up the stairs to her room, slamming the door and throwing herself on her bed to cry>
[07:49] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Tonight's ep of Cowboy Bebop is so funny... Somehow they got into some shrooms... and the main char ( I dunno names on this show yet ) seems to be walking up stairs that go on forever... but when the kid looks at him (and we see what he's really doing) he's on some steps, just stepping on the same stair over and over... <giggles> ))
[07:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <follows quickly, disregarding protocols of "knocking" as he enters her room, shutting the door a bit more quietly.  He goes over to sit next to her on the bed and rubs her back soothingly>
[07:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I love that ep. ^_^))
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((let me see if I can find a cool AMV for you...I have tons but some of the best are saved to the hard drive...))
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh! I have the one for the Toys in the Attic ep you liked! :D ))
[07:50] arynwyn: Ari: <sobbing> He's right, Lore... he can ruin everything for everyone I care about... and he would too! He'll... he'll ruin your shop... and then you'll have nothing!... I should just... just do what he wants... 
[07:50] arynwyn: (( Woo! ))
[07:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: No, no you shouldn't.  We'll think of something.  I can talk to my parents....or...or something.  We'll find a way to keep you away from him. 
[07:53] arynwyn: Ari: <pulls herself up, away from her pillow, and wraps her arms around Lore's neck, pulling him close and sobbing against him> Don't... don't let him... take me... please... please...
[07:55] *** arynwyn has received Cowboy Bebop - Livin in the Fridge.mpeg.
[07:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <holds her, still rubbing her back and letting her cry> I won't.  I promise.  <nuzzles her hair>  Shhh...I won't let him.
[07:57] arynwyn: Ari: <finally calms a little> And... and if he does something horrible... What if you lose your shop? It will be my fault and you'll hate me... <begins to cry again, but quietly this time>
[07:57] arynwyn: (( oooo, thanks! ))
[07:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: That'll be Lord High and Mighty's fault, not yours.  And I'm not losing my shop without a hell of a fight. 
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh, when you want your mind broken, I'll send you this Neon Genesis Evangelion one...))
[07:58] arynwyn: (( so... I'm confused... Livin' in the Fridge is the ep I saw, but they called it Toys in the Attic... >.> ))
[07:58] arynwyn: (( Sure! ))
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The title of the ep is "Toys in the Attic" this is a music video for the Weird Al song "Livin in the Fridge" using footage from that ep))
[07:59] arynwyn: Ari: <wipes at her tears> I will help you fight. I just... don't know how to get away from him... I thought if he found out I was engaged he'd give up... but... <looks up at him, her eyes shiny with tears> What should we do?
[07:59] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay. ))
[08:00] arynwyn: (( You've seen the commercials for Eternal Sonata, yes? ))
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs> I don't know.  First thing in the morning though, we're going on a little...picnic.  Someone you need to meet who might be of some help to us.  ...though we could go tonight if you wanted.  Just looks kind of odd...
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm...not sure.))
[08:01] arynwyn: (( Oh. RPG for the xbox 360. It's about Chopin. VERY fun. Tim got it for me yesterday. ))
[08:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, I do remember you saying you were playing it :D ))
[08:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I think that's all I know about it tho))
[08:02] arynwyn: Ari: Tomorrow might be better... <she snuggles against him> I'm so tired tonight... I've been baking all day, and now this... 
[08:03] arynwyn: (( It's all musical stuffs. Like... the main chars are Chopin, Polka, Alegretto, Beat, Viola... etc. :-D ))
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh>))
[08:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods> You want me to stay here?  Not for...the usual festivities, just...
[08:04] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles a little> Yeah, I do...
[08:05] arynwyn: (( FF to whatever this "picnic" is? ))
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure.))
[08:05] arynwyn: (( Okies. Wanna set the scene? ))
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((you got it ^_^))
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <Lore leads the two of them out into Eversong the next morning, Ari on one arm and a picnic basket and blanket on the other.  Lore is actually wearing his hunter's gear, including his shotgun, for a change> Hm, I think may need to cut back on your sweets...this stuff seems a little tight.  's been a while since I had to wear anything other than normal clothing. <he finds a shady spot under a tree not far from Stillwhisper Pond and spreads the blanket out for her>
[08:10] arynwyn: Ari: <grins and helps him with the blanket> I think you're as sexy as always. <she sits down and smooths out her dress, glancing over her shoulder apprehensively, as if she expected Gregorin to suddenly appear>
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sending the brain-breaky one ^_^ ))
[08:10] arynwyn: (( woo! ))
[08:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks around as if he expects the same, pulls his shotgun out of its sling on his back, then sits next to her on the blanket, rests the gun next to him, and starts pulling food out.  It's an assortment of take out food, but quite a lot of it is meat and fish.  And I do mean *a lot* - there's more food here than two people could hope to eat at one sitting.  He also uncorks a bottle of wine and offers some to her>
[08:13] arynwyn: Ari: <lets him pour her a glass as she eyes the food. she takes a sip and asks> Uhm... that's a lot of food, Lore... I mean, I know you have a healthy appetite, but if you eat all of that... then maybe you need to see a doctor. <another sip>
[08:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <chuckles> If I eat all of this, I definitely wouldn't fit into my old gear.  I'm just an essentially lazy person, at heart. <picks up one of the rare non-meat items and starts munching, then pours himself some wine and drinks> Help yourself to whatever you want, just...don't move too much. <drink>
[08:15] arynwyn: (( <taps the comp screen in hopes it'll make her download go faster> 
[08:15] arynwyn: ))
[08:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, sorry.))
[08:15] arynwyn: (( Not your fault! ))
[08:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ohhh! The Reel Big Fish version of "Hungry Like the Wolf"!! I should've given this to Lore.....oh well...))
[08:16] arynwyn: Ari: <pokes through the food and picks something out> Uhm... don't move too much? Are we being watched? Or... Who are we meeting? <nibbles on her food>
[08:16] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: He'll show up eventually.  He likes to pretend like we're not friends. <munches and quietly looks around>
 
 ((yeah I'll send you the lupin video next, just for the song....))
[08:18] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[08:19] arynwyn: Ari: <raises an eyebrow but keeps chewing food, being careful to remain rather still. she sips her wine> This person can help us with Gregorin, right? 
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo or maybe the Utena video just for all the roses and eye candy...))
[08:19] arynwyn: (( Either. ^^ ))
[08:21] *** arynwyn has received Neon Genesis Evangelion - Bohemian Rhapsody.mpg.
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <chuckles> He'll look after you when I can't.
 <out of seemingly nowhere a large lynx pounces the picnic blanket, grabs some of the meat left out and looks at Lore.  Its eyes shift to Arianna intensely>
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah, Revolutionary Girl Utena: Roses, Swords, Eye Candy and Ambiguous Sexuality. <giggles>))

[08:25] arynwyn: (( Now I *really* want to see Neon Genesis Evangelion... <giggle> ))
[08:26] Chaos Angel Sox: <the cat takes a step towards her, a growl issuing from around the chunk of meat in its mouth>
 Lore: About time, cat.  Jeeze.  <he looks at the threatening posture> FANG!
 Fang: <flinches and backs a step away sheepishly>
 Lore: <goes over to Ari and puts his arms around her> It's okay, he'll behave, really.  He's been running around on his own for awhile now; he has to get used to elven company again.
 Fang: <seems to be watching this interaction with interest, then lays down and starts eating with interest>
[08:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, brain survive okay?))
[08:26] arynwyn: (( Mostly. >.> ))
[08:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the show will muck with your braincells even worse. ^_^  just as a warning))
[08:26] arynwyn: (( Awesome. Those are my favorites. :-D ))
[08:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((too many "with interest"))
[08:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeesh.))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. Britney Spears? >.< ))
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, no, I wouldn't do that to you.  This is Ahmet & Dweezil Zappa's version.  sooooo much better.))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( ah, okay. =P ))
[08:33] arynwyn: (( Are you AFK or...? ))
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, why?))
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have an away message set, but I usually do ^_^))
[08:34] arynwyn: (( Oh, cause it said you were away twice... Oh, okay. >.< ))
[08:34] arynwyn: (( Did you see my post? ))
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No...))
[08:34] arynwyn: Ari: <clings to Lore, looking at the cat and shivering> I... he's the one that we're meeting?... <blinkblink>
[08:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah that's not on my screen at all....weird...))
[08:35] arynwyn: (( Strange. >.< ))
[08:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods> Fang can protect you.  He doesn't like the city, but he'll cope, especially if he's well fed.  <bends and picks up a large piece of fish> Here, offer him this.
 Fang: <has just about finished the meat anyway>
[08:37] arynwyn: Ari: I... <shies away from the fish for a few moments, then takes it. she steps forward and bends down, holding the fish out> He won't... bite off my hand, will he?... <she watches the cat fearfully>
[08:38] *** arynwyn has received Revolutionary Girl Utena - Hit Me Baby One More Time.mpg.
[08:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <gets up and strolls over lazily.  He sniffs the fish and the hand holding it.  He licks the fish and her hand a few times, then tugs the fish out of her grip and onto the blanket so he can chomp it>
 Lore: He knows better.  <he goes over and scritches Fang behind the ears while the oversized cat eats>  No biting hands off unless I tell him to.  <Lore leans down and whispers something to Fang; the lynx actually stops eating to look at him, then goes back to his fish while Lore grins up at Ari> You can pet him.  It's okay.
[08:41] arynwyn: Ari: <kneels down next to Fang and reaches a shaking hand out toward the cat. she touches him (?) softly on the head, then begins to stroke his fur. she smiles> He's so soft... 
[08:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Overgrown housecat...but that also means he has very large claws and fangs.  If I can't be with you, you'll still have some formidable backup.
 Fang: <stops eating to lick Ari's cheek once, then goes back to the fish>
[08:44] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles softly and continues to pet Fang> But... I couldn't really expect him to attack Gregorin... I mean... You'd get in so much trouble, Lore! As much as I'd like to see him hurt or dead... <blinks and freezes> I... I can't believe I just said that. <she stares at the cat>
[08:45] arynwyn: *that...
[08:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I wouldn't mind seeing him hurt so much myself.  You know...we do have a rogue living with us...
[08:46] arynwyn: (( <laugh> They are very... what did you say? Ambiguous sexuality. <giggles>  Seems very cool though. I will also have to check this one out. ))
[08:46] arynwyn: Ari: <turns back to look at Lore> Are you suggesting we... that she... <is unable to finish the thought>
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah that video covers the main favorite couples.  >.>  Mmmmm, Touga... (the red haired guy)...))
[08:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:47] arynwyn: (( So you also think that anime chars are hot?! YAY! I'm not alone! <hugs> ))
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...well, I'd rather hurt him myself, but...we'll save that as the last resort, hm? <walks around Fang to hug her> And if Fang attacks Gregorin, it'll only be because he's trying to take you away from...us. <clear throat>  That's worth a little trouble.  It's worth a lot, actually.
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod nod> you are so *very* not alone...))
[08:48] arynwyn: (( woooooo! ))
[08:49] arynwyn: Ari: <hugs him back and nods> I just wish he'd... go away. Leave me alone. Forget about me... <smiles lightly as she remembers that's what brought her to Lore in the first place. she kneels back down to pet the kitty again, feeding him another piece of meat>

 Fang: <snaps up the meat carefully and does a rough approximation of a purr>
[08:55] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles at Fang> What do you think they can do? <she glances up at Lore> I mean... He's very powerful. And rich... And he can make life miserable for people who oppose him. I don't want anything to happen to your parents... 
[08:55] arynwyn: (( Stupid email. Gimme hot anime boys! ))
[08:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shrugs> We're not without influence, though we're not now what we once were.  ((<must not quote "Ulysses" again...>))  Still, I'd rather have more help than less.  I'd rather he pay attention to me than to you. <rubs her back>

[09:19] arynwyn: Ari: <leads the way up the steps to the shop, then stops dead, her key in her hand> 
[09:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: What's wrong, Ari? <carrying the significantly lighter basket and blanket>
 Fang: <looks around the city, sniffing>
[09:20] arynwyn: Ari: <points to the lock, which has been broken> Someone's broken in, I think. <she's gotten very pale>
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Fang. <he pulls Ari away from the door and pushes it open a bit>
 Fang: <prowls in, keeping low>
 Lore: <pulls his gun from his sling and makes sure he's between Ari and the door, keeping a hand on her behind him to make sure he knows where she is as he advances carefully into the shop>
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((NOW I require chocolatey cereals...))
[09:24] arynwyn: <the shop is in disarray. potion muckiness and shattered glass is everywhere. the trapdoor to Lore's lab is open and, upon inspection, it too has been ransacked> Ari: <steps in close behind Lore and gasps> 
[09:27] arynwyn: (( Sorry Lore... >.> ))
[09:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <his eyes narrow> ...don't assume they're gone yet.  Not until we've checked absolutely everywhere.
 Fang: <sniffs around for intruders>
[09:29] arynwyn: <there is no one, nor any traces of anyone> Ari: Lore, I... <a tear rolls down her cheek> 
[09:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <satisfied, he eases down, reslinging his gun.  He sighs once, then blinks and turns to her> Ari? Ari...<pulls her into a hug> This isn't your fault.  It's not.
[09:31] arynwyn: Ari: <hugs him back, but pulls away after a moment> I... I'm going to clean this up for you. It's the least I can do... <she heads into the kitchen for rags and a mop>
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <follows after her> You can help clean up the shop, if you really want, but let me handle the lab.  There was some pretty unstable stuff down there.
 Fang: <without being told to, he goes to the front door, curls up and "goes to sleep", blocking entrance with his bulk>
[09:35] arynwyn: Ari: <fills a bucket with water and finds a handful of rags. she's still pale but her jaw is set with determination> I... <sigh> Fine. <she heads back into the shop and begins to wipe up muck. a few moments later she hisses with pain as she cuts her hand (fairly badly) on a shard of glass. blood mixes with the liquid of the potions>
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <raises his head at the hiss>
 Lore: <runs over and kneels down> Let me see...<taking her hand>
 
 ((oh dear...and what potion was it...?))
[09:36] arynwyn: (( uhm... you decide. ))
[09:37] arynwyn: (( whatever would be most interesting. ^^ ))
[09:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm....truth potion? temporary memory wipe? umm....gender-swapping? <giggles>))
[09:38] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Uhm... the truth potion does just that, right? or is there a twist? ))
[09:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nope.  Victim speaks and answers questions with 100% honesty, no dodging, no half-truths.  The only way to avoid spilling a secret or something like that is just not to talk.))
[09:39] arynwyn: (( Hm... ))
[09:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((a full dose would be the standard 1 hour duration...))
[09:40] arynwyn: (( Might be funny if it was like... you are compelled to share secrets and truths. But since it's not... maybe the memory one. ))
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: (("Oh look! A tropical fish and its mate!"))
[09:41] arynwyn: (( Doesn't that require the giver of the potion to tell them what they want them to forget though? ))
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well, different people do have different reactions to things; it's possible that it compels her anyway? ^_^ 
 And yeah, she'd have to be told what to forget....))
[09:42] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Well... it might be fun to do the compelling thing. That okay? ))
[09:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure! :D ))
[09:42] arynwyn: (( And how long should it last? And how fast should it set in? ))
[09:43] arynwyn: (( okies. <giggle> ))
[09:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Truth potion should be almost instant; she didn't take a full dose, but it did directly enter her bloodstream...I'd say she's pretty damn well compelled for at least....10 minutes? <musing>))
[09:43] arynwyn: (( <grin> Okies. ))
[09:45] arynwyn: Ari: <swears loudly and picks up the shard that cut her. she reads the label> Dawnfury Truth Potion... <she glances at Lore and blinks> I love you. <turns very red and swears again>
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <blinks, as much at the swearing as what she said>... ...let me get you a bandage for that, Ari...<rises to fetch his first aid kit>
[09:47] arynwyn: Ari: <looks down at her hand and tries to stop the bleeding> I wish Gregorin would die. I wish I had the courage to kill him, or have him killed. <bites on her lip as tears come to her eyes> I can't... stop saying these things! 
[09:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm listening to this song (and the Disco version) almost constantly >.> ))
[09:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> nice. ))
[09:47] *** arynwyn has received 15 One Night Only (Highlights Versio.mp3.
[09:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods quietly as he finds the first aid kit and pulls it out>...that'd be the truth potion at work. <kneels carefully next to her and pulls her cut hand over to him to start wrapping it without saying anything else>
[09:50] arynwyn: (( Hm. Thinking of secrets... ))
[09:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[09:52] arynwyn: Ari: <starts to cry silently as he bandages her hand, trying not speak... but she does, and she squeezes her eyes closed as she says> My father used to hit me when he'd get drunk... I promised never to tell. <she pulls her hand away and starts to run out of the room, saying softly> I want you to follow...
[09:52] arynwyn: (( Pretty song!! ))
[09:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Isn't it? <3 I want to make a character to fit that song...))
[09:53] arynwyn: (( Was a lame truth, but it was all I could think of... ))
[09:53] arynwyn: (( Hmm... ))
[09:53] arynwyn: (( Maybe a char that is terminally ill? >.> ))
[09:53] Chaos Angel Sox: (('s not lame!))
[09:53] arynwyn: (( Eh... I want to change it but it's too late. 0)
[09:53] arynwyn: ))
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It is not!))
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((go ahead ^_^))
[09:54] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okay. ))
[09:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((do you want the "disco" version of that last one? ))
[09:56] arynwyn: Ari: <starts to cry silently as he bandages her hand, trying not speak... but she does, and she squeezes her eyes closed as she says> Killian is a bastard child. But he's more of a brother to me than [other brother's name here] ever will be. <she pulls her hand away and starts to run out of the room, saying softly> I want you to follow...
[09:56] arynwyn: (( Sure! ))
[09:57] *** arynwyn has received 16 One Night Only (Disco Version).mp3.
[09:57] arynwyn: (( Methinks I'm going to make Charise Ari's sister... ))
[09:58] arynwyn: (( oooo, this song is fun! ))
[09:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <stands and goes after her>...I'd follow you anyway, Ari. <reaches for her, wanting to hold her again> It shouldn't last too long; you didn't get a full dose.
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah the beat's infectious ^_^ ))
[09:59] arynwyn: Ari: <lets herself be pulled to him, crying against him> Gregorin... felt me up once... <shudders in his arms>
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <can't quite stifle a growl at that; he makes himself be calm for now as he pets her hair> We won't let that happen again...<okay so not so calm; saying that, his voice is taut with determination>
[10:03] arynwyn: (( Hm. How much longer? I'm blanking on what more to tell him... ))
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it can wear off whenever you want ^_^; Lore's already got a lot to think about, but if you come up with something good, go for it))
[10:05] arynwyn: (( Hm. I could do that she kissed Killian once... that he was the "farm boy" she kissed. And that's the reason she sometimes puts Killian in his place as the bastard child, because she doesn't want to have kissed her real brother... Unless you think that's a little too much? >.> ))
[10:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((eh, probably...))
[10:06] arynwyn: (( Okies. Thought it might be. ))
[10:07] arynwyn: Ari: <feels herself ease> I... I think the potion's worn off... <she wipes her eyes and pulls away> I should... clean this up. <looks around the shop>
[10:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shakes his head> Go rest, Ari.  I'll take care of this, okay?
[10:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ick. The high today's only going to be 58. >.> ))
[10:08] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and nods, then turns to him, though she doesn't really look at him> I'm sorry... about what I said. Please, just forget it. <she heads to the door>
[10:08] arynwyn: (( <jealous!> ))
[10:09] arynwyn: (( 81 here. It's 69 right now, at 4 am. ))
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <stays where he is> ...don't be.  You shouldn't ever be sorry for being who you are, for feeling the way you feel.
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll trade you weather?))
[10:09] arynwyn: (( YES! ))
[10:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Great.  As soon as I figure out how to do that....))
[10:10] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> No, I... It's not something I should have said. I'm sorry. <a tear leaks down her cheek again> ...I'll be in my room...
[10:10] arynwyn: (( <snicker> Yeah... ))
[10:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Ari, what has you more upset?  That you said you wanted Gregorin dead or....the first thing you said?
[10:12] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and lowers her head> The... first thing. I know it's not something you want to hear. Please. just forget it...
[10:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <thinks: not likely...> Go get some sleep, Ari.  I'll be up after I get this mess cleaned up.  Do you want me to send Fang with you?  Nice big cuddly kitty cat?
 Fang: <lifts his head and sneezes>
[10:15] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> No, I'll be fine. <she steps into the kitchen and heads upstairs>
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <waits until he's sure she's gone, leans against the front of his counter and slides to the floor, looking at the mess his shop is, hearing Ari say "I love you" over and over in his head as his eyes take in ruined merchandise, the occasional broken shelf, overturned displays.  He sighs heavily>  What a mess, hm, Fang?
 Fang: <pretends to sleep, still blocking the door>
[10:19] Chaos Angel Sox: I have to leave in about 40 minutes so I suppose I should put on...y'know...actual clothes instead of just a nightshirt >.>
[10:19] arynwyn: Okies. 
[10:19] arynwyn: Logging then?
[10:19] Chaos Angel Sox: nope I'll just be in and out
[10:19] arynwyn: Mkay. What should we do now?
[10:20] Chaos Angel Sox: mock Lore? It's usually what I do when I can't think of anything else.
 Lore: HEY!
[10:20] arynwyn: I could have Charise show up. That's the only thing I have besides the actual kidnapping attempt...
[10:20] arynwyn: <laugh>
[10:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <hires Hal to make the whole thing go away>  >.> I'll give you a little extra if you castrate him before killing him...
[10:23] arynwyn: <giggles>
[10:23] arynwyn: Hal: <comes back a few hours later and dangles something round, hairy and bloody in front of Lore> Your delivery. <bright smile>
[10:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: And now I know why Ash loves you so much. <hands over the extra coin>
[10:27] arynwyn: Hal: <giggles> Woo! <disappears back upstairs for more Ash boinking>
[10:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: ... ... ...please tell me castrating people for money does NOT turn the love of my life on...
[10:30] arynwyn: Hal: <blink> Turn me on? No way! Yeesh... Maybe for Val it does, but not me! You turn me on, Ash. <grin> 
[10:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <heaves a sigh of relief> Oh thank gods.  Okay. <grabs her and hauls her off to bed>
 Kat: Am I the only one who thinks the entire house reeks of sex nowadays?
[10:32] arynwyn: <snerk> Nope.
[10:33] arynwyn: Oh, I'm writing up Ari's thoughts after she goes upstairs. You can read it later if you want.
[10:33] Chaos Angel Sox: "If" I want, she says...'course I do!! :D
[10:33] arynwyn: Hehe, okies.
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore held off expressing his dismay over his shop's disarray ((ooo, dismay, disarray, they rhyme!)) around her until she left...course by then there's that whole "I love you" thing bouncing around in his head...
[10:35] arynwyn: >.<
[10:35] arynwyn: Almost done I think... It's short, but, eh...
[10:35] Chaos Angel Sox: but....the writingsness!
[10:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore's had women say it to him before, and he's let them down gently and gone on his way.  The fact he's having any trouble with this at all is a good sign ^_^
[10:36] arynwyn: <laugh> Yay.
[10:37] arynwyn: Posted.
[10:38] Chaos Angel Sox: I have this image of the girls sitting around, comparing their men.  Kat & Hal are in a "MY guy is sweeter" contest, and Ari's just like, "um, yeah, Ash and Kil are sweeter than Lore....but he's better in bed" and that starts a bigger discussion...<giggles>
[10:39] arynwyn: <LOL> Ari wouldn't say that. Unless she was under the potion. =P
[10:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>
[10:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Awwwwwww!!! <hugs Ari...no wait, sends Lore to hug Ari>
[10:40] arynwyn: Ari: Uhm.... <hugs Lore then runs away to hide>
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course, Kat would point out that she's slept with 2 of the 3 men there so her opinion has more weight.  And then the subject of boyfriend swapping comes up, so they can find out for sure who's best.  'course Ari's not going to sleep with her brother, so that ends up putting a damper on the whole thing...
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ...and the men are upstairs trying not to be heard laughing.
[10:41] arynwyn: <LOL> Oh dear.
[10:41] arynwyn: Awesome, awesome.
[10:41] arynwyn: What did you think of the post? >.>
[10:43] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs Ari too>
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ;__; poor ari-kins
[10:44] arynwyn: <laugh> But I mean, about the writing. What did you think of it that time? 'Cause last time I used present tense and all that...
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: if it means I can spend some time with him, as his... 
 
 ??
[10:44] arynwyn: As his girlfriend.
[10:45] Chaos Angel Sox: okay just checking to make sure she didn't still think she was just a sex toy.
 
 The writing is good.  I don't see any problems. :)
[10:45] arynwyn: Okies.
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: she's going to spend the next couple of days convinced Lore will break up with her at any moment, isn't she?
[10:47] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[10:48] arynwyn: That a bad thing? Well, besides the obvious...
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! Killian has She's So High! :D
[10:49] arynwyn: ^^
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: It'll be good RP ^_^
[10:49] arynwyn: Okies.
[10:49] arynwyn: Too bad you have to go...
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah I know.  But my options are get two hours of help before class or one hour of help after >.>  I may need two.
[10:50] arynwyn: <nodnod> It's good to go, get things done. And I should sleep anyway... >.<  What's the plan for tonight?
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Umm...I was going to come back from class, nap, wake up, have food and get back online. ^_^; I have no idea when that'll be; I should be back from class about 11 AM your time....nap for a few hours...so maybe 3 PM your time I could be back around? I dunno what's going on on your end today...<subtle hint> :)
[10:53] arynwyn: Okies. I dunno when Tim's getting off. His schedule is all wacky for the next two months before he deploys... If I can get on at 3 or so I will. Or I'll be on later in the evening. I'll check both here and WoW. :-)
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: okee. ^_^ <huggles> 
 Heh, I like here better for RPing but...the WoW-ness...so torn...
[10:55] arynwyn: I prefer here too... But it's up to you. I don't really play WoW anymore, I just talk to you. =P
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: I say "Aww!" in both the "I'm touched" and "That's a shame" senses.
[10:56] arynwyn: Hehe, s'ok. I just got bored with it. <shrug> I'm sure I'll pick it back up eventually. But for now I like the RPness. <huggles> 
[10:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah the RP is addictive...anyways <huggles> I'ma head out.  I gotta drive across town, catch a bus to campus and then bow and honor the head AI enough so that she will show me the path to CSS enlightenment.
[10:57] arynwyn: <laugh> Mkay. I'm gunna sleep. <hugs> Have fun and good luck!
[10:58] Chaos Angel Sox: thank you.  have good sleepings :)

[21:06] arynwyn: No worries! I was just confused because it signed you out for a while, then you signed back in and you weren't there. >.>
[21:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Huh. I've been having connectivity problems with AIM, or I did once yesterday.  I dunno
[21:07] arynwyn: Oh well. So how'd you sleep?
[21:07] Chaos Angel Sox: like death.  It was good.
[21:07] arynwyn: <laugh> Me too. Didn't get up until 12:30. 
[21:08] arynwyn: I've got Charise's personality all figured out now though. 
[21:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooooo :)
[21:08] arynwyn: She's angry and bitter. The "Forgotten Child"... >.>
[21:09] Chaos Angel Sox: why is she forgotten?
[21:09] arynwyn: And even though she's a warlock in game, I think I'm going to have her be a shadow priest in RP, unless you have a problem with that?
[21:10] Chaos Angel Sox: nah
[21:10] arynwyn: 'Cause she's the fourth child and she's always just been pushed aside. 
[21:10] Chaos Angel Sox: most of these charas don't even exist in game 
[21:10] arynwyn: True enough.
[21:11] Chaos Angel Sox: So Ari's got some other brother, Killian and Charise for sibs?
[21:11] arynwyn: It's a brother, a sister, Killian, Charise and Ari.
[21:12] arynwyn: By age.
[21:12] Chaos Angel Sox: 'cept poor Kil "doesn't count" ~_~
[21:12] arynwyn: Yeah...
[21:13] arynwyn: But yeah. The next step in Gregorin's plan is to have Ari's parents send Charise to try and talk some sense into Ari.
[21:14] Chaos Angel Sox: <sends Kat to hug Kil> 
 
 Oh dear...
[21:14] arynwyn: Heh, and this is made all the better because their parents told Charise that if Ari didn't marry Gregorin, Charise would be...
[21:15] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O
[21:15] arynwyn: <evil cackle>
[21:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Okay, look.  Really.  The evil sonovuabitch just needs to be ecked.
[21:15] arynwyn: <snicker> 
[21:16] arynwyn: But Lore, if Charise marries Gor, then Ari doesn't have to...
[21:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh and Lore and Ash had a chat in my brain.  Ash wants to leave the hall for a bit....and by "a bit", I mean...at least a week or so.
[21:16] arynwyn: Ah. Is Hal going too? 
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Yeah, but the thought of him touching *any* woman is honestly kind of disturbed...
[21:17] arynwyn: <nodnod> Fair enough.
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: <cough> Probably not.  But he'll bring back a souvenir. ^_^;;
[21:17] arynwyn: <laugh> Okay.
[21:17] arynwyn: So, do you want to RP? Or is food required first? And who do you want to start with?
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: food would be good but I'm out of cereal, don't yet want spiral mac, don't feel like reheating breadsticks...so I dunno what I want to eat.
 
 And you pick where to start.  this is all pretty much your baby. ^_^
[21:19] arynwyn: Aw. I don't want it to be my baby. >.<
[21:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ? You came up with it.
[21:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <pounce huggles>
[21:20] arynwyn: <huggles> I know. But I want this all to be mutual. I don't want you to feel like I'm controlling this whole thing. >.>
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: You're not!
[21:21] arynwyn: And you *enjoying* the RP?
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: I shall poke you until you realize this.  
 And yes, I am. ^_^ 'tis good. 
[21:21] arynwyn: <laugh> okay.
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: <poke poke poke poke poke poke poke poke>
[21:22] arynwyn: Ack! <dives into sofa cushion fort> Then you wanna start with Charise showing up?
[21:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Sho'.
[21:22] arynwyn: Hehe, okies.
[21:22] arynwyn: Hm, color...
[21:24] arynwyn: <it's pouring rain outside and a soaked figure climbs the steps to Lore's shop. her shoulder-length hair is drenched and clinging to her head and face. she taps on the door and waits>
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ooo gray))
[21:25] arynwyn: (( Hm, should have said something about her clothes too... ))
[21:25] arynwyn: (( Hehe, yep. ))
[21:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((go for it))
[21:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((this the same day as the break-in?))
[21:26] arynwyn: <she is wearing a dark shirt (wet) and dark pants, both cloth, and boots. a cape billows in the wind and doesn't seem to be offering much protection from the wind or rain>
[21:26] arynwyn: (( Uhm, the next day maybe. ))
[21:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <answers the door and blinks> ...umm, the alchemy shop's closed for...renovations.
[21:28] arynwyn: Char: <speaks quietly, almost inaudible through the rain> I'm looking for Arianna Vel'Ranian. 
[21:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oh light, who isn't lately?  Come in and don't worry about dripping.  We're not that formal.
 Lore: <comes the rest of the way up the stairs from his lab> Wait, it's a woman? <he's holding a large pipe in one hand; apparently he was waiting to spring some sort of trap>
 Kat: <rolls her eyes> Yeah, now you're getting them delivered instead of picking them up yourself?
 Lore: Ha ha.
 Kat: You have a sword, you know <eyeing the pipe>
 Lore: Two in fact, and a gun. I just wanted to use something as crude as he is.
[21:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I brought Kat in purely for the "having women delivered" line >.>))
[21:33] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[21:34] arynwyn: Char: <steps inside out of the rain and runs a hand over her face. she eyes each of them over, then glances around the shop> Ah, Gregorin has been here then. <soft sigh> 
[21:34] arynwyn: (( What's the pipe for? O.o ))
[21:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <his jaw tightens at the name, and the reminder>
 Kat: Tea while you wait? <nudges Lore, and by "nudge" I mean "elbow in the ribs"> 
 Lore: Ow, what the...?
 Kat: She's here to see Ari.  Fetch, boy.
 Lore: <shoots a Look at Kat and heads for Ari's room>
 Kat: <gestures to the doorway> This way, please.
[21:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Pipe is for clubbing intruders over the head with, in proper Clue fashion ))
[21:37] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Nice. ))
[21:38] arynwyn: Char: <nods and follows silently, dripping water everywhere>
[21:40] arynwyn: (( <giggles> "I can spell alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ..." ))
[21:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <is lying outside Ari's door; he raises his head as Lore approaches, then stretches, yawns and gets out of the way>
 Lore: <taps on the door> Ari?
 
 Kat: <offers their visitor a chair> I'll put the kettle on.  Sugar, milk, honey?
[21:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggle>))
[21:43] arynwyn: Char: Plain, please. <she sits and continues to drip> Thank you.
 
 Ari: <starts from her thoughts and feels a wave of dread wash over her> He's going to do it now... It's over... I should have started packing earlier. I'm going to have to leave after he breaks up with me. I don't think I can live here, with him, after this... <she steps over to the door and opens it, saying softly> Yes, Lore? <her eyes are puffy and red from lack of sleep and too much crying>
[21:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks distressed at her condition> Oh, Ari...<rests a hand on her cheek>
 
 Kat: <leaves just long enough to fetch a towel to offer to Char>
[21:47] arynwyn: Char: <smiles lightly and takes the towel> Thank you. <she begins to dry her hair which is blonde and begins to curl, much like Ari's, only shorter> 
 
 Ari: <closes her eyes briefly as a tear slides down her cheek. she pulls away> Did you need something?
[21:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I take it this isn't good news?  Whatever has you out in all that rain?
 
 Lore: <barely stops himself from saying, "you to be happy"> ...you have a visitor.  She's drenched; figure it must be important. <quick switch of topic> You've been in your room all day.  Have you eaten at all?  Kat's making tea; I can get you...and your guest...some food.
[21:52] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> I'm not hungry. <she slips on her shoes and steps out of her room and heads toward the stairs> Did she say her name?
 
 Char: <squeezes out some of her clothes and steps over to the fire, shivering> No, it's not. I don't remember the last time I was given, or gave, good news.
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shakes his head> No, just that she was looking for you.  But she knows Gregorin well enough to recognize his handiwork.
 Fang: <pads along after Ari>
 
 Kat: <sighs> Well at least the weather's right for it...<pours tea and sets the mug in front of Char>
[21:56] arynwyn: Char: <takes the tea and begins to sip at it, grateful for the warmth> Thank you. 
 
 Ari: <sighs> That's never good... <she heads down the steps, then stops dead at the bottom. she blinks at the visitor> Charise?
 
 Char: <turns to look at Ari> Ah, Arianna. Finally.
[21:56] arynwyn: (( Oops. Too many spaces. Oh well... ))
[21:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I just scared Murphy <giggles>  He was all =O_O= ))
[21:58] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Nice. ))
[21:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <bows out, heading upstairs>
 Lore: <following Fang who's following Ari; he stops at the top of the stairs to listen>
 Kat: <kicks at his shin as she passes him and mouths at him not to eavesdrop>
 Lore: <ignores Kat>
[22:01] arynwyn: Ari: Charise, what are you doing here? <she steps into the room and goes partway in>
 Char: You know why. I was sent by Father to bring you home. He says you've had enough of a holiday. Stop shrinking from your familial duties. 
 Ari: <shakes her head> No. I'm not going back. I can't. Charise... I can't marry him!
 Char: <steps in close to her sister, hissing> And if you don't, then I will be forced to. 
[22:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that a loud enough hiss that Lore can hear it at the top of the stairs?))
[22:02] arynwyn: (( Yes. ))
[22:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <prowls around and sniffs Charise>
 Lore: <blinks at hearing this and tries to keep from punching the stair railing (for lack of anything else to punch)>
[22:07] arynwyn: Char: <looks down at Fang> Look at you, Arianna. Living with animals? <shakes her head> I thought you were better than this. <turns and pours out the tea, setting the mug in the sink> We leave in the morning. Be packed and ready. If you're not, things won't go well.
 Ari: Charise! No! I'm not leaving... <a tear streaks down her cheek> Stop this. We have always been close. You know how unhappy I would be if I married him... Why do you want me to go back to that?
 Char: And me, Arianna? What about me? Does anyone look out for me? No. So I have to, and I am. Be ready or Yorvik will drag you out of here. <she leaves>
[22:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <watches her go until she's out of sight>
 Lore: <comes down the steps quickly and slides his arms around Ari>
[22:09] arynwyn: Ari: <turns in Lore's arms and begins to sob quietly, utterly despairing>
 Kil: <creeps down the stairs and looks at the two. after a moment, he says quietly> Katalya said someone came for Ari. Is everything alright?
[22:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((my cat is spazzing...))
[22:10] arynwyn: (( Why? O.o ))
[22:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Might as well ask why God made the platypus.  He just does it sometimes, tearing around the place like hell's after him.  dippy cat))
[22:11] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Wow... >.< ))
[22:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <pats her back softly and strokes her hair; he remains silent for a bit then answers Kil> Charise, her sister from the sound of it.  She says...<sighs>...that if Ari doesn't marry Gregorin, she'll have to. <hugs Ari closer to him>
[22:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And now Murphy's flopped next to the chair, catching his breath.  silly breathless kitty))
[22:15] arynwyn: Kil: <closes his eyes and tries to remain calm, but he fails and ends up doing what Lore wanted to do: punching the wall. he swears quietly and after a moment, when he calms and gets the pain bitten back, he asks> Where did Charise go?
 Ari: <sniffing> She... I don't know. She just left. She said... I had to be ready by tomorrow morning... or Yorvik would... drag me out...
[22:15] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[22:15] arynwyn: (( Craving Nutella... >.< ))
[22:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I don't know who Yorvik is but he's not taking you anywhere at any time. <still stroking her hair> Fang and I won't let him.  We can be quite persuasive.
 Fang: <yawns, showing off the considerable number of namesakes in his mouth>
[22:19] arynwyn: Kil: And me. They aren't taking you anywhere. <he sighs> Poor Charise... I should go and find her, talk to her...
 Ari: <cuddles into Lore's arms> Thank you. I just... don't know what to do. Everything is so... so messed up...
[22:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Yeah, well...we'll get it squared away. <kisses her head>  Don't know how...but we'll figure it out.
 
 
 ((Lore: We're all massively attractive and sexy people with huge brains.  we'll figure something out))
[22:22] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[22:22] arynwyn: (( So... FF to the next morning? ))
[22:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure))
[22:24] arynwyn: (( Where is Fang sleeping? ))
[22:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Probably outside Ari's door))
[22:25] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[22:26] arynwyn: <just before dawn, the lock to the shop is broken, again, and two hooded figures step in silently. they cross through the shop and through the common room and head up the stairs. there's a muffled, whispered conversation when they see Fang, and the taller of the figures pulls out a large hunk of meat>
[22:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <raises his head and growls at the intruders>
[22:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((getting around a Hunter's trained pet is going to be tough...))
[22:28] arynwyn: <the man kneels down and tosses the meat toward the cat>
[22:28] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I know. I'm not really expecting this to work... ))
[22:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay ^_^ ))
[22:28] arynwyn: (( Unless Fang eats the meat... ))
[22:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <ignores the meat...for now.  He makes a mental note to come back for it later though.  Right now is all about advancing menacingly on the intruders and hissing very large kitty anger>
[22:31] arynwyn: <more whispering as the two back up slowly, hands held up> Char: <loud whisper> Do something, you idiot! <the man stops and begins casting a spell. the cat is hit with a curse of some kind>
[22:31] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "Your hair looks as though a crazed weasel nested, bore young, and died there." >.>))
[22:31] arynwyn: (( Gross! <giggles> ))
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that's from Oprah.com))
[22:32] arynwyn: (( O.o ))
[22:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <screeches as only angry large cats can - and at a considerable volume.>
 Lore: <there's a soft click off to one side of the group as the shotgun is cocked. Lore stands in his doorway in his boxers, glaring death at the intruders, targeting one of the men> Give me a reason to pull the trigger. <he says lowly>
[22:35] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/10/03/self.consciousness/index.html)http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/10/03/self.conscio(Link: http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/10/03/self.consciousness/index.html)usness/index.html ))
[22:36] arynwyn: Char: <pulls down her hood> Don't shoot. <she glares at the cat and at Lore> I'm here for my sister. By the looks of this, you are keeping her prisoner. It looks as if you're having enough problems with your shop, I don't want to have to add unlawful inprisonment to that.
[22:38] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I know that feeling... My senior year of high school I had really bad social anxiety. I felt like that all the time. ))
[22:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Get a guard in here and we'll see who's breaking more laws. <his eyes and the muzzle of his gun have not deviated from their first selected target>
 Kat: <opens the door to her room and lounges lazily in the doorway, wearing the usual scanty nightgown...and holding the rather impressive two handed sword Kil gave her.  She smiles at the men and waves briefly before hefting the sword>
[22:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I still get like this. >.>  I assume when I walk into a room that everyone's looking at me...and thinking bad things.))
[22:42] arynwyn: Char: <sighs and calls> Arianna! <she waits a few moments>
 Ari: <pulls open her door and looks out, her eyes foggy with sleep> Huh? <she blinks a few times at the gathering in the hallway> What's going on?
 Kil: <appears besides Katalya> Charise! <he steps out into the hallway, and, seeing Lore pointing the gun at her, he pushes the gun down. he turns back to Char> Charise, don't do this. There are other ways. Ways that neither of you have to marry that man. 
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <eyes the men with Charise warily, waiting and mentally begging for one of them to do something that will warrant immediate, violent action>
 Fang: <seems to be doing the same>
 Ash: <quietly from behind everyone> No one should have to marry someone they don't want to.
 Kat: Look, I appreciate you don't wanna marry the creep, but we're not going to let you steal Ari.  And there are more of us than there are of you.  So we can all have breakfast and talk about this, or your little friends here <gestures with the sword to Char's companions> can be introduced to a lot of pain before we toss them out on their ears.
[22:51] arynwyn: Char: <is gazing at Ari with a mixture of anger, jealousy, and pain> I see you have a very close group of friends, Arianna. <she waves a hand and the men behind her begin to retreat> Do you want a wedding invitation, then? I'm sure Father would love you to be there. And I would. What would my wedding be without my younger sister?... <she turns and starts down the stairs>
 Ari: <begins to cry... again> Charise... stop, please... It doesn't have to be like this...
 Char: <ignores her sister and continues down the steps>
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <looks at Lore, waiting...then sighs, hands her sword to Killian and goes after Charise> Hey, look...we don't like the guy either.  Why don't you stay and we can think of a way out of this for everyone?
 Ash: <leaning on the stair railing, he says just loud enough to carry down the stairs> Is it too late to advocate brutal slaying?
 Kat: <shoots Ash a look>
 Lore: Can I second that?
 Kat: <shoots Lore a look>
 Fang: <snarls at the man Charise brought in with her. ((don't know why I thought there was more than one guy with her; yeesh.))>
[22:56] arynwyn: (( Hehe, no worries. ))
[22:57] arynwyn: Char: <shakes her head> You are Arianna's friends, not mine. Why would you want to help me?... <continues through the common room>
 Yorvik: <shies away from the growling cat fearfully>
[22:59] arynwyn: (( Hehe, Tim is playing Halo 3 with his brother and the music is awesome... Reminds me of LotR. ))
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <chases after her and grabs hold of her arm> 'Cause you're her sister.  And 'cause Gregorin's scum - fancy, dandified scum, but still scum.
 Lore: So what about you? <addressing Yorvik> Care to walk out or be carried?
 Ash: I'm getting dressed...the lot of us walking around in hardly anything, people will think this is a brothel...<heading for his room>
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh. ^_^ ))
[23:02] arynwyn: Char: <stops and looks down at Kat's hand on her arm, then up to Kat> And what do you require of me in return? I have nothing to offer you. <she pulls her arm away>
 Yorvik: <kind of sneers at Lore and continues to follow Charise, stopping with her between him and Lore and the cat>
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: We just want Ari to stay with us.  That's all we're asking of you.  Well, that, and if we're going to stop Gregorin from getting his slimy paws on either of you, we won't turn down any help you might be able to offer.
[23:05] arynwyn: Char: I already gave up, are you deaf? I told her I'd marry him. <begins walking again> There's no fighting him. He will win and get what he wants. It's futile. 
[23:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: He'll get what he wants because you're giving it to him.  And since you've already "given" us what we want by not taking Ari away, then we don't require anything else of you.  We're not mercenaries.  We just want to help our friend.  Ari doesn't want you marrying that festering boil either.
 It's your choice, and I'm not saying we will absolutely be able to do anything...but we'll try. <shrugs, looks over her shoulder at Yorvik, nods in acknowledgement of his presence, and goes back to looking at Charise>
[23:11] arynwyn: Char: <stops in the doorway and sighs> What do you think we can do? I don't see a way, short of killing him... <she turns back around and looks at Kat> I've thought and though and it's either marry him, kill him or find him another person to marry, but that's the most unlikely of the three... Who would want to marry him?...
[23:11] arynwyn: (( My net is messing up... >.> ))
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugs>))
[23:11] arynwyn: (( <hugs> ))
[23:12] arynwyn: (( Did it say I DC'ed? ))
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((nope))
[23:12] arynwyn: (( Hm. )0
[23:12] arynwyn: ))
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is it the net or AIM? 'cause I had a bunch of disconnect messages when I woke up.))
[23:12] arynwyn: (( It was my wireless internet. It's fine now. <shrug> ))
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I'm sure there's a gold digger out there somewhere willing to sacrifice herself....and even if there isn't, we might be able to think of something if we all work on it together.  I'm just saying, trying to find a way is better than just laying down and waiting for...well, let's not discuss that before breakfast. >_o
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((as the kitty spazzes...))
[23:15] arynwyn: Char: <nods finally, then snaps her fingers at Yorvik> Go back to the inn. Stay there and don't talk to anyone, save to order food. 
 Yor: <bows and scurries off>
[23:15] arynwyn: (( Again? O.o ))
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((apparently; but he hasn't built up his speed yet...))
[23:16] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[23:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Ooo, he's well trained...
 Ash: <upstairs still; he examines the floor> I don't see bloodstains...
 Lore: Shhh. <listening in from the stairs>
[23:18] arynwyn: Char: <watches him go> He's heard too much. I would have sent him home, but he'd have reported to my father, and I can't have that... <she sighs> Arianna needs to know: Gregorin has our parents under some sort of spell... That is why they are insisting one of us marry him. I've been researching counterspells and antidotes and the like, but I've not found anything...
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <winces> Oo.  Not good.  C'mon, sit down and we'll work out some breakfast.  First things first: we think better on a full stomach, and we can talk about what we know over food.
 Ash: <nudges Lore and nods towards Ari>
 Lore: <looks where Ash is nodding, then goes back over to her> Ari..? Hell of a wake up call, hm? <moving to take her in his arms>
[23:24] arynwyn: Ari: <seems in sort of a shock. she lets herself be held, but she doesn't seem to be with the program. not since she heard that her parents were under a spell> I... I should... cook breakfast... <still staring off, she pulls away and starts down the stairs>
 Char: <nods and takes a seat> I'm sorry. I owe all of you an apology. <she sighs and shakes her head, looking down at the table> I'll pay for the lock on the door. 
[23:24] arynwyn: (( Oh, whenever Fang gets around to eating that meat, it's got a sleep potion in it. ))
[23:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <following after her> Are you sure you're okay?
 Fang: <decides it's safe and tracks down the meat for his own breakfast>
 Ash: Lore, put some clo...nevermind <sighs and walks down, the only person besides Charise not wearing nightclothes>
 Kat: I'm sure Lore'd appreciate that.  Gregorin's thugs already broke it once. <puts coffee on>  Though if I were facing the thought of marrying that hideous...thing, I'd probably be pretty desperate too.
[23:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((on customers_suck: "6. Yes, I know there are birds in here. Yes, I know there are birds in here. Yes, I know there are birds in here. Nothing we can do about it but try and lure them out and keep them there with stray french fries until it gets cold enough to close the windows and doors all the time. I know they dive-bomb, poo, make noise, and all the rest, but there's nothing we can do about it, short of getting a shotgun."))
[23:30] arynwyn: Ari: <dully> I'm fine. <she steps into the kitchen and begins pulling out food to start making breakfast. she doesn't look at Charise>
 Char: <sighs again> Arianna... I'm sorry. But you know how it is for me at home. The only time Father ever speaks to me is if he wants something or I've done something wrong. And when you ran off, that somehow became my fault. It was, "Why didn't you stop her, Charise?" "You're her older sister, Charise. You should have talked some sense into her." Etc., etc., etc...
[23:30] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sighs and wants to hug her little brother and sister very badly>
 Lore: <looks at what Ari's pulling out and starts helping her, adding other things she needs - and he's usually right.>
 Ash: You can't keep track of your siblings.  Trust me, I know.  <as he sits a chair over from Charise (not right next to her)>
 
 ((Me: Lore, you can cook?  Lore: See, everyone's surprised.  I'm not as good as Ari, but who is?  I'm better than Talya...but then who isn't?  Kat: :P ))
[23:38] arynwyn: Char: Yes, well, try telling that to my father. <shakes her head again> After you wrote and said you had gotten engaged, I was tempted to follow you, Ari. But... I knew I wouldn't be able to find anyone, so I stayed. And then they started discussing *my* engagement with Gregorin... And you know what? He acts like I'm not good enough. I'm "second best"... <she scowls>
 Hal: <wanders downstairs scratching her head and looking around> What's going on? Why's everyone up so early? <she sits on Ash's lap and kisses his cheek> What'd I miss? 
 Ari: <listening to everything closely, but keeping herself focused on cooking. she rolls out some sweet rolls and goes to stick them in the oven just as Hal comes down. the sound of Hal's voice makes her jump and she burns herself on the oven. she hisses in pain, though she doesn't drop the pan>
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <stops what he's doing to grab a clean washcloth and soak it in cool water>
 Ash: <loops his arms around Hal's waist and catches her up in whispers>
 Kat: Do you know the spell specifics?  I'm not the best authority on spellcasting, but...<shrugs>
[23:44] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and lets Lore hold the cloth to her hand, leaning against him and closing her eyes>
 Hal: <blinks as she is filled in, then says quietly> Let me take care of it... <she stands and heads upstairs>
 Char: <shakes her head> No, I don't. I wish I did.
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Damn.
 Lore: <loops an arm around Ari and kisses her forehead>
 Ash: ... ... ...
 Fang: ZzzzZzzzZzzz
[23:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <is asleep on his back, paws curled up, soft tummy all exposed for rubbing. Occasionally one of his back paws kicks and his tail twitches>
[23:50] arynwyn: Ari: <asks quietly> Lore... are you going to break up with me? I've got to know. It's driving me insane... <doesn't have the courage to look up at him>
 Hal: <reappears a few minutes later wearing tight black leather, her two daggers (one is the one she got for her birthday) strapped to her belt. she steps over to Ash and kisses him hard and long> I love you. Don't forget that. <to everyone> I'll be back in twenty four hours. I hope... <begins to cross the room to leave, tying a mask on her face>
 Char: <raises an eyebrow at Hal but says nothing>
[23:51] arynwyn: (( Aww! <scratches Fang's tummy> ))
[23:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <stands up when Hal enters, kisses her back sort of bewilderedly, and blinks>
 Kat: ...y'know, I probably ought to be trying to stop her...but I can't think of a good reason to...
 Ash: <crosses over to her> You'll be careful, won't you?  Extra careful?
 Lore: <blinks at her, barely aware of what's going on elsewhere...hell, not aware at all of it> What?  No!  Why would I do such a stupid thing?
[23:57] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles under mask> Ash... I'm not going to let anything come between me and getting back here to you. <she pulls the mask down to kiss him again, then she vanishes>
 Ari: Because of... what I said yesterday. The potion... I mean, I know you don't feel that way about me, and I know you don't want anything that... deep. And then this whole Gregorin thing... It's too much. I'm not worth it all. <she shakes her head>
 Char: Is she... going to go... do what I think she's going to go do? <looks to Kat>
[23:57] arynwyn: (( Crud, forgot about Killian... >.< ))
[23:58] arynwyn: Kil: <slips downstairs, dressed, and steps over to Kat> What's going on? Where's Hal going?
[00:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Why don't you let me decide whether you're worth it or not? <kisses her forehead again> 'Cause I think you are.
 Ash: <sigh> ...and thus starts 24 hours of worrying...<returns to his seat>
 Kat: Well...most likely, Hal's going...going to do exactly what our guest here thinks she's going to do. <nods at Charise>
[00:06] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and nods, leaning up to kiss him gently> I... <mental facepalm> I can't say that! Stop thinking it! I should finish breakfast. <she pulls away and turns back to the food.
[00:06] arynwyn: (( Oops. ))
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oops?))
[00:07] arynwyn: Kil: <sits down next to Kat and takes her hand, kissing it> Are you okay? 
 Char: <watches Kil and raises an eyebrow> Don't tell me you ran off and got engaged too? 
[00:07] arynwyn: (( Hit enter too soon. ))
[00:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ah))
[00:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <giggles at Char's question> Well, we had to do something to keep Gregorin from trying to marry him...
 Lore: <goes back to helping her when he can, but not before saying> We can talk about this more later, hm? In private?
 Ash: <fidget>
[00:11] arynwyn: (( Poor Ashy! ))
[00:13] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles> Wow. Maybe I should move here. With the rate you two met people, maybe my curse wouldn't stand in the way of meeting someone too. 
 Ari: <nods> If you'd like. I don't know what more to say. I've apologized numerous times... <pours some batter into a pan for pancakes> 
 Kil: <smiles and leans in to kiss Kat> Marriage, hm? <winks at her>
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Okay I can talk more later, and you can just listen.  And stop apologizing.
 Kat: <blushes lightly at Kil's comment and explains to Char> We're just dating.  ...Lore and Ari are the only ones engaged.  And y'know, we *do* have a spare room.  I'm afraid it's just a bed, a nighstand, and a dresser - sexy guys not included. <puts her hand on Kil's thigh under the table>
[00:19] arynwyn: Kil: <scoots his chair closer and drapes an arm around her shoulders, toying with the chain of the locket> Yes, Charise, please stay. We'll get all of this straightened out.
 Char: I... <thinks for a moment> Alright. I'll stay. Even though there's no sexy guy... <she actually grins> What should I do about Yorvik though? 
[00:19] arynwyn: (( Drat ))
[00:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hm?))
[00:19] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> Alright. You talk, I'll listen. And I won't apologize again. I'll try anyway.
[00:19] arynwyn: (( Keep hitting enter at the wrong time. >.< ))
[00:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ah <huggles>))
[00:20] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[00:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Your servant?
 Lore: Okay. <kisses her...then flips the pancakes before they burn...then goes back to kissing her>
 Ash: <chuckles lightly at the scene at the stove; with Hal gone, he's just sort of people watching at this point>
[00:23] arynwyn: Char: <nods> The one who overheard too much. <she sighs> He can't stay at the inn, and I can't send him home. And keeping him here... I'm not sure that's a good idea either...
 Ari: <returns the kiss, giving up on finishing breakfast. she pulls away to turn off the stove and the oven, then tugs him toward the stairs> There's some food; finish if you want more... 
 Char: <looks over at Ari and scowls> 
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <stands to take over breakfast before Kat offers>
 Lore: Your room or mine?
 Kat: Yeesh.
 Lore: We're TALKING, Talya, not that it's any of your business.
 Kat: ;P <then she redirects to the matter at hand> He'll spill the beans to your father, hm?  So more of a family servant than yours personally? <ponder>
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and...third spaz of the evening...yeesh.))
[00:29] arynwyn: Ari: <heading up the stairs> Yours. It's more comfortable. 
 Char: <nods> He was sent with me to help me if I couldn't convince Ari to come home. Help me meaning drag her out. 
 Kil: <watches Ari and Lore go, then stands to help Ash finish breakfast>
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <blinks as he nearly trips over Fang asleep at the top of the stairs> ... ...sure <he replies to Ari, and holds his door open for her>
 Kat: Any particular weaknesses you know about we can exploit? Women, drink, gambling?
 Ash: You sound like a crime lord, Talya...crap! the rolls! <goes to check the oven>
[00:32] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Oh dear.
[00:32] arynwyn: ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hm?))
[00:32] arynwyn: (( Your cat. ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sounds like it was just a mini-spaz; he's already calmed down))
[00:34] arynwyn: Ari: <slips into his room, looking down at Fang with confusion, then perches on the edge of Lore's bed> 
 Kil: <grins> If I remember correctly, he has a thing for large women. <flips the pancakes>
 Char: <makes a face> There you have it, then. Fat ladies.
[00:34] arynwyn: (( ah. ))
[00:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Okay so if we find a rather...ample woman to keep him company, that might buy us some time...or, more accurately, buy Hal some time.  She's taking the most direct action right now.
 Ash: ... ... ...<pulling the sweet rolls out>
 Lore: <shuts the door and exhales, then goes to sit next to her> ...okay, um...I don't know where to start...<sighs and thinks> Ari, I care for you, care about what happens to you.  And...frankly, you're not the first woman to say she loves me; I've always had a ready answer when it's happened before.  But...I don't know what to say to that, when you say it.  It always sounded like a warning to me before, and now...I dunno.  I feel...flattered.  Honored <he corrects>
[00:44] arynwyn: Kil: <glances over at Ash> She'll be fine. She's been doing stuff like this for years. <turns back to Kat> So, do we know any women like that? I don't know anyone. Not in the city anyway.
 Char: <shrugs> I just got here.
 Ari: <fidgets> I... <shakes her head> I know you don't feel the same, and that's fine. I mean, I couldn't even hope... <closes her eyes against the tears, then blinks a few times> I mean... I don't know what I mean. <she lays back on the bed and stares up at the ceiling>
[00:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I bet ladykiller upstairs does.  We can ask him when he's done "talking".
 Ash: ...you know, he might've been telling the truth and not speaking in sexual euphemisms.
 Kat: <turns in her chair to arch an eyebrow at Ash>
 Ash: What? It can happen!!
 Lore: <takes her hand>...but none of that means I want to break up with you. And, just so we're clear here, Gregorin's trashing my shop to try and convince me to give you up backfired.  I tend to dig my heels in when people just demand I do things.  So even if I didn't think you're a great woman, I'd definitely hold onto you tighter after all of that.  But, it just so happens, I do have this very high opinion of you, so... <kisses the back of her hand>
[00:52] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target227.html)(Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target227.html)http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target227.html ))
[00:52] arynwyn: Kil: <chuckles and sets a plate of pancakes on the table> Dig in. <he goes and pours himself a glass of juice, his stomach too nervous to eat>
 Char: <takes a pancake and picks at it, eating very little>
 
 Ari: <nods and touches his cheek softly> Then... I just need to get thinks all straightened out again. And maybe we can go back to being happy like we were. <she sighs and sits back up> Do you think Hal will succeed? Do you think she'll kill him?
[00:52] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> What the?! ))
[00:53] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target229.html)(Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target229.html)http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target229.html ))
[00:54] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I know that feeling... ))
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <pours coffee for everyone>
 Kat: <eats slowly, thinking> ...so, let's say all works as hoped.  We distract Yorvik, Hal takes care of Gregorin...should we be working on an antidote as well, just to be safe?  Lore might be able to puzzle that out.
 
 Lore: ....well, she's a pro.  So we'll hope, hm? <brushes her cheek>
[00:58] arynwyn: Char: If it's a spell, wouldn't it cease once Gregorin dies? <sips the coffee>
 Kil: <slips out of the room and disappears>
 
[00:59] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> I'm sure she'll get the job done... <shivers a little>
[01:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: It should.  But if something prevents Hal from completing the job...well I guess we'll deal with that if it happens. <drinks coffee>
 
 Lore: <pulls her close> Personally, I think I'd trade his death for the ability to keep you with...us.
 ((that's the second time he's almost said "me" there...though the other time was last night...))
[01:02] arynwyn: (( Hm... FF to when Hal gets back then? ))
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure ^_^))
[01:02] arynwyn: (( Okies. ((
[01:02] arynwyn: ))
[01:02] arynwyn: (( Hm... what time...? ))
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((next morning? before dawn or after? or the night before?))
[01:03] arynwyn: (( Methinks just before dawn again. ))
[01:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee ^_^))
[01:03] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target231.html)(Link: http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target231.html)http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target231.html ))

[01:05] arynwyn: Hal: <slips into the common room and collapses into a chair. she tugs the mask off her face and sighs. her hands and part of her chestpiece are bloodsplattered. she slips her daggers out of the holsters and sets them on the table. it looks like she's taken the time to wipe them down as they have no blood on them>
[01:05] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <is pacing in his room, as he has been most of the night.  He looks out the window at the impending dawn and decides to go down and start coffee.  He doesn't bother dressing this time, heading down in his pajama pants and unbuttoned pajama shirt.  He blinks at what he sees as he comes down.> Hallie...? <goes over to her quickly; he'd run if there commons were big enough that he could get up that much speed; he drops to his knees as he nears her so he can hug her a little better while she's still seated>
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((....and then Ash falls asleep on her lap))
[01:10] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles lightly, looking exhausted> Hey you. I told you I'd be back. <she wraps her arms around him in a loose hug> How are things going?
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: Well enough.  We found a way to distract that guy Charise had with her so he wouldn't go rat us out; Lore and Ari have been quiet, but okay...I've been worried sick.  <kisses her with brief intensity> And I'm glad you're home.  ...how did it go?
[01:14] arynwyn: Hal: <kisses him back, then sighs> It... went. He's dead. As well as half of his estate. <she tugs up on the leather of her chestpiece to show her stomach. it's bandaged and bloody> I got hit pretty badly. I lost quite a bit of blood, but I'll be alright. He was a paranoid fucker, that's for sure. Slept with a dagger under his pillow. 
[01:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hold on a sec))
[01:14] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <as soon as he sees the blood and bandages, he stops seeing anything else> I'll go wake Talya...<standing quickly>
[01:20] arynwyn: Hal: Ash, no... I'm okay, really. <she grabs his hand and tugs him back down, whispering> Don't leave me... <there are tears in her eyes and she tries to blink them back>
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <wraps his arms around her carefully> Okay, not going.  Not going anywhere. <kisses her cheek and temple and forehead>  I'm just glad you made it back.
[01:24] arynwyn: Hal: <clings to him and nods> Me too. Ash... I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to have to leave you and wonder if I'm going to be able to make it back. While I was gone, all I could think about was you and when I got stabbed... <she wipes at the tears that leak down her cheeks> Ugh, I hate crying. Damn it.
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: There's nothing wrong with not wanting to ...to do that job anymore.  ...assuming that's what you meant? <worried and hopeful that she didn't mean she wants to stop seeing him>
[01:28] arynwyn: Hal: Of course that's what I meant. <she kisses him hard> I love you. I don't want to have to worry about leaving you, getting too hurt to... <flushes> ...have children or something... <looks away, embarrassed> But it's the only way I can make money. I have no other skills. And... if I don't work, I'll just be a lazy bum. And no one likes a lazy bum. 
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: Your bum is not lazy; it's very nice.  And I love you no matter what.  We can find another job for you, I'm sure, if it bothers you so much.  <nuzzles her neck and kisses it briefly>  It may not be as glamorous and deadly, but...I don't like the idea of you doing this either.  <sighs> Though...speaking of leaving...<rubs the back of his neck>
[01:31] arynwyn: Hal: <nuzzles him back, but stops> Speaking of leaving? What? Who's leaving?
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <takes both her hands in his> I am...for a few days.  There's something I've been...putting off.  And I have to see to it alone.  But I promise, it's not dangerous...really...<cough>, and I'll bring you back a souvenir.  Flowers, at least.
[01:34] arynwyn: Hal: Oh. <wilts in her chair> Oh. Okay. A few days? So... three? Or more? 
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <shrugs> However long it takes.  This is the sort of thing...it shouldn't be rushed.  But I'm not leaving right this second.  I won't go until tomorrow.  ...in the meantime, how about some hot passionate...sleeping?  I'm exhausted. <wan smile>
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm right there with you, Ash.  though I don't know why))
[01:36] arynwyn: (( Sleep? ))
[01:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I've been trying not to doze off for the last hour or so; when I'm typing or reading what you're written, it's no problem, but the inbetweens are all heavy eyelids and nodding))
[01:37] arynwyn: Hal: <nods> Sleep sounds good... <she struggles to stand, wincing> I'm curious about where you're going... you're being so mysterious about it. But I won't ask. I trust you to tell me what you can.
[01:37] Chaos Angel Sox: *you've))
[01:37] arynwyn: (( Gunna go nap then? ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: It'll be a surprise.  You'll like it.  <carefully picks her up to carry her upstairs>
 
 ((yeah I think so.  I have one thing I have to do today, and it shouldn't take long; probably stop by the store on my way back from it so I can have cereal again, but other than that, I've got all day free and clear. ))
[01:39] arynwyn: Hal: <nods and nuzzles his neck> I'd rather you stay with me, but... <sigh> Okay.
[01:40] arynwyn: (( Okies. Uhm... Tim'll be going to bed in a few hours and I'll be getting back on after that. When do you think you'll be on again? ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm...in a few hours? ^_^;  I need at least 4 hours for sleepings; I know that'll put it near midnight your time though...))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( Mkay. I'll be on. ^^ ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee. <huggles>))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( <huggles> happy sleepings! ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((i'll leave AIM up.  feel free to babble if you want :D ))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( <laugh> okies. ))
[01:50] arynwyn: going to take a nap too. should be back on by midnight. <huggles>

[06:20] arynwyn: <huggles>
[06:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <super-sneaky-pounce-huggles>
[06:20] arynwyn: Mwahaha!!
[06:20] Chaos Angel Sox: :P
[06:20] Chaos Angel Sox: She ees too clever! Vee are dooooomed!
[06:20] arynwyn: Just closed my internet window and saw you were typing.
[06:20] arynwyn: <giggles>
[06:20] arynwyn: Happy sleepings?
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: oh so good.  I feel more awake than I have in...weeks it seems like.
[06:21] arynwyn: Nice!!
[06:21] arynwyn: What time is your thing? Whatever it is you have to do?
[06:22] Chaos Angel Sox: and I ponder the death and rapid consumption of spiral mac.
 
 Oh I can do it anytime between 9 AM and 4 PM my time.
[06:22] arynwyn: Okies.
[06:22] arynwyn: Well, I'm ready for RP when you are. I just finished my chicken nuggets so I'm good. ^^
[06:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> So long as you don't mind my being in and out, I'm good to go.  :)  Vere shall vee beegin?
[06:24] arynwyn: Uhm. We can either do everyone seeing Hal or we can skip to the Ash thing.
[06:24] arynwyn: Or something else? I dunno.
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh yes! Hal needs to tell everyone that ding, dong the witch is dead!  Or something like that.
[06:25] arynwyn: <laugh> okies.
[06:26] arynwyn: She's going to sleep well into the afternoon... so, I can start with her coming down to the common room.
[06:26] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod>
[06:27] arynwyn: Hal: <dresses in some loose cloth clothing and finger-combs her hair, then slips down the stairs, grimacing in pain, a hand pressed over her stomach. she gives her best attempt at a smile as she comes into the room>
[06:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I send to you an email. yes.))
[06:29] arynwyn: (( Bleh... it makes me so sad that now I can hear a classical music piece and not know exactly what it is... <sigh> ))
[06:29] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[06:30] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Nice. Desktop. Awesome. But you're cute!! ))
[06:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Hey, there she is! <she looks over from the stove where, for lack of anything else to do, she's trying to make a little snacky hors'd'ouevres thing without cremating it>
 Lore: <looks over at Hal and just waits>
 Ash: <follows her downstairs, still yawning a little>
 Fang: <looks at Hal, then at his master, and then curls up at the bottom of the stairs (but off to one side so as to be out of the way)>
[06:36] arynwyn: Hal: <goes to the table and takes a seat> It's done. He won't be marrying anyone now. So no more trying to kidnap Ari, no more bickering, no more... <she lays her head down on the table>
 Kil: <was watching Kat cook. he looks over to Hal and nods> We owe you one, Hal. Really.
 Ari: <begins to cry silently in relief>
 Char: <seems to be processing the info, staring down at the table>
[06:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <sits next to her and puts an arm around her back>
 Kat: <heaves a sigh> Thank the light. ...You okay, Hal?
 Lore: <heaves an ever larger sigh of relief, then goes over to Ari to hold her>
[06:39] arynwyn: (( Oh... are we saying the spell ended with his death? ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((If it didn't end immediately, it probably would've faded off by now; he died several hours ago.  So Mommy & Daddy should be back to normal either way))
[06:42] arynwyn: Hal: I got hit. In the stomach. <pats the wound> But I should be okay. Hurts like hell though. <she leans back up and then rests against Ash> When do you leave?
 Ari: <smiles up at Lore, her eyes shining with tears> It's over. Thank the gods. <hugs him tightly>
 Kil: <leans against the counter, running through a list of things they can do for/give Hal>
 Char: I wonder if our parents are back to normal... <she stands and heads up to her room for parchment and quill>
[06:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks at Ash at the "when do you leave" comment; he's not surprised by this.  He quickly returns his attention to Ari though, smiling reassuringly at her>
 Kat: <casts a healing spell on Hal> ...any better, Hal?
 Ash: <holds Lore's gaze for that brief moment then kisses Hal's forehead> I'm leaving tomorrow.  Even with this dealt with...if something else happens and I'm not prepared, I'd feel terrible.
 Kat: Wait, what? Leaving? <she missed Hal's comment during her chanting the healing spell> Why are you leaving, Ash?
 
[06:49] arynwyn: Hal: <feels the pain subside> Wow, thanks Kat... That's great. <she turns back to Ash and nods, but sighs too> Okay. Then let's spend the day together? <nuzzles his neck>
 Ari: <wipes the last of her tears away and leans up to kiss Lore. she still feels awkward about everything, but she does her best to push it aside>
 Char: <scribbling the letter> Arianna, Killian... either of you want to say anything to our parents?
 Kil: <scowls a little> Best wishes and good riddance? <sighs> No, nothing.
 Ari: <shakes her head> Not really... I'm not sure I'll speak to them again until they apologize, and that's not very likely to happen...
[06:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <kisses Ari back>
 Kat: Aaaaassshhh...
 Ash: <snuggles Hal> That was my plan.  <as Kat whines at him, he addresses her without taking his eyes off Hallie> I have...things to see to.  I won't be gone too long....I hope.
 Lore: <realizes something and whispers to Ari> ...so does this mean the engagement's off?  I mean...keeping your parents off your back was more important than keeping my parents off mine... and if it's off, I still stake my claim to dating you, at least.
 Kat: <pouts...and then goes to rescue her food with a muttered invective>
[06:56] arynwyn: (( <giggles at Kat> ))
[06:59] arynwyn: Hal: <sighs again> What do you want to do? Honestly, I wouldn't mind going back to bed... I'm still wiped, and sleeping with you is heaven. <she smiles and kisses his neck>
 Char: <finishes the letter and steps out to find a mailbox>
 Ari: <shrugs> I don't care either way. My parents will still pressure me to marry, but at least it's not him. We can keep it up, if you want your mother to leave you alone. I leave it up to you.
 
[07:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: That's fine.  As long as I'm with you....<soft smile>
 Lore: ...let's just leave it as it is then, hm?  Just to cover the bases. <kisses her forehead>
 Kat: ...<takes a bite of one of her snacky things and doesn't immediately wince> Well...they're not blackened and they taste okay.  Bit on the bland side, but...I think I actually made something edible.
 Lore: That's a first.
 Kat: ;P
 Ash: <chuckles lightly>
[07:06] arynwyn: Hal: <nods and stands, tugging Ash up with her. she heads to the stairs, yawning, and waves over her shoulder> 
 Ari: <nods> Night Hal. Sweet dreams. <snuggles against Lore>
 Kil: <seems to be brooding. he pushes away from the counter and says to Kat> I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later. <he starts for the door>
[07:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <waves also and keeps one arm around her waist as they go back upstairs>
 Lore: <seems perfectly content to just hold Ari>
 Kat: <looks at Kil confused> Everything okay?
[07:10] arynwyn: Kil: <nods> Fine. <steps out the door and shuts it harder than necessary>
[07:10] arynwyn: (( FF then? ))
[07:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <blink> 
 
 ((<nod nod> to whens?))
[07:11] arynwyn: (( Uhm, Ash's return? ))
[07:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((what's got Kil all upset? >.>))
[07:12] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Memories of home. Nothing big. He's just really pissed at the 'rents. ))
[07:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah okay.  Roight, off to Ash's return.  let me t'ink...))
[07:13] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[07:16] Chaos Angel Sox: <So it's several days later, middle of the afternoon.  Lore's down in his shop working his ass off to replace the lost potions still, though a good number of the most popular ones are restocked.  Kat's begging cooking lessons out of Ari, and Fang is sort of idly prowling the shop.  Ash slips quietly in the back door, leaving it open a crack...but he's not quiet enough, considering Kat's in the same room>
 Kat: Ash! <tackle-hug - and yes, her exclamation is loud enough to be heard by pretty much everyone except Lore>
[07:20] arynwyn: Hal: <flies (almost literally) down the stairs and pushes Kat out of the way> ASH! <hugs him tighter than he's ever been hugged and then gives him a hard, deep kiss> 
 Ari: <had been deciding what to teach Kat, she turns and smiles> Ash! You're back! Your choice for dinner and dessert. 
 Kil: <comes down the stairs much slower than Hal and grins> Welcome back, Ash.
 Char: <hears the commotion from her room and desperately wants to join, but decides against it. she's new and not welcome, she tells herself>
[07:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <grins as Hal comes tearing down the stairs, and as soon as she starts kissing him, everyone else pretty much ceases to exist>
 Kat: <grins at the two> They're so cute.
 Ash: <pulls away with no small reluctance> So, I got it all taken care of.  And I come back with not only a new friend but with a sort of...communal souvenir. <grin>
 Kat: What the....?  <leans over to Ari> I think her kiss shorted his brain out...
[07:24] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and waits quietly>
 Hal: <bounces up and down> Well, out with it! I've been DYING of curiosity! C'mon!
 Kil: <chuckles and steps over to wrap his arm around Kat and kiss her cheek>
[07:25] arynwyn: *kisses
[07:26] arynwyn: (( Er, I suppose either works. >.< ))
[07:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <grins at Killian>
 Ash: <smiles at Hal> ...well, we can't have that...<he whistles sharply, and a wolf trots in the back door he left open.  She's mostly silver, with white tummy, chest and muzzle, and there's a black stripe along her back, from the top of her head to the tip of her tail> This is Claudia.  Claudia, this is Hallie.  I told you about her. <the wolf sniffs at Hallie, just as four wolf pups come charging in behind her; they're various shades of silver and black.  One runs into Claudia's back leg and bounces off; the rest immediately split up and start sniffing people and things> ...I haven't named the pups yet.  I thought I'd let the girls..er..women of the household do that. <he smiles>
[07:33] arynwyn: Hal: <squeals in delight and drops to her knees to hug Claudia (obviously not afraid) then picks up one of the puppies> They are so CUTE! 
 Ari: <sets her spoon down, grinning, and goes over to fawn over the pups as well> These are adorable! 
 Kil: <chuckles and watches the girls, stepping in to scratch at Claudia's head>
 Char: <hears the squeal and her curiosity gets the better of her. she steps out of her room and down the hall to the stairs, peering over the railing. she smiles down at the group wistfully, but doesn't descend>
[07:41] Chaos Angel Sox: <The puppy in Hal's arms seems to be studying her with curiosity, then tries to claw at her nose as if to ask "Are you prey? I'm not sure".  The one at Ari's feet does his best to growl ferociously, but it's still too small and cute sounding. This pup launches himself at her in an attempt to bring down prey and just sort of lands on one of her feet.  A third puppy is attempting to navigate the stairs, but each stair takes a massive leap.  The fourth puppy, at his mother's feet, looks around and then hides behind Ash.  Claudia starts a little as Hal hugs her and again as Kil scratches her head, but is quiet and doesn't growl or try to attack>
 Ash: She's still getting used to elves.  The pups adapt pretty quickly though.  These two are boys <indicating the one by Ari and the one hiding behind him> and the others <Hal's and the one on the stairs> are girls.
 Kat: <giggles at the puppy trying to "attack" Ari> You tamed a mother wolf with pups for your pet?
 Ash: <shrugs> She just sort of...spoke to me.  I hung around for a few days, and a father never showed up.  I don't think her mate's still alive. <pets Claudia's back> I also think she may have lost a pup or two; she was extra protective of these.
 Kat: Ah.  No wonder she "spoke" to you then...
 Ash: <nods and tries to make sure he doesn't step on the puppy under his feet>
[07:45] arynwyn: Hal: <giggles at the pup and nuzzles her, stroking her head and back. she stands up, still holding her, and kisses Ash again> This is amazing, Ash! I never really thought a lot about Hunters, but... this is impressive! 
 Ari: <laughs and bends down to pick up the pup, playing with him and letting him chomp at her fingers> 
 Char: <sits down on the top step and silently urges the little pup up the steps> Come on sweety! You can make it!
[07:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: Well the pups aren't my pets...but since they listen to Claudia and she is...<shrugs and pets the puppy she's holding> They need names though.  I'm bad at this.  I named Claudia because she tried to claw my face off. <grins sheepishly>
 Kat: Oh light, we're going to need to have so much meat in the house...a wolf, a lynx and four pups! 
 Ash: I'll go out hunting more to help out.  After all, I should be looking after my own pet and her family.
 <The pup trying to get up the stairs leaps and doesn't quite make it; it scrabbles a little, clawing little grooves in the wood, then falls.  It shakes its head and tries again, making it this time.  The puppy at Ash's feet nips at his ankles, not that it's able to get through the leather of his boots; it seems to mostly just want attention anyway.  The puppy in Hal's arms closes its eyes and enjoys the attention.  The puppy Ari's holding chews on one of her fingers a little, not really breaking skin, then licks at her hand and squirms>
[07:53] arynwyn: (( <giggles> You're making me want a puppy!! ))
[07:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((^_^))
[07:57] arynwyn: Hal: <giggles and sits down in a chair with the pup and begins to work on a name fo her> Hmm...
 Ari: <steps into the kitchen with her pup, asking> Have they eaten today? We have enough meat to feed them and still have some for dinner I think...
 Char: <scoops the pup up in her arms and giggles quietly> You are so sweet! <she nuzzles the wolf and kisses its nose>
 Kil: <bends down and grabs the last pup and ruffles his fur, then hands him to Kat, looking up the stairs at Charise> You can come down you know. 
 Char: <freezes> Oh, I... I was just seeing what the commotion was about...
[07:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((you know I'd always planned for there to be 4 pups, but now it works out perfectly that each woman can name a puppy... ^_^))
[07:59] arynwyn: (( <grin> I wondered if you did that on purpose. ^^ ))
[07:59] arynwyn: (( Not sure it's fair that I would get to name 3/4 of the pups though. >.> ))
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: <the puppy Charise is holding sneezes as she kisses her nose, then squirms out of her grasp and lands on her lap.  It curls up on her lap and sits there regally as if to say "I have claimed this lap as mine">
 Ash: They could do with some food; the pups are still drinking a lot of milk <pets Claudia> but I've seen them catch and eat mice....well once in a while.  They're still not great at stalking prey...or rather, at catching it.
 Kat: <lifts the puppy Kil handed her into the air and coos at him> Look! Flying pup! <then pulls the pup down to hug>
 <this puppy seemed very uneasy being lifted so high, but now that he's being snuggled, he seems a little calmer>
 Ash: Please be very careful with the pups.  Claudia's still pretty protective of them; she trusts me to look after them too, you know.
 Kat: He's fine, see?
 <Claudia prowls over near Hal's chair and lays down.  The puppy in Ari's arms squirms to get down.  The puppy Hal has tries to get onto the table>
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's fine. ^_^ I named their mother after all. :) ))
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: *She curls up on her lap. ...I'm still calling each puppy "it" despite having established gender.. :P ))
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shares Dibs>))
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: *and puppy seems very uneasy...yeesh.))
[08:10] arynwyn: Hal: <seems to have drifted off into thought. the puppy easily pulls from her grasp and climbs onto the table. she watches it, a soft smile on her face>
 Ari: <sets her pup down and gets out a large, flat bowl. she dumps some milk in it, then begins chopping meat up in little pieces to put into it. she also cuts up some in larger hunks and places it on a plate. she sets the bowl and the meat out over by Claudia, then goes to find Lore>
 Char: <grins at her pup, stroking her fur, but finally carries it down to the milk bowl. she heads back up to her room>
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <the pup Char set down lopes after her and starts tackling the stairs again>
 Ash: <scritches Claudia and bends to kiss Hal in her seat, reaching out with one hand to lift the puppy off the table.  When he finishes kissing Hal, he sets the puppy down near the bowl gently>
 <Ari's puppy bounds over to the bowl and starts digging milk soaked meat out to chew on.  Hal's pup starts lapping up milk>
 Kat: <sets her puppy down by the milk bowl and scritches him as he starts drinking>  We're missing one...
 Ash: <laughs at the struggling pup at the stairs> C'mere, you.  You can work out stairs later.  <he lifts her and sets her at the bowl>
 <she runs back to the stairs>
 Ash: Or not.... <he reaches into his pack and pulls out some meat. He squats down near Claudia and feeds her from his hand, petting her while he does so> Don't worry <he tells the wolf mother> I'll make sure that one gets some food.
 
 Fang: <looks at Ari as she enters the shop>
 Lore: <down in his lab, he has a stockpile of potions near him and is still working>
 
[08:21] arynwyn: Hal: <kisses Ash and smiles lightly> They're adorable. <seems kind of out of it still>
 Kil: <sits down at the table and watches the pups eat>
 Char: <goes back to her room and shuts the door>
 
 Ari: <steps down into the lab quietly> Lore? Ash is home. And he brought a friend. Er... five friends, really. <she walks over to him and puts an arm around his waist, looking at what he's doing>
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <sits next to her> You okay, love?
 
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ack))
[08:22] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[08:24] Chaos Angel Sox: <the puppies growl at one another and occasionally try to fight the others away from their parts of the bowl.  A fight breaks out between Ari and Hal's puppies>
 Kat: <giggles and separates the two, snatching Ari's pup up> No way to treat a lady, young man!  <sets him down away from Hal's pup, who's already gone back to eating>
 
 Lore: Hm? ...wait, 5?  How many pets did he tame? <sets the flask down he was holding and pulls his gloves off>
[08:25] arynwyn: Hal: <nods> I just... am thinking too hard. I'm glad you're back. <she leans up and kisses him on the cheek> I'll be upstairs, okay? Come see me when you get a chance.
 
 Ari: <smiles> A mother wolf and four pups. I see you knew where he was off to. <leans up and kisses him gently>
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <stands> Right now works.  Claudia knows how to look after her pups, after all.  <Claudia looks up at hearing her name, then goes back to her pups>
 Kat: I have no idea what to name this one <she squeals, petting her pup>  Help me, Killian? <she looks at him and bats her eyelashes>
 
 Lore: <kisses her back and then nods> I told him that if things continued the way they have been lately, two pets would be better than one, or none.  He'd been putting it off anyway, but that's mostly 'cause he just didn't want to leave Hal for longer than 5 minutes. <chuckles>  A wolf, huh?  That makes sense for him.  But pups?  Good gods...<pulls his leather apron off> Okay well if I'm going to be running a zoo, I might as well go see these new moochers of my hospitality. <grins at her>
[08:33] arynwyn: Hal: <slips into their room and lays down on the bed, snuggling into the pillow. she waits for Ash to make his way up>
 
 Kil: <chuckles and kisses Kat> Sure. I'm no good at names though... <he ruffles the wolf's fur again> 
 
 Ari: <chuckles and heads back up to the shop and into the commons room> Lore's coming up. <she goes back into the kitchen and puts on some tea for him>
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <enters and shuts the door behind him quietly.  He sits on the bed next to her> So what's going on, love?  Don't tell me you're allergic...
 
 Kat: He seems to be the shy one; he was the one hiding behind Ash when they got here. <thinking out loud>
 
 Lore: <pushes his way into the commons> ...okay so where'd Ash go?
 Kat: Oh there you are!  He went upstairs with Hal...already. <giggles and picks up her pup> Lookie!  Aren't they adorable?! <kisses the wolf pup's head and sets him back down to finish eating>
 Lore: Oh gods, she's going to be overwhelmed with cute...
[08:43] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles lightly and shakes her head> No, I'm not allergic. It's nothing like that. I'm... fine, really. I'm just being silly. <she sits up and hugs him tightly>
 
 Kil: <scratches his chin and thinks> Uh... Er... 
 
 Ari: <grins and brings Lore a cup of tea> They are very cute. <she strokes Claudia's head gently>
[08:43] arynwyn: (( Do you have more you want to do or should we FF? )
[08:43] arynwyn: ))
[08:43] arynwyn: (( I'm completely blanking on names right now too... >.> ))
[08:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: Well....why don't you tell me what you're thinking, and I'll decide whether or not you're being silly? <patting her back>
 
 ((Yeah the names'll have to wait, I guess ^_^;; Ash is kind of worried about Hal, but other than that, no I just wanted to get Ash his pet and show off squirming, yapping cuteness))
[08:45] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[08:46] arynwyn: Hal: It's stupid, really... I guess I'm just kind of jealous. They're going to get all of your attention... <shakes her head> I'm sorry. I've just missed you so much. More than you know.
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjvCRPrCo)(Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjvCRPrCo)http://youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjvCRPrCo ))
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: They won't get all of it, I promise.  <leans down to kiss her> And they won't get the kinds of attention you will.  I can guarantee that.
[08:49] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[08:49] arynwyn: Hal: <grins> What kind of attention would that be? <raises an eyebrow>
[08:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <glances at the door briefly then back at her, a wide grin on his face> Should I demonstrate? <reaching to pull her in closer>  It's been...what? the better part of a week?
[08:52] arynwyn: Hal: <nods> Far too long... <presses up against him and kisses his neck>
[08:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: I thought about you all the time when I was gone, you know <he says into her hair>
[08:56] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles> I did too. All I did was lay in bed and think of you. I thought maybe I had dreamt you up.
[08:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <chuckles> Awfully long dream then...and detailed. <fiddling with her clothes as he talks> But I know I didn't just imagine you.  Know why? <grin>
[08:58] arynwyn: Hal: <slips out of her clothes and starts in on his, rubbing his skin with her hands> Why's that? <kisses his neck again>
[09:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <runs his hand along her side, down to her thigh> 'cause you're better than any dream I could ever have. <kissing down along her skin, starting at her neck>
[09:02] arynwyn: Hal: <shivers and grins, tugging his shirt off> You're so sweet... <she pulls him down in a laying position with her, kissing him>
[09:03] arynwyn: (( I've kind of run out of ideas. >.> Do you have anything? ))
[09:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((umm...for plot or character development? Not really ^_^;;))
[09:04] arynwyn: (( Either. Damn. ))
[09:04] arynwyn: (( Can't decide if I should have Charise leave... Uhm, I could always do the return of Syl. Though she'll just be depressed/depressing... ))
[09:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah, but everyone's all happy.  We gotta fix that somehow...))
[09:05] arynwyn: (( <laugh> My thought exactly. But I don't think that Syl will really bring everyone down... ))
[09:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We don't have to rain on everyone's parade all at once.))
[09:06] arynwyn: (( want me to have her show up then? ))
[09:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((:D))
[09:06] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk ))
[09:07] arynwyn: Syl: <slips her key into the backdoor and unlocks it. she pushes the door open and tenatively looks around> ...Katalya?...
[09:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm...to make Kat easy to find or not....))
[09:08] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[09:08] arynwyn: (( Lore knows Syl, yes? ))
[09:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> Should she be upstairs with Kil? <evil grin>  And yeah, Syloren was in the guild at the same time as Sylvera, before he dropped out to focus on running his business.))
[09:09] arynwyn: (( Okies. And if you want. She's just going to hang out in the common room until Kat appears though... ))
[09:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm.  Okee))
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <not long after Syl arrives, Kat comes downstairs wearing her summer bathrobe; her hair's mussed and she's humming.  She blinks in shock when she sees Sylvera> Syl?! <tackle-hugs> I didn't think you'd ever come back!!
 <There's a crash from the shop> Lore: <can be heard cursing> Puppies in an alchemy shop! Bad combination! ...NO, DON'T DRINK THAT!!
[09:13] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ^_^; ))
[09:14] arynwyn: Syl: <drops her sword and shield with a clash and hugs Kat, tears leaking down her face. she's bruised and cut and scarred badly, and there's dried blood in her hair, but she seems devoid of any serious injuries> Katalya!... <she clings to her friend a few moments before pulling away> He... he's dead. I... killed him. I had to...
[09:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oh...gods, I'm sorry, Syl.  Sit down, sit down.  I'll get some tea or coffee or something.  Wine?  We have some that Lore hasn't tampered with...
 Lore: <as if on cue, he comes into the commons carrying a puppy in each hand; the one in his left hand is chewing on his arm> Okay, no more puppies in the shop! This one nearly got...<blinks at Syl, coming to a stop> Sylvera? That you?  
 Puppy in Lore's left hand: <chew chew chew>
 Puppy in Lore's right hand: <squirm squirm squirm>
[09:20] arynwyn: Syl: <bends to pick up her equipment, then collapses in a chair> Wine... or something stronger... something potent and deadly, maybe. <looks over at Lore and the puppies. she seems to have a constant deer-in-the-headlights look> Yeah, it's me... 
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - applying for a new job while we do this ^_^ ))
[09:22] arynwyn: (( no worries! and I wish you luck! not that you'd need it, but... it doesn't hurt. ))
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Long time no see.  You look...um.... <sets the puppies down and they scamper off; the one in his left hand (previously known as Kat's puppy), goes over to sniff at Syl>
 Kat: <nods and goes to get the wine>
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((If I get this job, I can talk to you while I'm at work. ^_^ When I'm not, y'know, working))
[09:24] arynwyn: Syl: Like shit. Yeah, I know... <she looks down at the pup but doesn't move to pet it> I've slept on the street for the past three days. I've been begging for food. <she sighs> I'm sorry to just show up like this, but I had no where else to go. If you don't want me to stay, that's fine. I can go. Maybe there's a place I can stay at the training center in Farstriders... 
[09:25] arynwyn: (( oooo! nice! what would you  be doing? ))
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'd be the schlub who sits in the computer labs in case someone needs help with something: printer's down or why can't I get this program to do this or something like that.  A job where I can sit and be online and get paid for it.  And paid more than minimum wage too >.>  I'm hoping for graveyard shifts: midnight to 8 am.  Aside from being when I'm normally conscious anyway, I get $1 more per hour.))
[09:28] arynwyn: (( niiiice!! ))
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: You know you're welcome here, Sylvera.  Hell, you're still part of Steelbound.  This is your home.  You should've come here first.
 Kat: He's right you know.  <pulling the cork out of the bottle of wine with her teeth>  Silly girl.
 Lore: <finally notices Kat's appearance> So, how's Killian doing, Talya?
 Kat: <spits the cork out and grins> He's still catching his breath.  Let me get a glass...<setting the wine on the table near Syl>
[09:29] arynwyn: (( <mutters about the "joys" of being a woman...> ))
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww. <hershey's kisses>))
[09:29] arynwyn: (( thanks. >.< ))
[09:31] arynwyn: Syl: <sighs> I had too much pride to come here first. <shakes her head and looks away> Who's Killian? <starts pulling off her excess armor: shoulder pads, gloves, bracers, etc (and keep in mind she's wearing that terribly sexy armor...)>
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sighs and puts the glass in front of Syl then pours her some wine> Pride goeth before the fall, Syl...as for Killian, he's...
 Lore: Talya's latest...
 Kat: <cuts him off before he can finish that>...boyfriend, thank you.  Don't you have a shop to run?
 Lore: <watching Syl pulling off armor, he clears his throat> Umm...yeah...better get back to that...<think: damn that armor is *hot*...I wonder what Ari'd look like in it...?; he nearly steps on a pup on his way back to the shop>
[09:36] arynwyn: Syl: Thanks. <takes the glass and chugs the wine, draining the glass before setting it down> What happened to Sasuke? I thought you two were a thing or something? Thus the "promise"... <glares down at the table>
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sits down next to her> I got sick of feeling used.  I don't even know what he was using me for - he hadn't been around in months.  He's out of the guild now too.  ((well, in RP anyway))
[09:43] arynwyn: Syl: <nods and pours herself another glass of wine> Thanks for the drink. <she chugs this glass too> Men are more vile than the Scourge... <scowls a moment, then sighs> I'm sorry. I'm sure Killian is very... nice. 
[09:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: ...he's a sweetie. <adjusts her robe, which was threatening to fall open> But I understand why you're...upset.  You have every right to be, after all that happened.  I'm just...I'm just glad you came back.
[09:48] arynwyn: Syl: ...me too... <she sighs> Do you want to know everything that happened? <she leans back in her chair and closes her eyes as the wine hits her, feeling dizzy and lightheaded> Maybe over some food... I haven't really eaten in a few days... 
[09:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <nods> Hold on, I can reheat some leftovers.  I'd make you something fresh, but I'll bet you'd prefer food that's not charred and smoking...<standing and moving to the stove>
[09:57] arynwyn: Syl: Right now even just bread and cheese sounds good... <she opens her eyes> He wanted me to "break" him... I was supposed to dominate him and treat him as he did me... It was a new mind game, another form of torture. But I did it. I fought him and beat him, then took him out to the Ghostlands and tied him up. I left him for days without food or water... <begins to cry quietly> And when I went back, I beat him and tortured me, just as he had done to me so many times... And he finally begged for mercy. He said that it had all been a test... a trail to prove my love to him. <takes a shaky breath> Apparently I passed. But... I cracked. I couldn't accept that answer. I couldn't grasp that he loved me yet he put me through all of that. And I... I just killed him. <she begins to sob, her arms on the table, her face in her arms. after a few moments she regains control and starts again> I wandered through the Ghostlands for a day or so, then headed back to the city. And now here I am...
[09:58] arynwyn: *and tortured him
[10:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <stops what she's doing to stare at Sylvera, quietly horrified> ...Light, Syl, that...that's just...I'm so sorry.  I can't believe he'd make you do all of that...<goes back to the leftovers before they burn, then scoops them onto a plate and sets it in front of her with some silverware>...and I'm sorry you had to go through all of that.
[10:02] arynwyn: Syl: <wipes at her tears and stares at the food a moment, her appetite gone. but she doesn't want to be rude, so she finally begins to eat. after a few bites, her hunger comes back and she picks up her pace, scarfing down the food. she's done in just a couple of minutes> Do you think I'll ever be... normal... again? <she looks up at Kat>
[10:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I think it's possible. <faint smile>  But not if you let this fester in you.  You have to acknowledge it was a bad spot in your life, dark times, and then let it go.  Don't let all of the shit he put you through be what defines your life, hm?
[10:08] arynwyn: Syl: <thinks for a few moments, then sighs and nods> I just feel so... dirty and... I just keep seeing his face, when he died... It makes me sick. It makes me think there's something terribly wrong with me, that I was able to do that... <she shivers> Do you think... do you see me the same as you always have? Knowing that?
[10:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: You're still my friend, Syl.  You went through hell, and I didn't make it much easier on you, I don't think, and I'm sorry for that.  But you did what you had to, in order to get through it.  I don't think it makes you evil or broken.
[10:13] arynwyn: Syl: <nods again, then stands shakily> I'm... going to rest, I think. Thank you for the food. <she bends down to gather her armor, and half-collapses> Ugh... Sorry... <she struggles to stand back up>
[10:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <goes around the table to help her up> Sorry? For what? Come on, your room's still empty.  When you're feeling better, I'll introduce you around; we're a regular boarding house all of a sudden, only no one pays rent. <faint chuckle>  And I'll bring your armor up once we get you tucked in, okay?
[10:16] arynwyn: Syl: <gives up on her armor and leans heavily on Kat> Thanks. For everything. Mostly, for being my friend. I desperately need a friend right now... <more tears> I feel so alone. More alone than when my family died, even. <she heads towards the stairs>
[10:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: You're welcome; and trust me, you're gonna have friends coming out your ears around here.  Hell, we've got puppies!  They love everyone, especially if you feed them.  But I really don't think you'll have trouble making friends, and there are so many people here, you're unlikely to be alone much.  Couple weeks from now you'll probably go nuts telling people to leave you alone. ^_^
[10:20] arynwyn: Syl: <smiles> I hope so. I just hope no one thinks I'm a freak... You make friends so easily, and I used to, to an extent, but now... I just hope so. <she finds her door and opens it, looking around. there's a thin layer of dust on everything> Wow, how long has it been?...
[10:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Long time, sweetie.  Sorry, I should've dusted or something...we can open the window if you want.
[10:23] arynwyn: Syl: <shakes her head> You're not my maid. <she strips off more armor and heads to the bed> I'm so tired... <she falls onto it and lays there> So nice... a real bed... Mmm...
[10:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: If you're conscious in a few hours, dinner should be going.  You can meet the whole crew...and if not, we'll save something for you.  I'll make sure.
[10:25] arynwyn: Syl: <nods and yawns> Doubt I'll be up by then... maybe not until tomorrow... <snuggles into the pillows> Thanks again, Kat...
[10:26] arynwyn: (( Dootedoo... now what? ))
[10:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: You're welcome. <smiles and shuts the door behind her quietly as she ducks out>
 
 ((Hmm. ....dunno.))
[10:26] arynwyn: (( Bored? >.< ))
[10:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, just frustrated that I can't think of anything to throw at people.  <frowns>  Too much happiness!
 All the Characters: WE LIKE BEING HAPPY!
 Me: Yes, I know, but happiness doesn't DO anything...
[10:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[10:29] arynwyn: (( <LOL> I know what you mean... Last night I even thought of killing off a char just to make waves... >.> ))
[10:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm sure if I think about it, I can come up with some amusing but ultimately harmless mischief.  It's why this all happens in an alchemy shop to begin with...))
[10:30] arynwyn: (( Heh, I wonder if the Gods and Fate sit around thinking this stuff. "But happy people are boring! Let's throw something at them." ))
[10:31] arynwyn: (( Haha, true. We could... have Ari try and sell a cake, but it doesn't sell, so she brings it in for dessert, but one of the puppies tipped a potion into it... ))
[10:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> I bet they do...))
[10:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo...hmmm, which potion...or should we concoct a new one? <giggles>))
[10:31] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Uhm... like what?... Hm... ))
[10:32] arynwyn: (( afk a few ))
[10:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[10:37] arynwyn: (( MKay, back. ))
[10:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<tackle-hugs>))
[10:38] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[10:38] arynwyn: (( So... potions... ))
[10:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm....well there's still the gender-swapping potion...or we could do something new, like...umm....<tink>))
[10:39] arynwyn: (( I'm not sure I'm up for the gender one... my brain is fuzzy from tiredness... >.< ))
[10:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((you can always sleep, sweetie.  It's almost 5 Am there, yes?))
[10:40] arynwyn: (( Yep. But I'm not that sleepy yet. Tired, but not sleepy, know what I mean. >.< ))
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah. <hugs>))
[10:41] arynwyn: (( How do I look back at your entries from long ago? I wanna read the potions you put... <hugs> ))
[10:41] arynwyn: (( On LJ I mean. ))
[10:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It should be under the wow tag - click on wow at the bottom of my most recent entry and see if that entry comes up along with all the other wow tagged entries; if not, I'll track it down and link it))
[10:42] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<grooves>))
[10:44] arynwyn: (( Hehe. I can't seem to find it... ))
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops, it's not wow tagged.  drat it.  oh well hold on))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( Oh well. Anyway. ))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( eh, it's okay ))
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://sockschan.livejournal.com/459931.html)http://sockschan.livejournal.com/459931.html
[10:47] arynwyn: (( Hmmm.... Okay, well, I dunno. Maybe a different plan is needed. ))
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmmmmmmm...<tink tink tink>
[10:49] arynwyn: Oh, I wanted to ask... should I keep Charise around or no? 
[10:49] arynwyn: Deja vu. >.>
[10:50] Chaos Angel Sox: It's your call, but I don't see why she couldn't stay.  Such meeean parents
[10:50] arynwyn: Hm, okay.
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Is it bad my immediate reaction to their being single women in the house is "Must make guys for them...."
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: *there
[10:51] arynwyn: No. That's actually why I asked. I just didn't want to say, "Do you want to mak a guy for Charise?" >.<
[10:51] arynwyn: <giggle>
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: maybe Lore should make a libido-dampening potion for a change...
[10:52] arynwyn: <laugh>
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! A potion that simulates the effects of PMS/menstruation in men!  ...no, he wouldn't make that, even if he could ^_^; 
[10:53] arynwyn: o_o
[10:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Um, yeah.  NO.  Not happening.
[10:53] arynwyn: <giggle>
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'm working on the amnesia potion right now anyway.  Maybe Ari and Char's parents really *do* need to just forget about them...
[10:54] arynwyn: More than likely it would be the best... they are going to disown them anyway, for staying in the city, opening a pastry business, etc... >.>
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: That means I get to keep her, then? <grin>
[10:56] arynwyn: Heh, you get to keep her anyway, if you want her. ( Deja vu again. >.> ) She loves you, duh.
[10:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <pounces Ari> Yay! :3
 Hmmm....so let's see.  Charise would want a lot of attention....
[10:57] arynwyn: <nodnod> 
[10:58] arynwyn: Ari: Whee! <huggles Lore>
[10:58] arynwyn: <snerk> Syl is also single. =P
[11:01] Chaos Angel Sox: So none of this aloof, mysterious stranger bit for Charise, but maybe for Syl....OH! Oh! Can I do this for Syl? Or Chari, either...I have this really goofy idea! :3
 I want to have a cat burglar break in through her bedroom window to steal stuff, only he's more caught up in the drama and theatrics of it than in actually being a good thief, so he's got a black mask and a big black hat and a black cape and all that.  And he thinks he's some sort of suave super-thief who can seduce unwitting maidens into letting him nick their jewelry, only he's actually really clumsy and keeps tripping over things, and he's not good at seduction either.
[11:02] arynwyn: <ROFL>
[11:03] arynwyn: That would be better Charise, I think... She would laugh her ass off at him...
[11:04] arynwyn: *for Charise
[11:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Okee ^_^ <giggles> One inept cat burglar for Char. :) 
[11:04] arynwyn: <giggles> Yay!
[11:07] Chaos Angel Sox: I have no idea what to do for Syl >.>
[11:07] arynwyn: Well... she needs someone very kind and sweet, someone who takes things slow and treats her like she needs to be treated... 
[11:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Okay, wth, CNN?  "Woman loses 95 pounds through better eating and exercise!!"  OMG, REALLY!? >_>  That's news?
[11:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[11:08] arynwyn: Er, minus the (( ))
[11:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Next up on CNN, the sky is blue.
[11:08] arynwyn: <giggles and gasps> Wow! Who knew?!
[11:08] Chaos Angel Sox: <snicker>
[11:10] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm going to have to ponder on the new guys some....though the cat burglar's a good start.
[11:10] arynwyn: Okies.
[11:10] Chaos Angel Sox: it's 49 degrees right now.  feels like 47. >_<
[11:10] arynwyn: Niiiice...
[11:10] Chaos Angel Sox: >_<
[11:10] arynwyn: =P
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: When I left for class yesterday, Joe walked me to the door, still shirtless (he was getting ready for bed).  I walked out and was like "Crap! Jacket!" and dove back inside.  And he's just standing there going, "Ahhhh...nice..." 
[11:11] arynwyn: <giggles>
[11:11] arynwyn: It's 67 here.
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: lucky
[11:11] arynwyn: >.>
[11:12] arynwyn: No, I'm not. I love autumn, it's my favorite season. And I'm missing it. >.<
[11:12] Chaos Angel Sox: I want it to be early summer all the time.  Warm, with light breezes.  Maybe warm up a little more on some days for extra awesome swimming weather.
[11:13] arynwyn: Hehe. I love cold, windy days. Cloudy, rainy. Fall leaves blowing everywhere... <sighs wistfully> Perfect Halloween weather...
[11:13] arynwyn: Sweatshirt weather. <nodnod>
[11:14] Chaos Angel Sox: meh.
[11:14] arynwyn: =P
[11:14] Chaos Angel Sox: :P
 :)
 :D
[11:14] arynwyn: Okay, well... since we don't have much to go on right now, methinks I'm going to take a nap... Try, at least. 
[11:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Okee.  I'll probably go ahead and get my errands out of the way then.
[11:15] arynwyn: Mkay. I'll be back later on. <huggles>
[11:15] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles> Happy sleepings! :D
[11:15] arynwyn: Thanks! Good luck.
[11:15] Chaos Angel Sox: :)

[15:42] arynwyn: Heyo.
[15:42] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[15:46] arynwyn: ooooooooo, chili! double ooooooooooo, chocolate cake!!
[15:54] arynwyn: switched comps so I can play Sims while you're away. :-)
[16:11] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> Yeah I just pulled the cakes from the oven (they're little mini cakes) and the chili's almost done.  :)  Gotta wake Joe up at half past but other than that, it's aaaalllll good.
[16:11] arynwyn: sweeeet! do you wanna RP then?
[16:12] Chaos Angel Sox: once I've got my foods assembled and I've poked the bf, sure :)
[16:12] arynwyn: okies!! let me know!
[16:12] Chaos Angel Sox: kk :D
[16:34] Chaos Angel Sox: mmm, also have Aliens on.  This is like the best dinner evar.
 
 Anyways - RPness?
[16:34] arynwyn: Nice! And sure. ^^
[16:35] Chaos Angel Sox: who/what/where/when/why/how?
[16:35] arynwyn: <laugh> That's the $64 question... >.>
[16:36] arynwyn: Well...  we could always start on that intense storyline you came up with. If you want...
[16:36] Chaos Angel Sox: I know! Lore proposes to Ari for real and truly!!
 Lore: I do...What now?
[16:37] arynwyn: <giggle> S'not like Ari'd say no... 
[16:37] Chaos Angel Sox: We can work on the storyline but it's like half done. >.> 'course maybe once we start RPing it, it'll come to us...
[16:37] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[16:39] Chaos Angel Sox: So lessee...Remembrance Day party for the Regent Lord what's his name....
[16:39] arynwyn: Yeah, what is his name?
[16:39] Chaos Angel Sox: I ask the gods of WoW Wiki
[16:40] arynwyn: <giggle> kk
[16:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Regent Lor'themar Theron
[16:40] arynwyn: Okies.
[16:40] arynwyn: So which of  our chars are invited?
[16:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Invited: Ren & Rav, Dam & Xen, Mya, Ath, Lore, Ash, Furon & his family.  Cy & Bren are part of Ren's entourage because they're worried about another attack.
[16:42] arynwyn: Will Lore bring Ari? Will Ash bring Hal?
[16:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Gregorin would have been invited...I don't know how high & mighty Ari/Kil/Char's family are but they might have been invited as well.  And of course the boys will bring their respective girlfriends.
[16:44] arynwyn: Okies. Even if Kil had been invited, he wouldn't' have gone... We'll say their parents don't come either. Just for simplicity. 
[16:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Kk.
[16:45] arynwyn: want to set the scene then?
[16:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Actually, Hal's recent decision not to be an assassin anymore works really well with this set up.  Anyways...scene setting, yes...
[16:46] arynwyn: Why's that?
[16:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Because she has more reason to turn down Xenoliya's request to kill Ren
[16:47] arynwyn: Ah.
[16:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <The Sunfury Spire is draped in black and red silk banners for the Remembrance Day dance.  The best and brightest of sin'dorei nobility ascend the ramp to the Spire.  The receiving line to speak with the Regent Lord is bustling and long, as is the line at the hors'd'ouevres & beverages table.  A small orchestra plays soft, lilting music.  There are a few people on the dance floor, but most are sitting at tables or standing in small groups, drinking and talking.  The common topic of conversation is, of course, where you were when Quel'Thalas was attacked, and how you heard the news.  It's been five years now, and some are beginning to wear tragedy as ostentatiously as their dresses and suits.>
[16:53] arynwyn: (( Who're we starting with? ))
[16:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Doesn't matter, I don't think.  I can start with Furon and then go through my half of the various pairs...))
[16:56] arynwyn: (( Uhm... if you don't mind. I'm a bit overwhelmed I guess. >.< ))
[16:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure))
[16:57] arynwyn: (( <mutters about there not being enough colors...> ))
[17:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <is dancing with Selah; his eyes go to the Regent Lord every so often, but mostly he only has eyes for his wife>
 Selrone: <is drinking.  A lot>
 Rav: <holds the wine glass she's nursing and stares: everything's so fancy and there's some kind of hot cheese over there**>
 Xenoliya: <smiles in her superior manner around at everyone, pleased to be on Damien's arm and in the Regent Lord's presence.  She thinks: I have arrived.  Invited to parties at the Spire.  Everything is perfect.>
 Cyla (and yes this is a slightly different color than Selrone's...not that I remember Cyla's color): <feels very very very inadequate and smooths the skirt of her dress self-consciously>
 Mya: <sips her punch and looks around for suitable possible mates or at least dance partners>
 Lore: <looks at Ari> Swanky, hm?  <kisses her cheek> You look wonderful.
 Ash: <looks bored and is calculating how long he has to stay so he doesn't seem rude.  He misses Claudia and the pups and, more importantly, he misses being able to just roll around in bed with Hal...though, as he looks at her, he must admit she's stunning>
 
 ((I think that's everyone...))
 **(quote from Firefly there...)
[17:04] arynwyn: (( Er... did you mean to keep everything in italics? ))
[17:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's not all in italics on my end....))
[17:13] arynwyn: Ren: <stands next to Rav making small talk with someone very important. he turns to small at her every once in a while, and keeps a hand on her back so she doesn't feel like he's ignoring her. after the man he was speaking to leaves, he turns to her> Having a good time, my dear? Need more wine? Something to eat? 
 Damien: <is watching everyone closely for any sign of lecherous looking at his wife. he nods to people as they pass, but speaks to few, preferring to keep company with Xen>
 Bren: <whispers to Cyla as she smooths her clothes> You're beautiful. Don't worry. <he smiles and would kiss her, but he knows there are people from the Temple here>
 Ath (yes, light blue): <sips at her wine and watches Selrone. she wonders how he will react at the party when she announces she's taking over the family. she loathes him, from what little she knows of him> Such an improper fool. Already drunk. <mental sigh>
 Ari: <smiles, a slightly terrified look on her face> This is... more elegant than anything I've ever been to. <she looks around but makes eye contact with no one>
 Hal: <easily wearing the loudest thing at the party, she grins around with confidence few have. she picks up a wine glass and drains it> Want to go dance? <she tugs Ash toward the dance floor>
 
 (( Hm. weird. And I think that's all? ))
[17:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles at Ren> Mm, perhaps a little something to eat would be nice.  We should see if Brennan and Cyla want anything too. <she looks over at the two, grinning>
 Cyla: I don't belong here, doc.  <smiles nervously back at him>  I mean, if I weren't here and something happened to Lord Thandren, I'd feel terrible, but...
 Xenoliya: <turns her smile to Damien and kisses his cheek> We should get in the receiving line for the Regent Lord.  When the Chief Warlock's position becomes open, he should know who you are.
 ((Crap.  Forgot that Xenoliya was supposed to have hired Hal to whack the chief warlock; we can say she hired someone else for this job though.))
 Lore: My parents are around here somewhere.  I'll do my best to try and hide us from them though. <grins at her>
 Ash: Hm? Oh, sure, my pleasure...not that I apparently have a choice. <smile>
 Mya: <comes up next to Ath> Eyeing your opponent?  He'll be drunkenly trying to lift girls' skirts within the hour, I can almost guarantee.
[17:24] arynwyn: (( Oh. I can bring in Val. >.> ))
[17:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that'll woik :3 ))
[17:24] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[17:24] arynwyn: (( Let me know when you want him whacked. =P ))
[17:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((right after the regent lord's attacked...<gives Sarah a chocolate molten lava cake w/ powdered sugar on it>
[17:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[17:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<also gives Sarah lots and lots of milk 'cause dear god, you'll need it...>))
[17:30] arynwyn: Ren: <nods and turns to Bren and Cy> Shall we get some food and find a table?
 Bren: <to Cy> Neither do I. I belong here less than you, I think. <nods to Ren> Lead the way, my Lord.
 Damien: <nods and kisses her cheek in return> Of course. As long as he doesn't look at you wrong... <eyes her> ...You just had to wear *that* dress tonight, didn't you?... <chuckles and leads her over to the line, stepping in behind the last person>
 Ari: <laughs> Don't want to introduce me? <smiles> I'm sure my parents were invited too, but I doubt they'd have come...
 Ath: <turns to Mya, smirking> Him making a fool of himself only makes my life so much easier... And who were you watching, sister?
 Hal: <giggles and steps onto the dance floor, pulling Ash close. she whispers> I love you. 
[17:31] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Woooo! <munches> And I meant, when do you want the regent lord attacked? ))
[17:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh um...I'll do that, since that's Furon's end))
[17:31] arynwyn: (( Oh, duh. >.< So, wait... Oh, I misread. Chief Warlock. Got it. ))
[17:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods to a blonde man talking to a couple other men: he's young, sort of plain looking and even brushed and combed, his hair looks tousled> He doesn't look like much, but he's of a good family with a lot of coin just lying about.  Wouldn't be a bad match for you, or for me. ((Did I tell you Mya had sex with Demzer? ^_^; ))
 Selrone: <realizes he's being watched.  He raises his half empty wine glass towards Ath and smiles>
 Rav: <smiles and sidles up to Bren> How're things with the two of you?
 Cyla: <scans the crowd as they move through it for signs of anything dangerous; not that she really knows what to look for, but she tries to be impressive>
 Lore: <kisses the back of her hand> If you want to meet them, I can hunt them down, but I can't guarantee you won't get the third degree from them.
 Ash: No fair, you beat me to it! <grins and kisses her>
 Xenoliya: <pouts with deliberate seductiveness> I thought you liked this dress, dearest love. <moving in closer to him>
[17:38] arynwyn: (( <LOL> NO! When did that happen?! ))
[17:39] arynwyn: (( Is this you entering a guy for Ath? ^^ ))
[17:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The first time I made her; Demzer wanted her to tell him what was going on in House Sunstriker and she wanted him to tell her what Amaryne's reputation was, as she was there to watch over Ryne and hopefully try and keep her in line for Furon.  They decided to seal the bargain with more than a handshake ^_^;;   And no; I haven't gotten anyone picked out for Ath yet.  Mya's just talking "marriage for the sake of the family" anyway....))
[17:44] arynwyn: Ath: <smirks at Selrone and turns her eyes toward the blonde man Mya is indicating. she looks him over and shrugs> Whatever you think, sister. Should I... go talk to him? <tries not to sound too nervous>
 Bren: <smiles at Rav> We both feel out of place. But fine other than that, thank you. Are you and Thandren doing well?
 Ari: <smiles> Whatever you want. I don't care either way. Let's just see if we run into them... We'll cross the bridge if we come to it, hm? 
 Hal: <giggles and kisses back, swaying with the music> How long do you think we'll have to stay? 
 Damien: <looks her over again> Oh, I *love* the dress... I just don't like the idea of other men looking at you in it. <wraps his arms around her and leans in to kiss her> I don't want to have to kill anyone tonight. 
[17:44] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay. ))
[17:45] arynwyn: Val: <slips in past the guards, unnoticed, and creeps over to a corner to wait for her signal. she picks a few pockets as she waits>
[17:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - every goddamn person in the world is calling me))
[17:48] arynwyn: (( <LOL> No worries. ))
[17:54] arynwyn: (( "So you're not a contractor. You're a craftsman!" "Kind of like Jesus. He built stuff for a while..." "That's exactly it. You're like Jesus. That's what I meant." <somewhat sarcastically> --Gilmore Girls ))
[17:55] arynwyn: (( Er... I think it was, "Your'e like Jesus. That was my point." ))
[17:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay finally off the phone; first Lisa called and then Mooms called in the MIDDLE of Lisa's call...<sigh> and neither of them wants just a quick question...anyways...))
[17:59] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I know the feeling. ))
[18:04] arynwyn: (( Oh! They're making Saw 4! Comes out right before Halloween! :-D ))
[18:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: <grins> As far as I'm concerned, they can look all they want - they're still not getting anything from me.  I have the perfect husband right here.
 Ash: <smirks at her> You know, I was just calculating that.  At least another couple of hours, I'm afraid.  Long enough for the Regent Lord's Remembrance Day speech.  Then, I was thinking we could snitch some hors'd'ouevres, head home and eat fancy snack food when I'm not ravishing you. <kisses her cheek>
 Lore: Care to dance, lovely lady?  I wouldn't mind showing off the elegant young woman gracing me with her presence.
 Rav: <nods> Very well, though I feel a little out of place as well.  Honestly, I feel most at home when I'm just playing with the kids and talking to Thandren.
 Mya: If you want to.  If nothing else, he should be on your party invitation list.  Not for the Announcement party; that's family only.  But as a rich and eligible man of our generation in good standing in Society, he should be considered for all parties unless any of that changes.
 
 ((Heh.  yep yep.  i've only seen the first one though))
[18:13] arynwyn: Damien: <grins> And you are the perfect wife. <leans in to kiss her again, his hands on her back and waist to hold her possessively>
 Hal: Two hours?! Damn... <nuzzles his neck> Well, if there's ravishing and fancy food afterwards, I suppose I'll live...
 Ari: <blushes a little> I see you haven't forgotten how to sweet talk a woman... <she grins> I'd love to dance. <she slips a hand in his and lets him lead her to the dance floor>
 Bren: <nods> I can tell. You are great for all of them. They seem so much happier now that you are with them. <he looks glances around to see where Cyla has gotten off to>
 Ren: <comes up and smiles> I've found us a table. Shall we sit? <he holds out an arm for Rav>
 Ath: If I don't have to, then I won't. <she turns away to look elsewhere, fighting a blush in her cheeks. she looks around for Selrone to see what he is doing to shame himself now>
[18:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...I promise that if it comes down to us finding you someone, I'll try and get someone tolerable at least.  I won't let you be saddled with some wrinkled old lecher.
 Selrone: <is flirting with a young lady, who's tittering girlishly...but also keeping a polite distance, despite the number of times Selrone tries to come in close to her>
 Lore: <chuckles> I'd as soon forget my name.  And I'm sure that singing your praises is the best use I could put my lips to.  <pause for effect, then smirks> ...well, okay, ONE of them. <twirls her around as they reach the dance floor, then pulls her into his arms and starts dancing>
 Ash: You'd better live!  No dying! <dancing cheek to cheek with her>
 Cyla: <eyes the surrounding party-goers, satisfies herself it's reasonably safe, and smiles at Bren as if to ask "Am I doing this right?">
 Rav: <takes Thandren's arm adoringly> Thank you.
 Xenoliya: Mmm.  So stop worrying and try to enjoy yourself, hm?
 Furon: <leaves Selah with some of her friends, kisses her cheek and melts into the crowd; it's not long before he disappears without notice>
[18:24] arynwyn: (( DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! ))
[18:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah thought I should move that along, seeing as how it's the actual plot and all...))
[18:31] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and gives her sister a small, polite hug> Thank you, Mya. And we will find you someone equally suiting. And handsome, I hope. <she watches Selrone> He's an embarrassment to the family... <she sighs and sips more wine>
 Ari: <giggles and glances around to make sure no one is listening. she dances with him, smiling up at him, her eyes bright> You are wonderful, Lore... And I do love you. <she sighs happily>
 Hal: <grins> Never. And you either! <kisses his neck> I dunno what I'd do without you!...
 Bren: <smiles and holds out an arm for Cyla, following Ren to the table>
 Ren: <leads them to a table in a quiet corner, pulling out a chair for Rav, then sitting down next to her> 
 Damien: <smiles and nods> Are you enjoying this too? I mean, once I am Chief Warlock, things like this will be commonplace... <holds on to her still>
 Val: <grows impatient in the corner but forces herself to stay still. she keeps an eye on her target, following his every move and keeping tabs on those closest to him>
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was dealing with some of the dishes))
[18:33] arynwyn: (( No worries. ^^ ))
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((get them now before they turn into concrete....))
[18:34] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: He has his uses, and he's not a total idiot...<grimaces as Selrone stumbles>...though he's not the most coordinated even when sober.
 Lore: <smiles down at her and kisses her cheek as he spins her around the floor>
 Ash: <chuckles> I'll endeavor to live as long as I can, just for you.
 Cyla: <takes Bren's arm almost...well not possessively, but more like "save me from the scary!". Clutching, that's the word.>
 Rav: Part of me says it's too bad the children couldn't come...and the rest of me says they'd probably be bored out of their minds. <giggles>
 Xenoliya: It's wonderful....and long overdue, if you ask me. <smirk> 
 
 <Without warning, Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron cries out and falls to the ground, bleeding badly from a gash in his side that appeared out of nowhere.  His wife ((I'm assuming he has one <shrug>)) screams and the guards immediately move to cover the exits>
[18:49] arynwyn: Ath: <rolls her eyes as he trips, then turns toward the yelling, blinking> What...?
 Ari: <dances blissfully a while longer, until the commotion starts. she stops abruptly and looks around>
 Hal: Good! <giggles. she, too, stops as people start shouting, but she vanishes too, pulling away from Ash to sneak around and do her rogue thing>
 Bren: <smiles and pats her hand, then glances behind him at the regent lord. he steps between Ren and the crowd, wondering what in the world is going on>
 Ren: <blinks a few times and stands. he pulls Rav to her feet and backs up, letting Bren and Cyla guard them>
 Damien: <swears loudly and looks to Xen> What in the nine hells?!... <he pulls her away from the panicking crowd for safety>
 
 Val: <sees her opportunity and slips through the people, finding the chief warlock and slitting his throat. but before she can vanish again...>
 Hal: <draws her own dagger from her boot and puts it to Val's throat, yelling for a guard>
[18:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You are *so* good - I go to take care of some dishes and stuff, come back, sit down at compy...and, ta da! post!))
[18:50] arynwyn: (( Woo! ))
[18:58] arynwyn: (( <shares crackers and Nutella> ))
[19:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <The guards are busy tending to the Regent Lord; no one's noticed the Chief Warlock's down as well, and there's so much noise and screaming, it's hard to hear Hallie yelling.  Lord Theron's personal priest is able to heal the wound some and attempts to clear out any poisons but the Regent Lord's condition barely improves.  His wife begins to cry>
 
 Lore: <takes hold of Ari as the screaming starts, making sure he knows where she is at all times>
 Ash: <blinks as he's suddenly holding air.  He looks around, finds Lore and Ari and crosses to them> What's going on?
 Cyla: <is not only between the source of the screaming and Thandren, she's also between the commotion and Brennan.  She starts casting shield spells>
 Rav: Is someone hurt? <notes that the center of the chaos seems to be the front of the receiving line> ...oh Light, it isn't the Regent Lord, is it?
 Xenoliya: <looks around and notes the absence of the Chief Warlock ((as he's on the floor, he's not visible in the throng)).  She stifles a smirk and looks concerned instead>
 
 ((... ...stupid phone does not stop ringing tonight...))
[19:01] arynwyn: (( <giggles at Xen> ))
[19:07] arynwyn: Ari: <clings to Lore, trembling a little> Lore? What's going on?... <she looks over at Ash as he approaches> I was just asking the same thing.
 Ren: Suravi... <fights the urge to whisk her away> If he's hurt, you may be the only one who can heal him... Brennan, Cyla. Take us to them. <he keeps an arm around Suravi and steps forward>
 Bren: <looks back at Ren, confused for a moment, but then he remembers. he nods and steps up to Cyla>
 Damien: <is watches the throng with an intense curiosity (rubber-necking)> Xenoliya, please tell me you know nothing of this... <glances at her> 
 
 Val: <smirks and starts to squirm> No one's listening, sister... I will vanish into the night and you will be left holding air.
 Hal: <saps Val, partly to keep her from vanishing, but mostly just to shut her up>
[19:09] arynwyn: (( oh, and keep in mind, priests can't cure poison. unless you want to bend the rules, which is fine with me. ))
[19:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Xenoliya: I would never harm the Regent Lord, Damien! <frowns> My loyalty to the throne is beyond reproach.
 Cyla: <nods and starts shoving her way through the throng, roughly demanding people get out of their way>
 Rav: <follows Cyla, keeping hold of Ren as she does>
 Lore: <eyes the exits> They're not letting anyone out.  Someone important's hurt.  Let's just stay toge...where's Hal?
 Ash: <shrugs and sighs> She went stealthy on me.  <looking around for her worriedly>
 ((Oh right. >.> That makes no sense to me, I swear.))
 
 <One of the Regent Lord's personal guard, a Blood Knight appointed by the Knighthood, kneels down and successfully clears all poisons out of the fallen man's system, but the wound is aggravated already, and though it closes a little more, it doesn't completely heal over.  The guards around the Regent Lord are pushing back all those who are attempting to get through>
[19:13] arynwyn: (( Ditto. Dunno why they did that. ))
[19:17] arynwyn: Damien: <shakes his head> I know, forgive me. Temporary insanity brought on by all of this... <he waves a hand and continues to watch the scene unfold> 
 Bren: <stays a step behind Cyla until they reach the guards. he steps forward and leans in to whisper something to one (telling the guard that Suravi can heal him with the Light of the Forbidden Path or whatever I called it). he turns back and nods to Rav and Ren>
 Ari: <gasps> Oh no! Hal! <she looks around the room for any sign of her, and finally spots her. she points> Look, Ash, over there! And... there are two people on the floor by her. Are more people hurt?
 
 Hal: <tries to bandage the chief warlock, but she knows it's futile. she keeps Val unconcious by sapping her periodically>
[19:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Path of the Sacred Light?))
[19:19] arynwyn: (( That's it. =P ))
[19:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <The guard points to Rav and says she's the only one allowed through their self-imposed barricades>
 Rav: <squeezes Ren's hand and steps forward.  The guards let her through, and she kneels next to the Regent Lord.  She holds her hands over his wound and casts what would normally be a small healing spell; the light blinds those closest to them briefly (like a camera flash), and when next all can see, the wound is completely gone. The Regent Lord stirs and groans as he sits up>
 Cyla: <watches all this in amazement>
 Ash: <stopped listening after "Over there"; he's headed for Hal>
 Lore: C'mon...<holds onto Ari's hand and follows Ash>
 Random Guard: <to Hal> You there! What're you doing?
 Xenoliya: <nods at him> Someone attacking the Regent Lord? That IS insane...
 Furon: <hurries to his wife's side, taking the frantic woman into his arms and whispering his apologies about how he got held up by the crowd>
 Mya: ((whom I've been forgetting >.>)) <shoves Selrone into a seat at his mother's table, corralling the family together so they can protect each other better.  She ponders stealthing, but waits for her uncle's directive>
[19:30] arynwyn: Ari: <holds on to Lore's hand tightly, following, but keeping her eyes on the center of the room> 
 
 Bren: <holds on to Cyla's arm protectively, watching Rav work. he blinks past the bright light, not wanting to miss it>
 Ren: <watches in wonder, thinking his wife is the most amazing woman alive>
 
 Hal: <stands up> Finally! This man has been attacked while you were all fussing over the other guy! And she did it! <points to her twin> I watched her do it. <she glances over at Ash as he approaches and holds up a hand, telling him to wait>
 
 Damien: Why? Why would anyone want to do that... <blinks at the flash of light> What was that?...
 
 Ath: <lets Mya corral her, still watching the scene unfold> What was that light? <she stands on her tiptoes to try and see>
[19:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <stops as Hal raises her hand>
 Lore: <stops also, keeping Ari in close to him>
 Guard: That "other guy" is the Regent Lord and this....<pales as he realizes who this is and calls for assistance for the Chief Warlock, moving to take Val into custody>
 
 Xenoliya: I don't know...I would assume they're trying to save him, but...healing spells aren't that bright...
 
 Mya: <shakes her head>
 Furon: <narrows his eyes in that direction, paying focused attention>
 
 <The Regent Lord's wife hugs him and he stands, those around him rising as well.  He thanks Rav profusely for saving his life>
 Rav: <blushes deeply and curtsies low>
 Cyla: <to Brennan> ...okay, never seen a healing spell go off that bright before...
[19:39] arynwyn: Hal: Chief Warlock? <blinks> Wow. He doesn't look so good... And the Regent Lord too? What in Azeroth is going on here? There's more than one rogue at work. <she starts to study people in the crowd, making a mental list of who could be suspects> (( Hehe, rogue gone detective? ))
 Damien: <shakes his head> He's standing! <he tugs Xen forward for a better view> He's alive! 
 
[19:39] arynwyn: (( Drat ))
[19:40] arynwyn: Bren: <to Cyla> That's the power of the healing from the Path of the Sacred Light. You've noticed that Suravi is a Highborn, now, yes? She lacks the magical addiction inherent to Blood Elves. She is able to use the Light as it is meant to be used; as the Dwarves, Night Elves, and Humans use it. Amazing, isn't it?
[19:42] arynwyn: Ath: <loudly enough for most people around her to hear> He's alive! He's standing up. <she looks over at Mya for a moment, thinking, then turns back to watch>
[19:43] arynwyn: (( Sorry that was so many posts. >.> ))
[19:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay :D ))
[19:43] arynwyn: (( I'm done now, promise. =P ))
[19:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: Wow...
 <The Regent Lord is beckoning to Ren and the gang to come forward, smiling and singing Rav's praises while she blushes profusely>
 
 Mya: He's alive?
 Furon: <ponders this>
 
 Xenoliya: Oh thank gods...<heaves a genuine sigh of relief>
 
 <The guards take Val off; another goes to inform the Regent Lord, and the remaining one asks Hal for details>
 Ash: <shifts from one foot to another>
 Lore: <pats Ash on the back reassuringly>
[19:54] arynwyn: Bren: <steps foward, still holding Cy's arm and forcing her forward as well. he releases her when they step up and he bows very low> My Lord.
 Ren: <steps up as well, and bows. he smiles over at Rav proudly>
 
 Ath: Yes, he is. And there are people going past the guards now... Four people, I think. I wonder who they are...
 
 Hal: <smirks as her sister is hauled off> Yes, I saw her slit this man's throat, so I grabbed her from behind. If you look up her record... Valentine Firestorm... she has committed at least two other murders- those of our parents. <she finally nods to Ash that he can come over, holding her hand out for his>
 Ari: <is listening to Hal and she gasps when she hears about Hal's parents> Is that true? Her sister killed their parents?... That's... that's... <doesn't know what word to use, so she lets the sentence trail off>
 
 Damien: Who are those people in there? The ones that are being so warmly welcomed?... <scowls> 
 
[19:56] arynwyn: (( Hm... how about a potion that makes you temporarily forget all your problems? You can be like a child, run around without a care in the world?... Dunno, maybe that's kind of lame... Can't think of a good and funny twist for it... ))
[20:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <blinks also>
 Ash: <quietly> ...it's true. <he rejoins Hal, taking her hand and squeezing it>
 
 Xenoliya: <narrows her eyes to sharpen her vision> I'm not sure...
 
 Furon: <frowns musingly> Someone saved the Regent Lord...thank gods...
 Mya: There's a guard approaching...
 
 Rav: <smiles uncertainly at Ren>
 Cyla: <bows...then curtsies properly, absolutely blown away that she's this close to the Regent Lord>
 <A guard comes up and whispers to the Regent Lord, who looks horrified.  He pushes through the crowd, headed for where his Chief Warlock is lying dead on the floor>
 
[20:01] arynwyn: (( Oh! Who's going to be named Chief Warlock now? >.> ))
[20:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well...there'll be a few candidates the Regent Lord can choose from.  I'm sure Damien would be one of them...but considering Thandren's wife just saved the RL's life....))
[20:07] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles lightly at Ash and slides under his arm, then sobers as the regent lord approaches. she forces herself to give a small bow> 
 Ari: Gods... <she watches as the regent lord passes, giving a bow, though she knows he won't see it> Poor Hal... 
 
 Damien: <turns to look at where the regent lord is heading and blinks> Someone else has been hurt?... <he pushes his way through the crowd to see, pulling Xen with him>
 
 Ath: <straightens up for the guard, glancing back at her family. she steps up and nods to the guard> Yes?
 
 Ren: <holds on to Rav tightly and leans in to whisper> Splendid! Amazing! You are a goddess on Azeroth, I swear...
 Bren: <keeps watch on everything, taking hold of Cyla again and smiling down at her. he starts to follow as the RL takes off, but gives up as the crowd prevents it>
[20:07] arynwyn: (( <nod> S'what I was thinking. ))
[20:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry: Mya was saying that there was a guard approaching the Regent Lord - the one who told him about the Chief Warlock.  There's not a guard approaching their table.))
[20:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I could've made that clearer >.>))
[20:10] arynwyn: (( Oh. Oops. >.> ))
[20:10] arynwyn: (( Then just have Ath watching. >.< ))
[20:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <still scarlet> ...I'm not...
 Cyla: Um...what's going on?
 
 Furon: <watches where the RL is headed, confused>
 
 Xenoliya: Dear gods...will the misfortune never end? 
 
 Ash: <bows to the RL and whispers to Hal> Val killed the Chief Warlock?  Did she attack the Regent Lord too?
 Lore: <bows>...as soon as they start letting people out, we're out of here, sexy.  I think this is an unwholesome environment...
[20:19] arynwyn: Ren: <chuckles and kisses her gently> You are. <he tries to see through the people but is unable> 
 Bren: <strains his ears and eventually picks up the some whispers. he turns to Cyla and Rav & Ren> The Chief Warlock has been attacked. I think he's dead...
 
 Damien: <struggles to see but can't really. he swears quietly>
 
 Hal: She didn't have time. She wouldn't have been able to attack the regent lord, slip away and find this man before I spotted her... Someone else did it. Probably completely different motives, different contractors. <she shrugs>
[20:19] arynwyn: (( Argh ))
[20:20] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and steps closer to Lore, shivering> This is so awful. 
[20:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <holds her reassuringly>
 Ash: <shudders> I don't like this.  I don't like it at all.  I don't like you being anywhere near it. <hugs her>
 
 Xenoliya: <puts a hand to her mouth> Oh...oh gods.  I think it's the Chief Warlock...
 
 Rav: Oh gods...<turns to Ren for comfort> ...I'm so tired of murder and blood.  Why does this keep happening?  ((Me: because the most interesting things in the world are sex and violence?))
 Cyla: ...more blood spilled on a day to remember blood spilled. <sighs>
[20:29] arynwyn: Hal: I don't like it either. But my sister will be locked up for good, or executed for this. That's a relief. I will be able to walk in the Bazaar without fearing for my life... <she leans against Ash and sighs>
 Ari: How long until we can leave?... I just want to get out of here. <she clings to him>
 
 Damien: <blinks and raises an eyebrow> Oh is it?... <fights a smirk> And why would anyone want the poor man dead? He was such an asset to our society. <takes her hand and squeezes it>
 
 Ren: <pales> Adarion Brighteve? But he was a good man... Why would anyone want him dead?... <sighs and shakes his head, holding Rav close> People are mad. Utterly insane. 
 Bren: The Temple can screw themselves. <he puts and arm around Cy and pulls her close, hugging her gently. he strokes her hair> 
[20:31] arynwyn: *am arm
[20:31] arynwyn: **An arm
[20:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <hugs him back, closing her eyes>
 Rav: I want to go home, Thandren.
 
 Xenoliya: ...and the night started out so wonderfully, before all of this... <is kind of curious who wanted the Regent Lord dead, but hey, he survived and the Chief Warlock didn't; she's not looking the gift horse in the mouth>
 
 Ash: <swaps a look with Lore>
 Lore: <pats Ari reassuringly> Let me talk with one of the guards; I think if we let them know where we can be found, they might let us leave.
 
 <The Regent Lord announces to all that the evening is over and orders everyone to go to their homes.  Immediately.  And stay there.>
 
 Lore: ...or we could be ordered home.  That works.
[20:40] arynwyn: Bren: <kisses her hair> Let's get out of here. <he looks back at Ren and nods, then leads the way toward the exit>
 Ren: <nods to Rav, looking sad, and follows Bren,  keeping Rav very close to him>
 
 Damien: <sighs> I suppose we'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear what really happened. <he takes her hand and starts off>
 
 Ari: <small smile, but her eyes are fearful> Let's just go. I don't care how, let's just get out of here. I'm scared, Lore...
 Hal: <looks over at Ari and sees how scared she is> Ash, let's walk with them. Ari's terrified... <she walks over and puts an arm around Ari (the opposite side of Lore) and keeps Ash on the other side of her>
 Ari: <smiles a little at Hal> Thanks.
 
 Ath: <sighs and turns to her sister> Well, I suppose we should go. <to a servant> Our coats. 
[20:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I could actually do with a nappy-poo...))
[20:43] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[20:43] arynwyn: (( In a couple of hours tim'll be home and we're going out to eat and then to the commissary, so... ))
[20:44] arynwyn: (( Want me to email what we've written so far? ))
[20:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I've got Trill set on auto-log so I've got the convo saved.  Where you going for foods? ^_^ ))
[20:45] arynwyn: (( Subway prolly. ))
[20:45] arynwyn: (( Steak this weekend though. ^^ ))
[20:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooooooooooo.  to both. ^_^ ))
[20:45] arynwyn: (( Hehe. =P ))
[20:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh wait, I got a site you should see...
[20:46] arynwyn: kk
[20:46] arynwyn: oh, question... did you want me to make a guy for Mya? Or do you want to keep her single?
[20:47] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.8legged.com/)http://www.8legged.com/  You want DFL - Deep Fried Live!  
 
 Animated Cooking Show.  I wish it updated more frequently though ;__; But I've actually done their chocolate chip cookies and the way they make steak and they are both absolutely *faboo*.
[20:47] arynwyn: NIce! <giggles>
[20:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmm....if you come up with someone good for Mya I won't object.  She really liked Demzer, honestly, but decided he was too devious to be a good marital candidate; he'd figure out the Duskblades' secrets and use them against the family. ^_^; 
[20:49] arynwyn: And he's married now. He married his RL girlfriend's char.
[20:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Awwww how sweet!! :D
[20:50] arynwyn: ^^
[20:50] arynwyn: And who didn't like Demzer? <snicker>
[20:50] Chaos Angel Sox: I never had a problem with him OOC.  Now Amaryne, IC? >.> so much hate. sooooooo much haaaaaaaaaaaaaate.
[20:51] arynwyn: <laugh> Oh right. I remember that. She's just about the only one though.
[20:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> yeah, well she's still holding his torturing Cec against him, even after everything Cec did to her.
[20:51] arynwyn: He tortured Cec?! I didn't know that. >>>
[20:51] arynwyn: >.>
[20:53] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod>
 Zalen: Let's vote for officers!  Oh, Ceciro's been voted an officer!  
 Demzer: <to Ceciro> Come with me. <takes him off>
 Ceciro: <talking to me> ... ...I'm being tortured.  No, REALLY.
 Amaryne: o_O  <just "happens" to show up>
 Demzer: Shoo girl.
 Amaryne: O_o 
 Ceciro: <after being released> It was a test of loyalty; I can't tell anyone about it.  So you can't either.
 Ryne: Okay. Um...did Zalen know about it?
 Cec: <shrug>
 
 ...find out later it was Zalen's idea. ~_~
[20:54] arynwyn: ... ... ...
[20:54] arynwyn: BLARGH!
[20:54] arynwyn: FUCKER
[20:54] arynwyn: ~_~
[20:54] Chaos Angel Sox: They RP'ed it really well though, for the brief time I was interrupting them.
[20:54] arynwyn: So?! That's sic,
[20:54] arynwyn: *sick
[20:55] arynwyn: just for being elected officer?!
[20:55] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod nod> Oh yeah.  And Ryne blamed Demzer that whole time.  He agreed to it, and actually did it....and Ryne actually doesn't know Zalen ordered it; Demzer told me that OOC.
[20:55] arynwyn: Ugh.
[20:55] arynwyn: UGH
[20:55] arynwyn: <deep breath>
[20:56] Chaos Angel Sox: But it was the beginning of Ryne's IC alienation from House Bloodsworn: she knew there was a chance Zalen had either ordered it or knew about it and condoned it.  If either of those were true, she couldn't stay, esp. since she was crushing on Ceciro at the time, but even if she weren't, that....just...NO. >_<
[20:57] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[20:57] arynwyn: I never knew that. Rhee didn't either, obviously, or she would have been pretty pissed too...
[20:57] Chaos Angel Sox: But of course she can't ask about it.  She supposedly "doesn't know" and if she tells, it could mean more trouble for Ceciro.
[20:57] arynwyn: <nod>
[20:57] Chaos Angel Sox: That was driving me nuts, trying to find a way around that.  :P Never did, obviously.
[20:57] arynwyn: =(
[20:57] arynwyn: Lame.
[20:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah well, it's Zalen, so of course it's lame.
[20:58] arynwyn: Anyway, sleep time. ^^
[20:58] arynwyn: Heh, yeah.
[20:58] arynwyn: ~_~
[20:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah nappy noodles for me.  When do you think you'll be back from your wild night out on the town? <grins>
[20:58] arynwyn: Uhm... 12:30 or 1 your time.
[20:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Okay.  I'll set the alarm for 1 then. :)
[20:59] arynwyn: Depending on the line for the commissary.
[20:59] arynwyn: Okies. ^^
[20:59] Chaos Angel Sox: And I won't spazz if you're not here at 1; just enjoy yourself and don't worry about "OMG Jen's going to be so upset if I keep her waiting....!"  No, I won't.  Hell, I might end up keeping you waiting, for which I apologize in advance. 
[21:00] arynwyn: <laugh> 
[21:00] arynwyn: No worries. I dunno if Tim'll want to hang out afterward, but if he does O
[21:00] arynwyn: *I'll pop on and let you know.
[21:00] Chaos Angel Sox: O! 
[21:01] arynwyn: =P
[21:01] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> it's cool.  have fun w/ da hubby - that's the important thing
[21:01] arynwyn: okies.
[21:01] arynwyn: sorry, dad called.
[21:01] Chaos Angel Sox: is okay
[21:01] arynwyn: anyway, happy sleepings. ^^ <huggles>
[21:02] Chaos Angel Sox: daddy important too! <huggles> I'll be back after nap and I'll see you when I see you :D 
[21:02] arynwyn: okies!

[01:42] arynwyn: Sorry I was gone longer than planned.
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Is okay, silly goose. 
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: good foodings?
[01:42] arynwyn: We went to eat and then got booze, but no groceries... >.<
[01:42] arynwyn: Yep! Sushi again.
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: beer is liquid bread.
[01:42] arynwyn: <laugh> So true.
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: so you can have...um....liquid toast?
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: good luck putting Nutella on it...

[01:43] arynwyn: <LOL>
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Stop that!
[01:43] arynwyn: xD
[01:44] arynwyn: Got some beer and a bottle of wine. Hope the wine is decent. I've never picked out a bottle before...
[01:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Just so long as it doesn't have the Dawnfury Alchemy label on it.
 
 Oh, and I forgot to say: your potion suggestion from earlier is good: a potion that makes you act like a child.  'course that means you're prone to tantrums, screeching about cooties, and playground taunting....

[01:51] Chaos Angel Sox: sweeeeeeeeeet.
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: "Contentification"?  What the hell?
 Lore: Oooooo I want to be contentified! <grins lecherously at Ari>
 Kat: I'll bet.
 Ash: Maybe you have to be married to contentify or be contentified.
 Lore: <proposes on the spot>
 Kat: ... ... ...Lore, you realize marriage isn't necessarily lifelong sexual gratification?
 Ash: That depends... <grins>
 Lore: "lifelong sexual gratification"....the three most beautiful words in our language.
 Kat: Light, you are such a horndog, Lore.
 Lore: You are not one to talk, missy.  I hardly got any sleep last night....ALL LAST NIGHT, Talya.  Someone -and I'm not naming any names here- <significant look at Kat> was screaming in extreme bliss most of the night.
 Ash: I didn't have any problems...<mumble> but then again, I have earplugs.
 Kat: <grins> I was being massively contentified.  Don't be jealous just 'cause Killian can make me sound like that and you can't make Ari do the same.
 Lore: Ohhhh that sounds like a challenge....
 Ash: I'm taking Hal to an inn for the night....an inn on the other side of town.
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.questionablecontent.net/)http://www.questionablecontent.net/  I want to send this to Mark, just for the last panel...
[02:01] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.sinfest.net/)http://www.sinfest.net/  <giggles> this reminds me of some of our past conversations in WoW...
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <sketches Zadeen while she's sleeping>
 
 Rav: <snuggles up to Ren>
 
 Cyla: <is still recovering from being contentified by Brennan>
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.mechanicalbunny.com/)http://www.mechanicalbunny.com/  I really <3 this site.  There's usually stuff I like, and they do such a good job of warning you about things like "This shirt is really made for B cups and lower; if you're a C cup or higher, get a size larger than normal."  The Thrift Store section is always fun too: that's leftovers and things out of her closet the store owner's getting rid of, so there's usually just one and they're gone, but...it's still fun to browse.  'course it's all gothy/punky sort of stuff, but still...(Link: http://www.mechanicalbunny.com/oscmax/)
[02:13] Chaos Angel Sox: actually it's because of this site that I finally went to Victoria's Secret and got measured, 'cause I was still wearing B cups and so I ordered a shirt that had that warning on it in my usual size.  I got it and it fits, but it's tight across the chest, and it makes the rest of the shirt below my breasts ride up.  So I went and got measured and yeah: 34C.  >.>  I still wear the shirt though ^_^  It's too awesome not to.
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: okay wandering in and out for a bit; just keep babling at me until I come back ^_^;
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: *babbling even :P blarghles

[02:37] arynwyn: Hehe, so... we forget to get a corkscrew. >.>
[02:38] arynwyn: Back for a while. 
[02:38] arynwyn: With a beer.
[02:38] arynwyn: <shares>
[02:45] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles and accepts> Aha! Now you are mine! <tackle-hugs Lore>
[02:47] arynwyn: <giggles> A convo between Tim and me:
[02:48] arynwyn: Tim: Quiet you, or I'll ductape your mouth!
 Me: ooo, kinky! <giggles>
 Tim: Ugh, I'd better get rid of the beer... you redneck. 
 Me: <LOL> 
[02:55] arynwyn: come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack................
[02:56] arynwyn: Chaaaaarlieeeeee...... Chaaaaaaaaarlieeeeeeee..........
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: "We're on a bridge, Charlie!"
[03:02] arynwyn: "A magical bridge of hope and wonder!"
[03:02] arynwyn: RPness?!
[03:02] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> Yes'm ^_^
[03:02] Chaos Angel Sox: cat on head
[03:02] arynwyn: =P
[03:03] arynwyn: Who/what/when/where/why/how?!
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I want to see about this challenge....
 Me: That was OOC.  Never happened.
 Lore: ;__; 
 
 Ummm....I'm still kind of  z__z ( tired ) so I'm not sure I can handle our massive plotline of doom we started in on earlier....we can work on making guys for the single gals? dunno.  
[03:06] arynwyn: Sure. ^^
[03:06] arynwyn: What ladies do you have? Just Mya?
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: unattached? yeah.
[03:06] arynwyn: Any guys?
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I'm "attached"? >.>
 Cyla: If I could honestly be attached to doc, I wouldn't mind...
 
 Ummm...no, I think all my guys are happily paired off and getting nookie.
[03:07] arynwyn: <giggle> kk
[03:08] arynwyn: Kil: <pouts> I thought we talked about this... I gave you the locket and everything!
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: But I'm not actually "attached" to you.  I can still walk around on my own and everything.
[03:09] arynwyn: Kil: <ponders a way to fix this...>
[03:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Not physically attached.....though sometimes it may seem that way...<giggles>
[03:09] arynwyn: Mkay, so... I've been thinking on a guy for Mya. I'm not sure I know exactly what she'd like though...
[03:09] arynwyn: Kil: <grin> We could do that now... 
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm.  Mya's personal requirements are fairly in keeping with her family's requirements of her: she is shallow enough that money, title and privilege are actually turn-ons (at least in the sense that she won't give you the time of day without them).  What little I RPed with Demzer showed Mya to be interested in using the threat of pain as a turn-on, but not actually BDSM levels >.>
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Oo, can we? <tackle-pounce>
[03:13] arynwyn: Kil: <laughs and carries Kat upstairs>
 
 Well... would she prefer a quieter, more submissive guy? Or one that takes charge? 
[03:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Umm...given her reaction to Demzer, I'd say the latter, but only on the understanding that that is bedroom behavior *only*.  Any attempt to take charge of her work/familial duties/rest of her life will be met with substantial resistance...and likely blood.
[03:16] arynwyn: Hehe, okies. That's kind of what I thought... Hm. Do you want to do the cat burgler thing or should I try and do this guy for Mya?
[03:16] Chaos Angel Sox: We can do either.  I need a name for cat burglar guy....help me, fantasy name generator!
[03:17] arynwyn: oooo. <giggles> I need a name for Mya's guy too...
[03:17] Chaos Angel Sox: I tinker with the names the generator gives me most of the time, but when I can't come up with something on my own, it's a godsend.
[03:17] arynwyn: ^^
[03:20] Chaos Angel Sox: or I can do what I did for Suravi and steal one of my story characters' names...
[03:21] arynwyn: That works too. =P
[03:21] arynwyn: I do that a lot. 
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh. our Suravi =/= Rav Mylligan.  Not at all.  They're almost polar opposites. >.> 
 Anyways...I think I'm good. he doesn't have a last name, but he doesn't need one yet.  He's not going to do a formal introduction; doubt he'd even give his actual name when he's doing B&E
[03:22] arynwyn: Heh, I decided it was a good idea not to do this with Syl... If someone came in her window she'd FREAK.
[03:22] arynwyn: Okies.
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <sexay cat burglar sneakin' in...>
 Syl: <WHAP!>
 <sexay cat burglar dies in a bloody mess>
[03:23] arynwyn: Char: <is sleeping peacefully, the moonlight falling on her face and lighting up her hair. she faces the room, and the window>
[03:23] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Pretty much... ))
[03:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I will keep him in black until I figure out a good color for him))
 <The window slides fully open slowly, quietly, and a figure dressed in head-to-toe black pops his head through the window.  He looks around as he pushes himself through; upon catching sight of the room's occupant, he falls into the room head first, tumbling inelegantly and landing with something of a thud.  He bites a curse back as his eyes flit to the sleeping beauty to see if her slumber has been broken by his clumsiness>
 ((Oh and I'm TOTALLY ripping off Inverloch for this guy))
[03:27] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[03:28] arynwyn: Char: <sits up with a start and looks around for the cause of the noise. she sees the man on the floor, looking at her, and she goes wide-eyed> Oh! Oh... please don't hurt me!... <she backs up in the bed until she hits the wall>
[03:32] Chaos Angel Sox: <He rises and puts a black-leather gloved finger to his lips.  He tiptoes to the door quickly - causing a floorboard to creak, which makes him freeze for a moment - and puts his ear to the door, listening for sounds of impending intruders.  Hearing no one coming, he looks back to her> I'm not going to hurt you; I'm here for other pretty things - the kind that are more portable.  <His voice is pitched low and he smiles at her>  You know, preferably sparkly?  <looks her over briefly>
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php?page=454)(Link: http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php?page=454)http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php?page=454 "Normal" Varden

[03:35] arynwyn: Char: <nods, still looking terrified, thinking quickly> I'm only visiting the city. I didn't bring much with me. But... <she slides out of the bed slowly, the cold night air giving her shivers since her skimpy nightgown doesn't cover much. she pads across the room (more quietly than he did) to the dresser and opens a small jewelry box. she holds up the only thing in there: a white gold bracelet with rubies> This is all I have... <her eyes well up with tears and one slides down her cheek> It was... my mother's, before she died...
[03:36] arynwyn: (( Why'd his hair color change? ))
[03:37] arynwyn: (( Oh. ))
[03:37] arynwyn: (( Duh. It'd help if I read things. Voluntary illiteracy, I know, I know. >.< ))
[03:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <He starts to reach for it with a grin until she says that last part.  His smile fades and he ponders what to do.  His eyes wander over her figure and a smirk hits his face> I'll make you a deal then, poppet <he offers, walking towards her> I'll let you keep the bracelet, but I can't just leave here with nothing to show for it....
[03:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> Is okay.  So far I'm ripping off webcomics left, right and center for this guy, but hey, it's fun. ))
[03:42] arynwyn: Char: <sets the bracelet back in the box and closes it. she turns to him, eyes still teary> What... what do you want then?... <she begins to tremble a little and she has to bite her lip to keep from laughing>
[03:43] arynwyn: (( It is fun. =P ))
[03:45] Chaos Angel Sox: <He pulls her in and kisses her with brief intensity then grins at her, tips his hat ((think Zorro hat)) to her and tries to make a quick and dashing exit...only he trips on her rug as he nears the window and falls again. He rises, cursing himself in his mind again: Smooth, real smooth.>
[03:46] arynwyn: Char: <is surprised by the sudden kiss, and she runs over to help him up when he falls> That's it? A kiss? That's all you're taking?! <she tugs him to his feet, angry> 
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <He arches an eyebrow> You want to give me more? <he slides his hands over certain parts of her, intending to outrage her...and hoping she doesn't just push him out the window instead> 
[03:49] arynwyn: Char: <lets him touch her, but she looks away> I wanted you to take me with you. <she finally steps back and goes back over to her bed, sitting on it> Ugh, nevermind. Just go. You'll find some "sparkly" goods elsewhere.
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <arches an eyebrow, surprised> Look, pretty lady, I'm a thief, not a kidnapper, and certainly not a slave trader.  They treat you so badly here, leave.  Besides, getting down from here isn't easy...or ladylike.
[03:52] arynwyn: Char: <stands back up and crosses back over to him, pulling him close and kissing him hard> Then come back. Tomorrow night. It has nothing to do with them treating me badly. They treat me better than my parents. Shit, I told him my mother was dead... 
[03:54] arynwyn: (( just a warning... feeling a little tipsy, kind of silly, from the alcohol. <giggle> ))
[03:54] Chaos Angel Sox: <smirks at her> ...come back and do what, pretty lady?  Take your precious mother's bracelet from you after all?  Or maybe some of your fine dresses?  <runs a hand across her cheek; his gloves are kid leather, very soft and smooth>
[03:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Oh this should be interesting then ^_^ Maybe I should go get another rum & coke....though I was dumb and didn't get any snacky food.  I do have popcorn...))
[03:56] arynwyn: Char: Or something more precious?... <leans in to whisper> My virginity, perhaps? <she pulls away, smirking and blushing, then steps over to the dresser to fetch the bracelet. she presses it into his hand> To remember me by.
[03:56] arynwyn: (( Oooh, popcorn and rum & coke... mmmm... ))
[03:56] arynwyn: (( Heh, Charise desperately needed some danger in her life. And though he's not *really* that dangerous, he did sneak into her room... <giggle> ))
[04:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <both eyebrows rise at the "virginity" comment; he takes the bracelet sort of automatically as images dance through his head; he clears his throat> Umm....uh...<sort of nods, then turns to go and walks right into the windowpane. He closes his eyes, berates himself again, and ducks through the window slightly less gracefully than he would have liked. He turns back, crouched on the roof, as though he's going to say something else to her...then changes his mind and tries to spin back around, but falls and rolls down the roof, barely catching himself at the edge.   He pulls himself back up, jumps to the neighboring building's roof and blending into the black night sky, though if you look closely, you can still see his cape billowing>
[04:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she really knows what to say to a guy xD ))
[04:01] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[04:02] arynwyn: Char: <stifles a laugh as he fumbles and falls, then crawls back into bed, leaving her window open. she lays awake for a long time, thinking about this mysterious, and amusing, stranger>
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Next night? ^_^ ))
[04:02] arynwyn: (( Yep. ))
[04:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is this going to drive you nuts reading it? >.> We're running out of colors <laughs>))
[04:03] arynwyn: (( uhm, it's fine. ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: (( yeah okay well it's driving *me* nuts...))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: (( :P ))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( <tackle-hugs!> ))
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay I'm just leaving him black and Damien can deal with it ^_~ And yay! <huggleses!>))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okies. ))
[04:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Thief-man: ((heheh)) <returns the next night; he's not terribly surprised to find the window wide open.  He enters feet first this time, landing in a quiet crouch>
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nanananananananana THIEF MAN!! <batman TV theme>))
[04:09] arynwyn: Char: <is somewhere between awake and asleep, having just drifted off. she had given up on him coming. she stirs a little as he lands, but doesn't awake. the blanket is only half covering her body and she's wearing a slinky black lingerie (sp?) thing and she's shivering with cold>
[04:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You spelled it right ^_^))
[04:10] arynwyn: (( Yay! ))
[04:12] Chaos Angel Sox: <He stops to take in the sight of her, then clears his throat. He thinks, Remember what you actually came here for.  He waits for her to wake up for a moment, and when she doesn't, he sighs, goes over to her and pulls the blanket, regretfully, up over her, making sure to get an up-close eyeful of her before she's covered up.  He whispers into her ear> ...It's too cold for something that skimpy, pretty lady.
[04:14] arynwyn: Char: <blinks her eyes open and waits for them to focus. she sits up, and smiles> You came... I didn't think you would. I thought... <sighs and shakes her head> Nevermind. <she grabs the front of his shirt (or whatever he's wearing) and pulls him close, kissing him with an intense desperation>
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: <He kisses her back but hesitates to put his arms around her, waiting for her to ease up so he can talk to her, deciding Hey, if she wants to kiss me so badly, I'll let her decide when to stop...>
[04:16] arynwyn: Char: <lets him free after a long few moments and lays back on the bed, smiling, waiting>
[04:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <clears his throat> ...as...<looking her over again>...generous as your offer from last night is, I'm going to have to decline...though I admit to a certain curiosity.  Pretty ladies of obvious breeding don't normally throw themselves at dashing scoundrels like myself, no matter how charming and handsome we might be.
[04:19] arynwyn: Char: <her smile fades and she looks away, pulling the blanket up over her body> Then why did you come back? Just to tell me that?...
[04:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <he frowns, a little disappointed she pulled the blanket up> Well, it wouldn't be polite to just...not show up.  And please, don't think I'm not tempted...
[04:23] arynwyn: Char: <throws the blankets off of her and slips out of bed. she goes over to the dresser and pulls her top drawer open, pulling out a handful of jewelry. she tosses it at him> Take it. Take it all and just go. <scowls and begins to pace, muttering> ...something wrong with me... ...must be my body... ...Ari and Killian had no trouble... 
[04:24] *** You have been disconnected. Fri Oct 12 04:24:24 2007.
[04:25] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Fri Oct 12 04:25:34 2007.
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bad AIM! bad bad!))
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((reply coming))
[04:26] Chaos Angel Sox: <arches an eyebrow and decides to (figuratively at least) pull no punches> That desperate to get laid, are we?  You'll just pick the first masked stranger to prowl through your window...
[04:28] arynwyn: (( sorry, hubby required my attn for a minute. ))
[04:28] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[04:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is a-okay))
[04:30] arynwyn: Char: <glares at him> It's not like that. <she fights back tears of pain and rage, looking away and whispering> ...just go... please... <she slides down the wall into a sitting position in a corner of the room>
[04:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Thief guy: So what are you expecting, pretty lady?  What do you want from me?  And don't tell me "sex" again. <tries to walk over to her and trips on her rug again, barely able to keep from hitting the floor with a thud.  he glares at the rug as though it were possessed of malicious intent, then returns his attention to her>
[04:33] arynwyn: Char: <sighs> Nothing you could or would give. Attention, devotion, feeling... <shakes her head> Nevermind. I can't believe I'm telling this to a stranger, and one who can't walk three feet without tripping... 
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: <sits next to her> ...you realize if I was the man you seem to be taking me for, I'd just screw you and leave?  I might come back for more once in a while, but that's not really devotion, that's "I want to get off and this chick's already proven herself an easy lay."  That isn't what you want.
[04:36] arynwyn: Char: <shrugs> It's something, at least. More attention than I'm getting as it is. <she looks over at him> And if you're not the kind of man who would do that, what kind of man are you? 
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: <returns her look and answers> The kind of man who wouldn't do that.  
 So let me guess, you're one of these upper class ladies who's to be married off to someone without any real say in the matter, but what you really want is romance and love and fairy tales filled with rainbows and unicorns?
[04:40] arynwyn: Char: <rolls her eyes but seems amused> Something like that. The first part, anyway. I don't expect rainbows and unicorns. But I would like to marry for love. Or at least affection... <she shrugs> The man I was supposed to marry recently... died... 
[04:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Should I be giving you condolences or congratulations?
[04:41] arynwyn: Char: <smirks> He was utterly vile. I would have killed myself if I had married him. <shivers> And I was his second choice... I'm never good enough. Never. <sigh>
[04:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Hm. So you're upset that a vile man you didn't want to marry anyway chose you after someone else?  <shrugs> Well at least he's dead.  'Course that means you're back on the market, hm? <can't help casting his eyes over her again> You're not one of those who wants to be ruined so the societal pressure disappears, are you?
[04:46] arynwyn: Char: <shakes her head> No. I just want to feel alive. I'm tired of just living... day in and day out, the same thing over and over. And I'm tired of feeling like I'm not good enough for anything. Or anyone. 
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: <He thinks about this for a bit> ...so really, by offering yourself up to me, you just wanted reassurance that you were good enough for me to accept the offer?
[04:52] arynwyn: (( Sorry, ordered pizza. ))
[04:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay!!!))
[04:53] arynwyn: Char: <sighs> I suppose. And obviously I'm not. So, please, just go... <leans her head against the wall and tries to cover up her tears> 
[04:53] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[04:54] Chaos Angel Sox: <reconsiders for a moment, then re-reconsiders.  He shakes his head and leans over to her to kiss her lingeringly> Pretty lady, I'd love to, really, but when you finally find someone to be with you forever, you'll regret having given away your purity to some random thief in the night instead of the lucky man to win your heart.
[04:56] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him back gently and sweetly, whispering> There will be no such man... <pulls away and stands up> There won't be a chance. 
[04:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Hm? <rising after her> What makes you so sure? <thinking: She looks nice from the back too...damn, I wish I could tell someone about this whole thing.  No one would ever believe me...>
[04:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Dear Penthouse....))
[04:58] arynwyn: Char: It doesn't matter. You should go. Take the jewels, I won't need them. <she bends to pick up the scattered jewelry, then turns to hand them to him> Please, forget all of this. Forget me. 
[04:58] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Damn beer... damn Charise... making me all teary... >.< ))
[04:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awwwww <huggle>))
[04:58] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[04:59] arynwyn: (( Char: You made me and you're blaming ME for making you cry?! Figures... ))
[05:01] Chaos Angel Sox: <studies the jewelry and picks out the smallest object of the pile> I'll be back for another piece...and another kiss...tomorrow night. <he pulls her in hard to kiss her, only he pulled her a little too quickly; he sort of falls back a step, and he misses his kissing aim a little as well, though he gets most of her lips.  He pulls away just enough to clear his throat and realign, giving her a much better kiss this time>
[05:02] arynwyn: Char: <blinks a few times before closing her eyes and kissing him back> You... you're coming back? Maybe I have something to live for afterall...
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course.  There's plenty here worth coming back for...even without the pretty sparklies. <grins and winks at her and ducks out the window a bit more successfully than the previous night...though he does skid a bit on the roof surface as he runs for the neighboring roof>
[05:06] arynwyn: Char: <steps over to the window and watches him go, smiling a little. she whispers> ...I don't even know your name... <she chuckles and closes her window most of the way, then sets her jewelry back in her dresser. she finally climbs back into bed and snuggles into the blankets>
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((next day...not night.))
[05:06] arynwyn: (( okies. should she be in her room? ))
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((nah this'll be down in the shop or just outside it; I don't know why she'd be in there, perhaps passing through?))
[05:07] arynwyn: (( She could be looking for Ari, who is helping Lore in the shop and trying to sell cakes? ))
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((see, you're so clever! <hershey's kiss>))
[05:08] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Haha, I wrote "gigglers"... ))
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snicker>))
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: <Customers milling about>
[05:09] arynwyn: Char: <steps into the shop, looking around for Ari. she needs to ask how to win a man over....>
[05:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh> Good question))
[05:10] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[05:13] arynwyn: (( Pizza! :-D ))
[05:13] Chaos Angel Sox: <There's a customer at the bakery counter, seeming to be having difficulty choosing between all the goodies.  His clothing is casual but of fine material and well fitted to his frame.  His short golden blonde hair's nicely trimmed and brushed back.  He looks up at Charise stepping in> Excuse me, miss? Can I ask your opinion? <he seems to believe she works there>
 
 ((don't ask me where Ari is? Helping ring up people at Lore's counter?))
[05:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
[05:13] arynwyn: (( most likely, yes. ))
[05:15] arynwyn: Char: Er... I don't work here, but I have an opinion, I'm sure. <small smile> (( Should she recognize eyes or anything? )) <she points over to Ari and Lore behind the counter> They work here, if you need a better opinion. 
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Yours will do. <he says in a tone of voice that says he's settling for her instead> The strawberry tart or a slice of chocolate silk pie? What do you think?
 
 ((his voice is....almost familiar.  one of those "right on the tip of my tongue" sort of aggravations.))
[05:18] arynwyn: Char: <eyes him closely> My sister's strawberry tarts are simply heavenly. I would go with that. <she steps away, slightly angry, slightly annoyed, to go to talk to Ari>
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: <taps his foot> Well can I get one please?
[05:20] arynwyn: Char: <turns back to him> I thought I already said I don't work here. If you would like to purchase one, they <points at Lore and Ari again> would be delighted to help you, I'm sure. <glare>
[05:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Well you obviously know them.  I'm sure they wouldn't mind you at least getting the thing out for me so I can go over there and pay for it?  <he hasn't looked over at Lore and Ari once during the entire conversation>  I'm sure you're capable of at least that much.
[05:23] arynwyn: Char: <turns back to him, looking him over> Do I know you? Did my parents send you? Because if they did, you can just leave. <she steps over to a shelf and picks up the tart, handing it to him roughly (though it doesn't damage it)>
[05:23] arynwyn: *though she doesn't damage it
[05:25] Chaos Angel Sox: I don't believe I've had the pleasure. <seems to think about that last word a minute, giving her an obviously appreciative look> Which really is a pity.  <looks at the tart now> Do you have a box for it?  It isn't for me.
 Lore: <Lech senses tingling!  He nudges Ari and nods towards the scene at her counter>
 
[05:27] arynwyn: Char: <pulls out a box and takes the tart from him, setting it in and wrapping it up quickly, just wanting this man away from her>
 Ari: <steps over and smiles> Hello! Ah, I see you're purchasing the tart. Wonderful choice. <she looks at Charise and raises an eyebrow, wondering what in Azeroth has gotten into her> Did you need anything else while you were here? 
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: <He keeps his eyes on Charise as he answers Ari's question> Not at the moment, no.  Thank you.  <finally looks to Ari and smiles politely> What do I owe you?
[05:31] arynwyn: Ari: <glances between the two and smiles at the man> (( Dunno how much. Just making something up... )) Two gold. 
 Char: <hands the man the box, then pushes past him and heads back toward the commonroom, scowling>
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: <He watches her go then smiles at Ari again, handing over his gold pieces pleasantly> There's a resemblance...a sister, perhaps?
[05:34] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs as she goes, and nods to the man> Yes, she's my sister. A year older than me. <shakes her head> She doesn't act like it sometimes though. <chuckle> Do come back if you like the tart. <another bright smile>
[05:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Thank you.  Your goods come highly recommended.  I'm sure it'll be delicious. <tips his ((non-Zorro)) hat to her, smiles, looks back the way Charise went briefly and then heads out>
[05:36] arynwyn: (( Night again? ))
[05:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[05:38] arynwyn: Char: <sits curled up on her bed, reading a book by candlelight. she's wearing a nightgown, but the more conservative type>
[05:38] arynwyn: <the window is open>
[05:40] Chaos Angel Sox: <ducks his head in the window and frowns faintly> Awww, what happened to the black and slinky? <grins at her as he tries to come in smoothly but falls again.  Mental note: coming in head first always bad. He stands sheepishly and dusts himself off>
[05:42] arynwyn: Char: <looks up and smiles, going over to help him up> I didn't think you liked it. I can change, if you want. <she steps over to her dresser and pulls out the blank lingerie piece> Yes? <dangles it>
[05:42] Chaos Angel Sox: <ker-smirk> ...do I get to watch you change?
[05:44] arynwyn: Char: <grins> Perhaps... <she pushes her hair back and starts to undress, very slowly and seductively>
[05:45] arynwyn: Char: But then, you only came for a kiss and a jewel... <stops just as her breasts would be exposed>
[05:45] arynwyn: (( Heh, sorry. ))
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <blinks and thinks: Damn, she was serious...um...wow.  He clears his throat as she stops and forces his eyes back up to her face> Well....you're...technically correct...but I don't mind surprises.  <clears his throat again> I...um...I'm not honestly expecting you to be my own private strip show.  <the look in his eyes says he really wouldn't mind though, especially as they leave her face and wander south>
 
 ((oh the reason his voice is only a little familiar in the shop is because he constantly keeps his voice pitched low in these interactions, so no one hears him.  Forget to keep mentioning that...))
[05:48] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay. ))
[05:50] arynwyn: Char: <smirks and steps closer, completing the act of undressing. she tosses the nightgown aside and starts to pull on the slinky black piece, but again, very slowly. she licks her lips for effect>
[05:52] arynwyn: (( At this point she thinks the man in the shop was someone she knew from back home, someone her parents introduced her to at a party or something. ))
[05:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ... ... ...<Did I die and go to heaven? Dear gods... he barely manages to stifle a whimper and clears his throat>...are...<that comes out as a squeak; he clears his throat a second time>...are you TRYING to drive me mad, pretty lady?
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> excellent. ^_^ ))
[05:56] arynwyn: Char: <smirks> If I were trying to do that, I would redress at all... Now that you mention it, though, that might be kind of fun... <ponders> Maybe another night. Assuming you want to come back? <You better come back... Gods, please...>
[05:56] arynwyn: *wouldn't redress
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <smiles, getting himself back under control> Well, you've still got jewelry for me to snitch...oh, and...<steps up to her, cups her chin to lift her lips to his and kisses her; he intended the kiss to be soft but it comes out with a bit more zeal than originally planned.  He loops his other arm around her waist to hold her in place close to him>
[06:01] arynwyn: Char: <presses against him and kisses him back with her usual desperation, pulling away after a few moments> The jewelry is in my top drawer. Am I allowed something tonight? There's something I want...
[06:03] Chaos Angel Sox: After the lovely display I just got, whatever you want should be perfectly allowable, pretty lady.  Is it my turn to strip? <opening a few buttons on his shirt to start exposing chest>
[06:04] arynwyn: Char: <raises an eyebrow and giggles> Well, that's not what I was thinking, but I won't protest... <she grins and watches>
[06:04] arynwyn: (( Double deja vu. >.> ))
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: <leaves the buttons undone but doesn't go any further> What *did* you want?
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((what is?))
[06:05] arynwyn: (( what we just wrote. ))
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah. ^_^ ))
[06:06] arynwyn: Char: <pouts a little as he stops> Well, I would like a name, if that's permissible?... <she plays with the part of the shirt that's unbuttoned, touching what little skin is exposed>
[06:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <smiles at her> Well, for now I'm afraid you'll just have to call me The Nick.  Trade name, you know.  <kisses her again>
[06:10] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and kisses him back. when he pulls away she nods> The Nick... interesting. <she leans in to kiss his neck and chest a few times> Do you want to know my name? 
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: It would give me something to call you besides "pretty lady".
[06:12] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> I kind of like "pretty lady"... but... I'm Charise. <blushes a little and pulls away, stepping over to her dresser> What happens when I run out of jewelry? Do you stop coming?
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Hm. Hadn't thought that far ahead....Charise.  Pretty name for a pretty lady. <smile>  I suppose so long as I have *something* here to steal...
 
 
 (("Nick? What does that mean?" "Oh, nothing; my father thought of it while he was shaving.))
[06:14] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[06:16] arynwyn: Char: <smiles lightly> I hope you don't stop coming... This is really the only thing I look forward to. Perhaps if I run out of things for you to take, I'll have to pick up stealing myself... <she smirks and goes to sit on her bed, leaning back on her hands to show off her chest> 
[06:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <appreciates the view for a moment> I warn you, it isn't as easy as I make it look. <starts to walk over to her and trips on the rug, falling on his face>
[06:17] arynwyn: Char: <giggles softly and goes to help him up> I'm sure it's not. <she sits back down on the bed, resuming her position>
[06:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <think: I should leave before I do something *really* stupid...> I'd hate to see you stoop to a life of crime.  If you got caught, I'd never forgive myself. <think: ...um, talk to her face, perv; he adjusts his gaze appropriately>
[06:22] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[06:24] arynwyn: Char: <shrugs> It would be more interesting than what I'm doing now, which is nothing. <she smiles up at him, unsure what she should say or do. she shivers> Do you... <clears her throat> ...nevermind...
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Do I...what? Curiosity is one of my weaknesses, I confess. <he flares his cape out dramatically as he sits on the bed, careful not to be right up next to her>
[06:26] arynwyn: Char: <shakes her head> No, it's nothing. Please, just forget it. <small smile> Pick out a piece of jewelry to take? <trying to change the subject>
[06:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <shrugs> I'll just wriggle it out of you next time perhaps.  I guarantee piquing my curiosity will bring me back. <kisses her quickly and stands again> I'll let you choose what to give me.  I'm sure it all fences well.
[06:29] arynwyn: Char: <kisses back and stands as well, crossing to the dresser. she looks at her jewelry, at the family heirlooms she's giving to this man she hardly knows, and sighs. she picks out a ring adorned with rubies and diamonds and hands it to him, trying not to think about how her grandmother must be turning in her grave. she doesn't look at him as she gives it up>
[06:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <smiles and kisses her cheek> Thank you, pretty Charise.  I'll be back tomorrow night, I promise.
[06:32] arynwyn: Char: <nods but doesn't kiss back, stepping away to watch him go> I'll be here. <What a sad person I am, having to pay a stranger, a thief, for affection...>
[06:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I hope so.  This is the highlight of my nights...and days. <turns and ducks out the window with a bit more ease than previously; he's getting used to it now>
[06:35] arynwyn: Char: <goes to close the window against the cold and changes back into her more comfortable nightgown. she crawls into bed and sighs, blowing out the candle and closing her eyes>
[06:35] arynwyn: (( Day again, or night? ))
[06:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm. day. ^_^))
[06:35] arynwyn: (( Shop? ))
[06:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods>))
[06:36] arynwyn: (( Mkay. Methinks she asked Ari if she could help her out with her business, just to have something to do... ))
[06:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kewl))
[06:36] arynwyn: Char: <dusts off the shelves behind Ari's counter, careful to keep away from the cakes and pies. she's mellow today, tired after a long night of nightmares and dark thoughts>
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <the gentleman from yesterday returns. He grins widely when he sees her at the counter> Well, well.  Decide to share your opinions professionally now? I admit, the tart was a good choice.
[06:40] arynwyn: Char: <turns and gives a small smile> My sister was kind enough to let me help her with business. What can I get for you today? Banana cream pie? Triple chocolate cake? Or perhaps the chocolate mousse?
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Well, what do you recommend?  Oh, and I meant to ask if you deliver?  Having a beautiful woman showing up at my townhouse with delicious baked goods in hand would make me the absolute envy of all my friends. <smirk> 
[06:43] arynwyn: Char: <blinks> I would have to ask my sister, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind... <glances over at Ari who is holding Lore's hand> And I recommend the chocolate mousse. <she turns to take it from the shelf to show it off>
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Well, I was thinking more of having you deliver. <leaning across the counter to be closer to her, grinning deviously> I'm having a party this weekend.  You could come, bring my order, maybe stay for some drinks...
[06:47] arynwyn: Char: <studies him closely, her mind drifting to the thief and back> I... I suppose I could do that. <Is this really happening? Attention, without having to pay for it?...> What would you like? <she pulls out a piece of parchment to take the order> And what day and time do you want them delivered? <feels herself blushing>
[06:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <He gives instructions for a large order of assorted pastries, day, time and place> It's just a little thing, no need to be *too* fancy.  Maybe something, mmm, short and slinky? <eyeing her figure again, remembering what she looks like without clothes on.  He clears his throat> Or whatever you have, really.
[06:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<torn between heating up chili or making spiral mac...>))
[06:53] arynwyn: Char: <raises an eyebrow> Alright. I'll be there. With the <smirk> goods. <she scribbles what he told her and then nods> That's going to be a hefty sum... Do you want to pay now or upon delivery?
[06:53] arynwyn: (( I vote chili, but that's cause I love chili and haven't had any in ages... ))
[06:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Well, I'll buy some chocolate mousse now, since you recommend it, and I'll pay half now and half on delivery for my order?  Will that be acceptable? <still looking her up and down>
[06:55] arynwyn: Char: <nods> I'll wrap it up for you. <she grabs a box and wraps it up> Then that comes to... <does some math> twenty two gold now, and another twenty on delivery. Sound fair?
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: <he nods> Quite. <tosses the coin nonchalantly onto the counter> Oh, do you need a name for the order?
 
 ((as I scramble to come up with a last name))
[06:56] arynwyn: Char: <takes the coin and nods> That would help, yes. 
[06:57] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[06:59] arynwyn: (( Have you read The Thief Lord? ))
[07:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Doranar.  Jaes Doranar. <watching her write it down>
 
 ((No, but I've heard of it.))
[07:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((there's a blood elf named Matis.  Weird. I had an elf in one of my stories named Matis. >.> ))
[07:00] arynwyn: (( oooo, very good book. more for teens or younger readers, but it's very interesting and well written. I'd recommed it. ))
[07:01] arynwyn: Char: <nods and scribbles the name down> Thank you very much, Lord Doranar. I will see you then. <smile>
[07:01] arynwyn: (( Heh, nice. )
[07:01] arynwyn: ))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Matis V'Anjoan.  The Honorable Dark Survivor.  <giggles> Poor boy.  <cough> ....anyway....))
[07:02] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[07:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <grins> I hope so.  The more I see of you, the more I like. <takes the chocolate mousse and saunters out with a tip of his hat>
[07:04] arynwyn: (( FF to night or the party? ))
[07:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ummm, night first... ))
[07:05] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[07:07] arynwyn: Char: <is sifting through her clothes in her closet, looking for the perfect dress and not coming up with anything. she wonders if she may have to go home to find something, but decides that's pretty much out of the question. she goes to count her money, trying to decide if she has enough to buy a new dress. she may, if she finances right>
[07:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <slides into the window feet first again, and attempts to sneak up on her...only he hits that creaky floorboard again>
[07:09] arynwyn: Char: <smiles, and turns, holding a long blue dress up to her body, trying to decide if it would work. she sighs and tosses it aside. she steps over to him> 
[07:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <grins> No need to dress up for me, I promise. <slides his arms around her waist> People who come in windows don't exactly stand on ceremony.
[07:13] arynwyn: Char: <leans up to kiss him gently> I'm afraid it's not for you. I've been invited to a party, sort of. I'm going to deliver some baked goods and I was told I could stay for a drink or two. <she shrugs> It will probably be boring, but it's good for my sister's business. Plus it gets me out of this house.
[07:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Oh? Making new friends, are we?
[07:14] *** You have been disconnected. Fri Oct 12 07:14:52 2007.
[07:14] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Fri Oct 12 07:14:53 2007.
[07:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Bad AIM! Bad!))
[07:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<whaps AIM>))
[07:15] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles> I'm not sure. <she's watching him closely> The man seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on where I know him from. And the way he looks at me... gives me shivers. <half smile> But it's probably my imagination... I'm just the delivery girl. (( <turns on porn music> ))
[07:15] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[07:15] arynwyn: (( Oh no! <huggles> ))
[07:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs and huggles> bow-chicka-bow-wow!))
[07:16] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[07:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Shivers?  Good shivers, <running a finger along her spine> or bad shivers?
[07:17] arynwyn: Char: <closes her eyes and... shivers> Good. Very good. <feels slightly out of breath> 
[07:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Hmm.  Should I be jealous? <think: Of myself? That'd be funny...>
[07:20] arynwyn: Char: <opens her eyes> What would you be jealous of? I mean... it's just a party. I'm just delivering cakes. And this thing between us... I don't even know what it is. <And why would you be jealous of yourself? <mental giggle>>
[07:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <grins> I really hadn't thought about defining it.  But if I find out he's stealing jewelry from you too...he and I will have to have words...<chortle>
[07:24] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles> At the rate you're snitching it, I won't have any left for him to steal. <she pulls away> But I need to find a dress for this party... Nothing I have seems suiting. I'm going to have to buy something, I think. <she goes back to her coinpurse to count again>
[07:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick:  I suppose you can't show up in that stunning nightgown.  Might be a tad inappropriate. <stifles a sigh>
[07:29] arynwyn: Char: <giggles> Mmh. I thought I might take it along though, just in case... <is glad she's looking away from him because she makes a face when she stifles her laughter> He requested something short and slinky... Hm. I recall seeing a lovely black gown at the local tailor shop... I'll have to go check out the price tomorrow. I hope it's not too much. 
[07:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: ...just in case, hm?  <torn between advising her to take it or not to take it, he decides to just drop the matter entirely> Well, you'll have to tell me all about it when you return. <he rests his hands on her shoulders and bends to kiss her neck softly>
 
 ((for some reason, I keep thinking of this one yaoi comic I read a long time ago...))
[07:34] arynwyn: (( yaoi comic? ))
[07:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yaoi = guys having sex with other guys.  'course by "guys" we mean "so pretty they might as well be girls" usually....<cough>))
[07:34] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and turns, wrapping her arms around him and leaning up to kiss him> Of course. 
[07:34] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Nice. ))
[07:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((in this story, this guy finds a box with a genie inside of it, basically.  But the genie keeps wanting to have sex with him in exchange for granting wishes.  So at one point, the genie's putting the moves on the guy, being all seductive saying, "I'll do whatever you want..." And the guy says "Really?"  And of course the genie's kissing on his neck and rubbing his chest under his shirt and says, "Anything."  And the guy goes, real deadpan: "Get back in the box."  "WHAT?!"  "You heard me."  "<sulk, disappear>"))
[07:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't know why I'm thinking of that right now.))
[07:37] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Nice. ))
[07:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <kisses her deeply, threading fingers into her hair> And what sort of delivery is this you're making anyway?  I thought you didn't have a job? <as his brain wakes up and tries to cover his tracks>
[07:39] arynwyn: Char: <leans in to kiss his neck softly> I've started helping my sister with her pastry business. Mostly as a clerk, and now a delivery. I wonder if it will turn into more than one delivery... <musing against his skin>
[07:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Well, that's the mark of a growing business, hm?  Nice of you to help your family out, pretty lady.
[07:41] arynwyn: Char: Mmh. Keeping myself busy to make the days go by faster... <still kissing and sucking on his neck>
[07:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <gently steps away> Hungry? I can't taste that good... <think: compared to your sister's mousse.  Damn that was tasty; he smirks at her, resting a hand on her cheek and brushing his thumb over her bottom lip>
[07:45] arynwyn: Char: <smiles lightly> Sorry... <she looks away, blushing> Jewelry... <she moves to her dresser and sifts through, coming up with a long diamond necklace> I was going to wear this to the party but... <she shrugs and holds it out for him>
[07:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <pushes it away> Then do so.  I can take something else tonight. ....and don't be sorry.  It's nice to feel wanted, hm?
[07:48] arynwyn: Char: <still not looking at him> No, take it. I'll borrow something from my sister. <she puts it in his hand and wraps his fingers in around it, then steps back over to her dresses and begins to stuff them back in the closet>
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <frowns and sets the necklace down. He puts a hand on her arm> ...you want me to leave? <he asks quietly>
[07:51] arynwyn: Char: <turns to look at him> No, of course not. I've just already embarrassed myself and don't want to do anything else stupid... <fidgets> And the necklace... I'm feeling good tonight. It's my favorite piece of jewelry and if I don't give it up when I'm feeling good, then I may throw a fit about it later. It's best if you take it tonight, I think.
[07:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Good mood, hm?  <smiles at her, kissing her softly> Well that's good news.  I'll be back, of course.  Count on it.  <tries to back away from her and...of course, is tripped up by the rug.  He hits his head pretty hard, and his first thought is Crap, noise...out of habit>
[07:56] arynwyn: Char: <kneels next to him and casts a healing spell quickly> Are you alright? <she looks down at him worriedly> (( Oh, and is he leaving the necklace? ))
[07:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> yes he is)) Nick: Ahh...better already....thank you.  Quite a talent you have there.
[07:58] arynwyn: Char: <shakes her head> No, I'm a very bad priest. Hardly trained at all. <she stands and helps him to his feet> Do try and be more careful... <smiles and leans up to kiss him gently>
[07:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <kisses her back> I'll try.  <climbs halfway out the window> Till tomorrow night, pretty lady. <winks and tries to turn smoothly but ends up nearly falling off the roof again>
[08:00] arynwyn: Char: <winces and then closes the window, turning back to finish cleaning up the room. she notices the necklace where he set it down and smiles, going to pick it up. she looks it over for a moment, then drops it back with the rest of her jewelry and goes to put her dresses away>
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((party time? ^_^))
[08:01] arynwyn: (( Sure thing! ))
[08:02] arynwyn: (( Uhm. How should I do the delivery part? >.> ))
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm...<shrugs> just show up and knock on door?))
[08:03] arynwyn: (( But she's going to have a crap-ton of boxes, isn't she? ))
[08:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm, probably.  She could have a small wagon or something with her? a cart of some sort?))
[08:06] arynwyn: Char: <arrives in a small taxi carriage and steps down. she pays the boy a small fee to carry the boxes to the door behind her. she walks up the path and knocks on the door, feeling excited and nervous. she was able to afford the dress she saw in the shop: a knee-length black dress with a high slit up the left side and a low neckline. it's scandalous by Rav's standards, but conservative for Xenoliya>
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry getting the mac & cheese))
[08:11] arynwyn: (( no worries! ))
[08:12] Chaos Angel Sox: <a butler answers the door and is about to direct her to the back door, then remembers his instructions and lets her in> The pastries should be delivered to the kitchen.  Young master Doranar is in the parlor at the moment <gesturing to where it is>
[08:13] arynwyn: Char: <nods to the boy behind her> He will take the pastries to the kitchen in my place, if that's alright. He's been paid. <she glances to the parlor nervously>
[08:16] Chaos Angel Sox: <the butler bows out.  The parlor has tables laden with gorgeous foods and pricey booze, though a spot's been clearly left for the pastries.  Only a few people are here so far, but Jaes spots her, grins and waves her in with the hand not holding his drink>
[08:17] arynwyn: Char: <smiles at him and steps into the parlor, heading over to him. she nods her head in respect> My Lord. Thank you for inviting me in. <she looks around the room at the few people, wondering if she knows anyone>
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Thank you for coming...and for looking so very...stunning. <dropping his gaze over her> Drink?
 <there are a couple other men and a woman; the latter narrows her eyes at Charise>
[08:19] arynwyn: Char: <blinks at the woman and looks back at Jaes> Yes, please. I would love one. 
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles at her, and his eyes travel to the other woman.  His smile falters ever so slightly, but he nods at her and then redirects his focus to Charise.  He gestures to the booze table> What would you like?  Wine, champagne...brandy, port, gin, rum...nearly anything you could want.
[08:23] arynwyn: Char: <looks impressed> I haven't had champagne in ages... Perhaps a glass of that? <she glances back at the woman uneasily>
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Of course. <grabs a flute and fills it with pretty, bubbly spirits, then hands it to her> Champagne...fancy taste for a girl who sells pastries. <grins at her, and is obviously ignoring the woman on the other side of the room.  The two men seem content to talk to each other quietly, though they throw Charise the occasional glance>
[08:27] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> Well... My family is not one of merchants. Perhaps you know the name- Vel'Ranian? I on sort of a holiday. <she sips the champagne and tries to keep her attention on only him>
[08:27] arynwyn: *I'm on
[08:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Ah, yes.  Haven't met the family, but I've heard the name.  <chuckles and sips his drink> So you're taking a holiday from a life of pampered leisure by getting a job?  And here I thought you were just easy on the eyes; now I find out you've your charming little eccentricities as well.
[08:31] arynwyn: Char: <grins> Well, my sister ran away from home and got engaged, and now runs the pastry business. I was sent to fetch her home but instead I decided to stay a while. To pass the time, I help her out. <sip>
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Ah, yes, one must do what one can for family. So tell me then...how many men must you shoo away every day? <insinuating himself closer to her> I would guess the number to be at least in the double digits.
 <The woman sniffs and flounces indignantly out of the parlor>
[08:36] arynwyn: Char: <watches her go out of the corner of her eye> Men? <sighs and takes a long drink> None. My sisters get all the men. Arianna was in the city for only two days before she wrote home and said she was engaged. Who is that woman? The one who just left?
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <bites back a snarky comment and says instead> Someone I'm required to invite.  Unlike you.  Shall I give you a tour?
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm....on one hand he wants to teach her a lesson, on the other hand, he wants to be nice....))
[08:37] arynwyn: Char: <takes another sip and nods> That would be lovely.
[08:38] arynwyn: (( ?? ))
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Should Jaes behave himself or not?))
[08:38] arynwyn: (( Dunno. Depends on what it's about. The woman? ))
[08:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No. If he does anything, it'd be to make a point about making assumptions about him.  She assumes the thief will gladly have sex with her at the drop of a hat, and, in his mind, she apparently assumes she's perfectly safe going to the house of a man she doesn't know just because he's a "gentleman".))
[08:40] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Sounds like fun. Sure, if you want to, go for it. ))
[08:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hee.  okay.))
 Jaes: <rests a hand on the small of her back and guides her gently out of the parlor> So you've seen the front hall...I'm afraid there's really not much to the place.  Small, you know?  Sort of roughing it here. <grins at her> There's a sitting room through here...but Tylica's probably in there sulking.  Um, dining room you'll see later if you stay for dinner...and kitchens, feh, boring.  There are the gardens out back, but I think you'll get a better view of them from the upstairs balcony.
[08:45] arynwyn: Char: <nods to all of this, sipping her drink and letting herself be led> The place is beautiful, really. Reminds me of home. <smile>
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <chuckles self-importantly> Oh you flatter my humble abode.  <leading her upstairs and pulling her in closer to his side as they go> Careful, not much room in the stairwell...
[08:47] arynwyn: Char: <smirks a little and steps in close to him, looking around> 
[08:48] arynwyn: (( She's wearing the necklace, I forgot to mention. ))
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :3 ))
[08:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <leads her upstairs> The balcony's this way <and leads her casually into the master suite, closing the door quietly behind them.  There is indeed a set of French doors on the right side of the room, with white ethereal curtains doing very little to block the sunlight coming in. He guides her towards the doors, past the four-poster bed (also draped with gauzy curtains, red instead of white)>
[08:52] arynwyn: Char: <looks around and drains the last of her drink> ...Hm, out of champagne... 
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <opening the doors> We'll see if the gardens can't intoxicate you instead. <And indeed, though the walled-in garden below them is fairly small, the grass is lush, green, and well-manicured.  Eruptions of multi-colored flowers wind in lovely swirling patterns around the edges; there's a small fountain in the middle and a couple of beautiful benches set out for flower-viewing.  He insists her forward by replacing his hand on her back>
[08:56] arynwyn: Char: Damn. I needed you to offer to get me a refill... Oh well, I'll have to find another opportunity... <she gasps softly> It's beautiful! I wish we had something this lovely at home... <she watches the fountain and becomes mesmerized by the sound of the water falling>
[08:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I'm glad it pleases you.  <stepping in closer to her> I'm glad you came.  Been a long time since I've had such beautiful company. <his hand on her back slides lower to caress her backside insinuatingly>
[08:58] arynwyn: (( Just to check... Jaes doesn't know her first name, right? ))
[08:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, he hasn't been told. ^_^ ))
[08:59] arynwyn: Char: <turns around and looks at him> I can see why. <she pulls away and starts toward the door> 
[09:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <takes quick hold of her arm, but not holding her too tightly> Come, come...<almost says "pretty lady"> my sweetmeat, we both know why you agreed to come here.  And I'm really not one for coy games.  Most of the guests will be "fashionably late" anyway...we have plenty of time...
[09:04] arynwyn: Char: <yanks her arm from him> You're not one for games? Excuse me? You're the one that parades around as a thief at night. And you're the one toying with my emotions. I'm not stupid, you know. And you know what? I think I like you much better as The Nick. <heads toward the door again>
[09:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <stalks after her, taking hold of her and pulling her around to face him, grabbing her other arm to hold her in place; he pitches his voice low again, and it becomes immediately recognizable> Then tell me that's the reason you accepted the invitation.  Tell me you didn't just put yourself in a position to be taken advantage of otherwise.
[09:12] arynwyn: Char: <freezes at the sudden lack of control> I... What? When I accepted, it was just drinks... I wouldn't have followed anyone else upstairs or anywhere... <she begins to tremble and wishes desperately she was back at the guild hall, in bed, waiting for The Nick to show up. she fights back tears> 
[09:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Kind of hard to believe when the first thing you wanted out of me was casual sex for no reason other than to make yourself feel better.  I'm not safe because I'm a nobleman anymore than I'm unscrupulous because I'm a thief.  I know a lot of men who are noble in title only.  They would have no doubt in their belief that your coming to the house of a man you hardly know is an indication of how easily you can be obtained, and they would have no hesitation in "obtaining" what they want from you.  Get you drunk, find a reason to get you alone.
[09:19] arynwyn: Char: <the tears start> Just... stop. Please. Just leave me alone. <tries to pull away> ...it had nothing to do with you being a thief... 
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <sighs and lets go of one of her arms to pull his handkerchief out and offer it to her, then lets go of her entirely> Just...don't ever do this again, with someone you can't trust to behave themselves.  Please.  <kisses her cheek quickly, tasting her tears on his lips, then straightens up and leaves the room, making sure as he does that there's no one in the hallway spying on them>
[09:24] arynwyn: Char: <takes the handkerchief and tries to wipe the tears away, but they continue to fall for another few minutes. when she finally calms, she straightens her dress and smooths her hair, checking her appearance in a mirror. she looks herself over and her eyes settle on the necklace. she pulls it off and drops it on his dresser, then steps out of the door>
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <is back in the parlor, taking whiskey shots; the pastries are brought out on a 4 tier silver serving platter.  He looks at them and pours another shot, angry at Charise for endangering herself, angry at himself for making her cry, and mostly just annoyed that he likely won't be able to really talk with her until after his guests have gone home...assuming she doesn't lock and bar her window tonight>
[09:30] arynwyn: Char: <steps into the parlor and gives a small bow> I must take my leave, my Lord. Do enjoy the pastries. My sister would love your continued business. <she doesn't look at him> I hope your party goes well. <she leaves before he has a chance to say, well, anything>
[09:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <sighs and resigns himself to feigned levity for the next few hours>
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so will she let him in her window that night? ^_^ ))
[09:33] arynwyn: (( <nod> Lemme post. ))
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Kk))
[09:35] arynwyn: <her window is closed most of the way against the cold, but it's not locked. Charise is in bed, her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. right below the window, on the floor, is the handkerchief, spread out, and the last of her jewelry. next to this lies a note that reads [ Take what you originally came for, thief. There is nothing else worth taking here. ]>
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: <He opens the window and comes in quietly, careful not to step on the handkerchief, jewelry or not.  He stifles a sigh and sets a gift-wrapped box next to the jewelry.  He walks over to the bed and hesitates, pondering his actions.  Finally he leans down to brush his lips against her forehead softly, then steals out again, making this his most graceful intrusion into her room yet. He closes the window carefully and fades away into the night>
[09:41] arynwyn: Char: <sits up as he leaves, a tear sliding down her cheek. she crawls out of bed and over to the box, pulling the ribbon and paper off>
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: <The box contains every piece of jewelry he's taken from her...and the diamond necklace she left.>
[09:42] Chaos Angel Sox: *handkerchief, jewelry or note.  Yeesh
[09:45] arynwyn: Char: <sighs and leans back against her bed> Gods, now what? Why am I cursed like this? What do I do now? Do I go after him? Or is this a lost cause... Did I screw everything up already? <she picks up the jewelry and puts it in her dresser, then slips into a heavy woolen shirt and pants, both black, and boots, then steps out of her room. she walks the distance to Jaes townhouse, keeping to the shadows, trying to figure out what she should do when she gets there. when she arrives, she sneaks around back to the garden> (( I'm going to assume some stuff here, so if it's not how it's supposed to be, let me know... ))
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((eh is fine ^_^ ))
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't have everything hard and fast in my mind about him or his place yet))
[09:48] arynwyn: Char: <she hoists herself up over the wall and drops into the garden, then looks up at the balcony. she notices latticework against the house that some vines are growing on and she thinks maybe she can scale them to reach the balcony> It's worth a shot, I suppose... <she starts to climb and as the wood cracks, she mentally curses that half a chocolate cake she ate when she got home... but she manages to reach the balcony without falling and struggles to pull herself up over it> (( Doors locked? Open? ))
[09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Closed but unlocked))
[09:49] arynwyn: Char: <tries the door and, when she finds it unlocked, she pushes them open, apprehensive. she has a sudden mental image that she walks in on Jaes with another woman, but she forces it aside and steps into the room quietly>
[09:53] Chaos Angel Sox: <A sword flashes at her throat and then stops just short of piercing her skin> Jaes: <sighs and lowers the sword; he's shirtless and barefoot, but still wearing his black pants.  His hair's dyed black (it was hard to see before under the hat he habitually wears)> Decided to steal some things from me to call us even? <he shrugs> Help yourself; either way, I'm not much good with these things <sheathing the sword and returning it to a decorative stand near his bed>.
[09:54] arynwyn: Char: <blinks and recoils a moment, until he puts the sword away> No, please... It's nothing like that. I don't want anything from you other than some time... I just want to talk.
[09:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <beckons to her and crosses the room to his bathroom where he has a basin set up> I need to wash this stuff out of my hair <tugging on a strand of artificially black hair>.  Probably the part of my nightly routine I hate the most. <drapes a towel around his neck and starts pouring water over his head; blackened water cascades into the basin> ...so, what did you want to talk about? <he tries to sound casual, but it doesn't really come out well filtered through how upset he is with himself>
[10:00] arynwyn: Char: <steps in next to him and takes the pitcher to pour the water for him> I just... need to know how badly I screwed this up. Is it beyond repair? Or are you... done. With me. <wipes at a tear on her face with her shoulder as she pours more water on his hair>
[10:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "A very sweet old lady came into the shop asking for help with getting her camera to work. The "getting it to work" part was easy, since it just had dead batteries, but the "camera" part not so much. 
  
 I tested it out with some of our shop's batteries first just to show her it would work with new ones. I made sure to demonstrate very clearly how it would work too, by pulling up the antenna, turning up the volume, and adjusting the tuning back and forth trying to find a station. I don't think she'll ever find film to fit it, but whatever she thinks her radio is, it will work now." ))
[10:01] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <stands up, pulling the towel up over his hair to scrub at it briefly> How badly you screwed this up?...whatever this is.  I didn't bother trying to define it when things were going well and I could just show up, use thieving as an excuse to see you, snitch some kisses and run off again.  <shakes his head and lets the towel fall back to his shoulders> This isn't your fault.  I'm just...used to protecting women.  And I especially don't want anything to happen to you. <reaches a hand to her cheek, hoping she won't smack it away>
[10:06] arynwyn: Char: <sets the pitcher down and steps in close to him, wrapping her arms around him and holding his hand to her cheek> You were right, though... I was stupid about the whole thing. I mean, after you invited me, I figured out it was you, but right when you asked... <she sniffs> I don't want you to leave. I don't want this, yes "this", whatever "this" is, to be over... 
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles faintly at her, hair dripping onto her a little as he slides the hand on her cheek into her hair and wraps his other hand around her waist> So...am I still burgling your place, or is this going to become a common occurrence?
[10:10] arynwyn: Char: <looks up at him> Whatever you want. I can come to you, if it will make you happy. Or if you enjoy sneaking into my room, you can do that too. I don't care. <she's still clinging to him tightly>
[10:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Probably best I come to you.  If any questions get raised about your virtue, at least you can point out that I broke into your room.  If you get caught coming here, there's less...um...wiggle room, as it were.  Besides, if you break your neck on that trellis, I'd never forgive myself. <leans in to kiss her gently>
[10:15] arynwyn: Char: <leans up to kiss him back, a wave of relief causing more tears to spill down her cheeks> Tell me we will get to spend more time together than just a stolen hour each night?... 
[10:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I could court you properly, if you like?  Get permission from your parents, treat you properly as society requires?  <grins>...in addition to my more...inappropriate visitations.
[10:19] arynwyn: Char: Oh, I... I couldn't hope for anything like that... <turns very red> I mean, you are probably the most handsome, most available bachelor in Silvermoon. I'm sure you have lines of women wanting a date with you. <Please argue with me. Please say you don't care about the other women. Tell me you want to court me, that it's what *you* want...>
[10:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <pulls her in close and says, right against her lips>I'll write your parents in the morning then...<before kissing her>
[10:22] arynwyn: Char: <smiles as she kisses him, hardly breathing> You really want to do that? I mean... Ugh, nevermind. <she grins and kisses him hard> 
[10:27] arynwyn: (( Okay, so I've got to be honest. If *I* were to hook up with one of your guy chars, it would *so* be Jaes... <giggle> ))
[10:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <holds her to him tightly before pulling away slowly> I don't do things I don't want to do, in general.  <he smiles at her> You should go home.  I can have someone walk you back there, to make sure you're safe and relatively unseen.  <he sighs> Society is all about being seen, and being seen doing the right things.  It's part of why I started prowling around at night, making sure no one can see me.  And I will be so very happy to be seen with you...in proper settings, at proper times.  I'll do my best to make sure no one sees me with you at any other time...I won't have anyone questioning your honor. <finger combing her hair>
 
 ((<Laughs> Jaes: I'm flattered. <bow>  Lore: HEY!  <Keth and Ash have Zadie and Hal; they're fine.>))
[10:31] arynwyn: Char: <nods> You are so much more intelligent than me. I get so wrapped up in what I want that I tend to... throw common sense out the window. <small smile> I will try to be better. <she pulls away and turns to leave the bathroom> The escort home would be much appreciated. I was scared out of my wits walking here. But I needed to see you.
[10:32] arynwyn: (( <chuckle> Lore, you're a little too... wild for me. <shrug> Jaes is so... mysterious and whimsical, but funny at the same time. And under all of that, he's a really sweet, rich, good looking guy. Not that you're not good looking, Lore. ))
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles faintly> I'm glad you did....though I was resolved to ask your parents' permission to court you anyway.  I was just a little worried I'd show up for our first "official" date and have my flowers thrown back in my face.  I'd already decided not to get roses, just in case.  Thorns hurt.
 
 ((Lore: I'm rich...well, I'm the heir to a comfortably well-off family.  And I'm not sweet? <pouts cutely>  Kat: <whaps Lore> Stop stealing my moves!  And no, you're not sweet, you're a lech.))
[10:37] arynwyn: Char: <looks back at him, surprised> You were? You were going to ask them? <looks down at the ground, unable to force the grin from her face> You're amazing. <shakes her head and walks out into the bedroom> 
[10:37] arynwyn: (( Bleh... must sleep. >.< ))
[10:38] arynwyn: (( Sorry Lore. You just can't beat the whole thief-in-the-night thing. That's just too cool. <grin> ))
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay.  Wrap this up real quick then...))
 Jaes: <pulls a rope and resumes towel drying his hair as he follows her back into the bedroom> I tend not to give up when I set my sights on something....though temporary retreats are sometimes necessary.  <kisses her quickly before the servant comes in; he addresses the man> Miss Vel'Ranian came to return something to me.  See she's properly escorted home...and that no one sees you two.  
 <The servant bows and comments> I'll be waiting in the kitchens <before leaving>
 Jaes: I won't see you in daylight again until I get your parents' formal permission to do so.  But I'll see you again tomorrow night. <smile>
[10:42] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him again quickly> Tomorrow night, then. And I'll pester my parents until they answer. <squeezes his hand and heads for the door>
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: ...as crude as it might be...I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave. <smirks for a minute then clears his throat> Forgive me, some things just need to be said.  I suppose the nicer version is that you're beautiful from every angle.  <shrug> They're both true.  <bows deeply, the towel falling to the floor> Take care until I can see you again.  And...you can keep the jewelry from now on, hm?
[10:46] arynwyn: Char: <grins back at him> You too, Jaes. Be careful. <makes a mental note to ask him why he goes thieving when he has everything he ever wanted right here... or maybe he never actually takes anything from anyone...; she blows him a kiss over her shoulder and steps out, shutting the door behind her quietly>
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You.  Go sleep. ^_^ ))
[10:47] arynwyn: (( Work tonight? ))
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nope, just lab in a couple hours))
[10:48] arynwyn: nice. okies. see you later on then!! <huggles>

[19:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Straightforward, to the point, I can appreciate that.
 Lore: <pouts and goes to seduce Ari to make himself feel studly>
[19:44] arynwyn: <snicker>
[19:45] arynwyn: Uhm... the next night? Or d'you want to skip ahead to after her parents give permission?
[19:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Umm, let's do next night first.
[19:45] arynwyn: Mkay.
[19:47] arynwyn: Char: <has just dozed off. a small book has fallen to the floor and lays open. inside is her small, loopy cursive (but there are no dates, so it's not a journal) and a quill and bottle of ink are on her nightstand, as well as a bottle of wine on ice. she's wearing a nightgown, slinky, but not terribly scandalous>
[19:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: ((since, technically when he's sneaking around in all black, he is...The Nick! dun dun dun!)) <slides in through her window and looks back out of it, making double extra sure no one saw him. He looks at the book, and curiosity wells up within him...but first things first.  He sits on the edge of the bed carefully, puts his hands on either side of her and leans down to kiss her>
[19:50] arynwyn: Char: <smiles a little and opens her eyes slowly, sitting up to wrap her arms around him and kiss him deeply> I missed you. 
[19:50] arynwyn: (( <giggle> S'ok. 'Cause The Nick is hot. ))
[19:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers>  Jaes: Wait, so is "The Nick" hotter than I am? >.>))
[19:51] arynwyn: (( Uhm. You are one and the same! That's why I love you: You are a mystery man by night and a suave noble by day! ))
[19:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <grins> Always wanted to kiss a woman awake...like in the old stories.  How was your day, pretty lady?
[19:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: Oh okay.  ^_^ ))
[19:52] arynwyn: Char: <shrugs> It was okay. Long. I counted the hours until I could come to bed to wait for you. <smiles and nuzzles his neck> What about you?
[19:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: The same as usual: wasting time in the frivolous pursuits of bored nobility with too much money, waiting until the sun goes down so I can do what I really want. <kisses her cheek>
[19:54] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles> And when we are properly together? What will you do with your day then?
[19:54] arynwyn: Char: ...and your nights?
[19:56] arynwyn: (( Was Jaes the blonde at the party that Mya pointed out to Ath? ))
[19:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Whatever you want.  For both day and night.  I haven't inherited yet, so I've very few "duties".
[19:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, that was just some random guy.))
[19:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so many damn blonde blood elves))
[19:57] arynwyn: Char: Mmh... You're not going to continue sneaking into women's rooms at night? I'm not going to have to worry about you meeting someone else?...
[19:57] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[19:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <laughs> I didn't deliberately try to sneak into women's rooms...but I promise.  I'll only sneak in here.
[19:58] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and kisses his neck once> Thank you. <looks up into his eyes> How long are you staying tonight? I snuck up a bottle of wine.

[20:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Dark Country is supposed to be about the villain in "American Gothic"; I never saw that show.  But it's still a nice dark awesome bad guy song))

[20:11] arynwyn: (( okies. it's just the lust potion? and sets in slowly? ))
[20:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((basically yeah; it's a bottle of alcohol laced with lust potion (re-named "Inhibitor Relaxant" for what it really is).  It does set in slowly, like alcohol would, but it is still alcohol, which already relaxes peoples inhibitions. >.> So it basically ends up being much stronger than the normal lust potion; the potion portion still wears off after an hour; the rest depends on the metabolism of the drinker.))
[20:13] arynwyn: (( okies. <giggle> ))
[20:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <fills the other glass, settles the wine back in the ice, and joins her on the bed, clinking his glass against hers before drinking> Hmm.  Not bad.  Not destined to be one of the great vintages of the age, but nice, sweet.  Good after-dinner wine.
[20:16] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> A wine connaissuer, hm? It is pretty good. Nothing like the champagne from last night though. That was excellent.
[20:17] arynwyn: (( Damn. I spelled it wrong and it's a French word. >.> *connoisseur ))
[20:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <nods> Father expects it of me.  One of our properties is a vinyard.  It's staffed by families who have worked those fields for generations; if you can't speak the jargon to them, they won't respect you.

[20:36] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and drains her glass> Sure. <she looks over to make sure the window is open, the wine making her body heat up. she pushes her hair back and holds it up off of her neck, wondering if she has a hair tie somewhere>
[20:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <takes her glass over and refills it, but when he walks over, he stands there> Now, unfortunately for you, refills aren't free.<grinning, letting his eyes wander over her>

[20:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay.  men do that sometimes))
[20:47] arynwyn: Char: <grins and leans in close to kiss him deeply, a hand resting on his thigh> Far too reasonable, I think. 
[20:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Oh?  What do you think I should charge? <offering her glass back to her>
[20:49] arynwyn: Char: <takes the glass and drinks deeply from it, eyeing him over> Mmh, I'm not allowed to say... I'm a lady, remember? <grin>
[20:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Curses! <chuckles and drinks the rest of what's in his glass> ...so if you can't say, you probably aren't allowed to demonstrate either? <laughs quietly again and kisses her ear...and just behind her ear...and the bit of her neck just below her ear...>
[20:52] arynwyn: Char: <feels the breath leave her lungs and she closes her eyes tightly> I... didn't say that... <she leans in closer, her hand sliding up his leg>
[20:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <leans over her to set his wineglass on the table and just naturally drops his arm over her waist as he straightens up, pulling her over to him so he can kiss her softly...at first.  The kiss grows stronger and deeper rapidly>
[20:57] arynwyn: Char: <slides her hands around his neck and into the back of his hair, kissing back with equal passion. she slips a leg in between his knees and moves closer, pressing against him>
[20:58] arynwyn: (( Bleh, she's supposedly still holding her glass... ))
[20:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she can have one hand in his hair and the other looped around his neck holding the glass))

[21:00] arynwyn: (( Thing is, she doesn't want to pull away to set it down... and it's still half full. >.< ))
[21:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I sense impending wine stains...))
[21:00] arynwyn: (( <snicker> Yeah. ))
[21:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <runs a hand down along her spine, below the small of her back ((what can I say? he's apparently an ass man)).  He moves his lips down to her neck, swapping kisses out for the occasional lick; he barely remembers to try and keep from leaving marks.  There's a dim voice that protests this entirely improper behavior; he reminds it he's not a nobleman at the moment and continues bestowing wine-soaked kisses on her skin>
[21:07] arynwyn: Char: <whimpers softly, lightheaded from the wine and the new sensations he's envoking in her. she struggles to continue breathing, her free hand sliding around to fumble with his shirt. finding unbuttoning his shirt impossible with one hand, she pulls away from him long enough to set her wine glass down, then returns to his arms, working on his shirt, forcing herself to remain calm enough not to rip it off of him>
[21:09] arynwyn: *evoking
[21:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <drops his hand below the hem of her nightgown and then slips it up under the fabric.  He lets his palm rise slowly, stopping occasionally when he feels he needs to pull her in closer or adjust the way he's holding her.  His other hand pushes the nightgown (strap/sleeve/whatever) off one of her shoulders so he can kiss more skin.>
[21:14] arynwyn: Char: <gasps softly and begins to tremble ever so lightly. she finishes unbuttoning his shirt and pulls it back, exposing his chest. she moves in closer, pressing herself against his skin, her eyes closed. one hand wanders down his stomach to work on the fastenings of his pants and the other goes back to toy in his hair>
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((this the sort of nightgown she has to be buttoned into or can it be pulled on?))
[21:17] arynwyn: (( It's just a slip on. ))
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((aww Murph licked my nose :3 ))
[21:18] arynwyn: (( awww!! ))
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <gets frustrated with all the cloth between them ((yeah, 'cause there's so much...  Nick: Hush, you)) and breaks away long enough to pull her nightgown up and over her head in one quick motion.  He frees himself from clinging sleeves of his own shirt, leans her back on the bed with gentle insistence and resumes kissing her lips, letting a hand roam over her freely exposed skin>
[21:25] arynwyn: Char: <lets him undress her and lay her back without protest, breathing hard. she kisses him fiercly and wraps her legs around his lower body as her hands wander down his back and sides, unable to get enough of the feel of his skin on hers>
[21:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this year, sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (United Nations network of scientists).))
[21:27] arynwyn: (( Nice! ))
[21:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <pauses in his amorous insistences long enough to catch his breath a little and smirk at her> Kind of a high price for a refill, hm? <he lets himself look along her body and licks his lips a little; one hand traces little circles, loops and swoops on her stomach, hip, thigh>
[21:30] arynwyn: Char: <grins> This was promised to you, in place of my jewelry, if I recall... <shivers lightly and catches her breath as well>
[21:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she still has her underwear on right?))
[21:33] arynwyn: (( Mhm. ))
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Wait what?  "Amid speculation about a presidential bid, friends say that Al Gore is likely to keep people guessing."  Um, no he's not.  he's said REPEATEDLY that he's NOT running.  How is that keeping people guessing?))
[21:34] arynwyn: (( <snerk> ))
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I wish he *would* run....but he's being pretty clear.  If he changes his mind, that'll be a (happy) surprise, but I'm not guessing.))
[21:34] arynwyn: (( Ditto. ))
[21:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I don't need to take things from you to want to spend time with you...<drops his lips to her neck; when he's not kissing her, he speaks against her skin, warm breath cooling her skin as it hits the trail of kisses he's leaving>...or to want to be with you...to want to do..terribly improper things to you...<as his hand goes to terribly improper place between her legs, though it stays on top of her panties>

[21:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <nuzzles her neck and starts moving his lips down her body as his hand presses against her.  His mind is sort of foggy with the scent and feel and taste of her, and the dim voice from before, which had fallen silent, renews its objections...slightly stronger.  He agrees to ponder these objections while he devotes himself to kissing her breasts and continuing to make her moan>
[21:43] Chaos Angel Sox: (("I'm Al Gore, I used to be the next president of the United States." <audience laughs> "I don't find that particularly funny." <he grins>))

[21:47] arynwyn: Char: <moans his name quietly, lost in the pleasures he's giving her. she arches her body again as she pulls him closer, down on top of her, and kisses him hard and deep. her breathing is ragged and she's still trembling>
[21:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <shifts uneasily, wanting out of his pants and into...that thought brings him to a...still panting...halt.  He pulls his lips away from her and stops moving, but doesn't otherwise move away> ...Charise...pretty, lovely, stunning woman...should we really keep doing this? <there's a raging argument between his libido and his...well everything else, basically>
[21:53] arynwyn: Char: <opens her eyes slowly and looks up at him> You... don't want to? <she feels suddenly embarrassed and vulnerable> 
[21:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I don't want you to regret it later.  <goes back to kissing and talking against her neck> I want to, I want you, please don't ever think otherwise.  I haven't stopped thinking about the possibility of...being physically intimate with you from the moment you first suggested it, honestly.  I just want to be sure it's actually what you want, that I'm not pressuring you...
[21:59] arynwyn: Char: <wraps her arms around his neck again> It is what I want. I wanted when you kissed me, for different reasons, and I want it now more than anything. I want to feel closer to you than... than I have or am now. I want... <shakes her head and bites her lip, unable to finish her thoughs; they are too painful, too deep, she doesn't know how to handle them> But if you want to wait, I will wait. Of course. <she strokes his neck with a finger>
[22:00] arynwyn: *wanted it when
[22:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: ...<ponders this and goes back and forth in his mind> you know...<slides his hand up her stomach and then down into her panties>...I can still make you...happy <grin>...without truly compromising you...<slowly resuming the same motion, and he kisses her lips again>
[22:06] arynwyn: Char: <squeezes her eyes shut and moans against his lips> But... what about you?... <she gasps and her body starts moving in rhythm against his hand> ...and your... happiness?...
[22:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <gasps in whispers against her ear> I'm happy making you happy.  <kiss> Don't worry about me. <increasing the pace>
[22:09] arynwyn: Char: <moans more, a quietly, throaty sound, and a few moments later she cries out softly, her body tensing up. her nails dig into the skin of his back as she clutches him, before she relaxes back into the bed, panting> ...gods...
[22:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <smiles softly and kisses her temple, slipping his hand away> ...you look pleased...and beautiful. <another kiss to her forehead>  ((cat on head))
[22:11] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[22:12] arynwyn: Char: <catches her breath and pulls him down to kiss him deeply> That was... amazing... But you... what about you?... Let me do something for you, in return.
[22:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <nuzzle snuggle> I'd say you already have, just by letting me know you enjoyed it...<Don't talk her out of it!! Oh, stop that. ...the arguing continues in his head>
[22:16] arynwyn: Char: <snuggles against him sleepily> Tomorrow night, then... I promise. We can alternate. <soft giggle and a yawn. she shivers a little as the alcohol wears off and she realizes how cool it is in the room>
[22:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <smiles and wraps her up in the blankets; he tries to find where he tossed his shirt, scooping it up and tugging it back on. He kisses her again briefly>
[22:19] arynwyn: Char: <watches him dress> Do you have to go already?... <she smiles a little sadly and kisses him back>
[22:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <standing to start buttoning his shirt> You seem to be fairly sleepy, pretty lady.
[22:20] arynwyn: Char: <sits up, pulling the blanket around her for warmth> I'm fine. I don't want you to go.
[22:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <he glances out at the night briefly, then sits back down on the bed, shirt still half buttoned> I have some time yet. Oh...<picks up her nightgown and offers it to her>
[22:24] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> Good. <she takes the nightgown and slips out of the blankets, standing and tugging it on over her head> If you want to stay, I mean... <she turns around and looks at him, biting her lower lip>
[22:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I'd never leave if it wouldn't cause you trouble. <smiles at her>  But I won't have anyone saying you're anything less than a perfect lady. <kiss>
[22:27] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him and chuckles> No one pays much attention to me here anyway. They're too busy with thier own significant others. And trust me, there's nothing honorable about what *they* do behind closed doors... <giggles softly>
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <laughs> Yes, sometimes what's going on is quite....audible...
 ((Kat: <blushes and points to Killian> His fault.))
 Nick: ...but other people's honor or dishonor usually has very little impact on yours.  MY dishonor might...especially once we're formally courting.
 
[22:33] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and kisses him gently> I can't wait. Have you written my parents yet? 
[22:33] arynwyn: (( Going to be in and out while I dress. We're going shopping and out for steak. 0)
[22:33] arynwyn: ))
[22:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Wooooo!!))
[22:33] arynwyn: (( Keep writing though. ^^ ))
[22:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I said I would, didn't I?  I actually wrote it as soon as you left last night, and it was sent out with the morning mail.
[22:38] arynwyn: Char: <grins and sits back down next to him> Excellent. <she lays back on the bed> Ugh, I don't think I can wait... <she sighs> 
[22:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I'll still be here every night....<grins and leans in to whisper>...and I'll be more than glad to have you moaning and panting every <kiss> single <kiss> night <kiss>.
[22:42] arynwyn: Char: <giggles and kisses him back> Mmm... and I hope to do the same for you. Do you want me to bring up wine every night? Maybe snitch a pastry from my sister too? <grins>
[22:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Do as you like.  You're the only reason I keep showing up.  You were always the only reason.  ...well, okay the first time I showed up, I was just looking to steal stuff and leave...but you know, there was this beautiful young woman sleeping in the soft moonlight....I got distracted.
[22:45] arynwyn: Char: <blushes lightly> Why do you steal things? You have everything you could ever want. And who was that woman last night?... 
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <grins at her first question and groans at the second> I steal things because, frankly, I'm bored and it's exciting.  I give the stuff back, mailing it or delivering it anonymously, saying it was recovered.  I just like the thrill of getting in and out of somewhere I'm not supposed to be...doing things I'm not supposed to be doing.
 As for Tylica, she is one of the many predatorial women that circle me because I'm rich, titled and unmarried.  She is also the most persistent.
[22:49] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles at the first part> Danger is exciting... it was why I was so attracted to you in the first place. <and annoyance flashes in her eyes at the mention of the woman> And she will leave you alone now, or, after we are officially courting, right? She's not going to try and ruin things between us? 
[22:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <shrugs> I really don't know.  Judging by the other night, I think so.  She'll sulk and pout and probably continue to circle and hope to pounce once you're out of the picture, but I doubt she'd actually *do* anything.  And if she does, well, it's just the excuse I need to stop inviting her to my parties.  ...the obligations of society, you understand.
[22:53] arynwyn: Char: <nods and fights the urge to ask (and fails)> ...once I'm out of the picture? <looks a little sulky> And when will that be?...
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <flinches> Bad phrasing, pretty lady, that's all.  I promise.  I don't want you out of the picture. <brushes her cheek>
[22:56] arynwyn: Char: <smiles a little and nods, leaning in to kiss him softly> I don't want you out of the picture... ever... That day will be the death of me. <nuzzles his neck>
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I don't want that.  <kisses her deeply, lingeringly>
[22:58] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him back softly and a stray tear runs down her cheek. she pulls back to wipe it away> ...I'm sorry... <sniffs>
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <frowns> Sorry?  Sorry for what?  Why are you crying? <helps her wipe tears away>
[23:00] arynwyn: Char: <shakes her head> I'm sorry for crying. And... I don't really know why I'm crying. <gives a weak laugh> It's not a bad cry, though. I just love the way you make me feel. <smiles over at him, her eyes shining> Stupid, I know. 
[23:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Well if that's stupid, it's the kind of stupid that gets rewarded. <kissing her again, holding her close to him>
[23:02] arynwyn: Char: <snuggles into his arms and returns the kiss. she tries to stifle a yawn> 
[23:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: You're not stupid.  And don't apologize for being happy with me.  I'm going to try to keep you that way; maybe once you get used to it, you'll stop crying.
[23:05] arynwyn: Char: <nods> I don't remember the last time I felt accepted and <...can't say loved, don't think he loves me...> ...and cared for. It's a wonderful feeling. Thank you. 
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: You're welcome.  <he looks out the window> You should try and get some sleep, pretty lady.  If I keep us both up all night, we'll be sleeping all day.
[23:07] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> At least the hours would pass faster until I can see you again. <she leans up and kisses him again, then releases him> Please be safe. 
[23:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I will be, I promise.  I look forward to tomorrow night...<standing> and to the day I can have you on my arm through the city...shopping for slinky nightclothes. <chortles and half climbs through the window> Sleep well.  Dream of me. <wink>
[23:10] arynwyn: Char: <grins> Always. You too. <she stands and walks over to the window to shut it after he leaves, then crosses back over to the bed and climbing in, exhausted>

[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <grin> Great!  And you have influence with my pretty lady, right?
[23:14] arynwyn: <laugh> Oh yes. Keep me happy and she will keep you happy. <wink>
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Excellent.  So what do I have to do to ensure a steady supply of slinky, sexy nightclothes?
[23:15] arynwyn: <grin> Hm... Keep showing up as a thief, methinks. Easy enough, hm?
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Oh, right, I can do that.
[23:16] arynwyn: Sweeeet.
[23:16] arynwyn: :-D
[23:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: If we get married, it'll be a little bit harder....but I'll think of something...
[23:17] arynwyn: Oh, thinking of marriage, hm? <grin> Charise'll love that...
[23:17] arynwyn: And there's always kinky roleplaying... <giggle>
[23:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <grins> yes, but it loses something when I just walk in through a door in my stealth outfit rather than coming in through a window.
[23:18] arynwyn: Hm, fair enough... Well, she could keep her room at the guild house, just for nights when you two want to play... 
[23:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <ponder> I'm thinking more of an old-fashioned type of marriage, where the wife has her own room...and a nice big, easy to get in-and-out-of window in it too...also, no rugs right near the blasted window. I swear that rug has it out for me....
[23:20] arynwyn: <laugh> But it's cute when you trip! Well, except for when you hit your head that one time... But the seperate room thing could work. Except Charise'll sneak into your room every night to sleep with you...
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Oh really? Darn. That just ruins my whole night.. <said with deadpan sarcasm>
[23:21] arynwyn: <grin> I'm sure. I suppose you could always put a lock on her door...
[23:22] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm pondering having Jaes's letter to her parents asking for her hand in marriage rather than just permission to court her.  So he'll get permission, and she'll get a letter of congratulations and when she asks him about it, he can be all "Oh, did I write for permission for 'your daughter's hand in marriage' instead of 'to court your daughter properly'? Drat.  Guess we'll have to get married now.  No way around it..."
[23:23] arynwyn: OMG! Char would FREAK! In a good way, of course. That's such a good idea!
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Right, done and done.
[23:23] arynwyn: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
[23:23] arynwyn: Now I want to RP that damn it!
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: when's steak time?
[23:24] arynwyn: Very soon. Expecting Tim any minute. >.<
[23:24] arynwyn: What's your schedule for tomorrow?
[23:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooooo.  Grocery shopping or stuff shopping? ^_^ 
 
 Working my usual shift tomorrow.11-6:30ish
[23:24] Chaos Angel Sox: (your time)
[23:24] arynwyn: okies.
[23:25] arynwyn: That sucks, since Tim is going snorkling tomorrow and I'll be sitting her on my ass...
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: plot zee eeeeeevil....
[23:25] arynwyn: Both shopping. Getting some Halloween stuff I hope. :-D
[23:25] arynwyn: Haha, I will try.
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay! 
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: I started getting candy; we're living in a place where we might actually have trick or treaters this year
[23:26] arynwyn: I need to get some. We live in a housing complex so there will for sure be some kids. Er, a lot. I'm thinking of getting a costume too... <giggle>
[23:26] arynwyn: <3 Halloween
[23:26] Chaos Angel Sox: :D My second favorite holiday
[23:26] arynwyn: First being?
[23:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Talk like a Pirate Day!
[23:26] arynwyn: TLAPD? <giggle>
[23:26] arynwyn: :SD
[23:26] arynwyn: :-D
[23:27] arynwyn: Wooo!
[23:27] Chaos Angel Sox: the Official song.
[23:27] arynwyn: Sweeeeet.
[23:27] arynwyn: So, evil... evil evil evil...
[23:28] arynwyn: Are you going to have this other woman be a problem?
[23:28] *** arynwyn has received 12 Talk Like a Pirate Day.mp3.
[23:28] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> Especially if you think up stuff for the uber-complicated plotline, 'cause we've already done most of what I thought up...
 
 Nah.  She'll just give dark looks and be snarky if Charise talks to her.  She's not going to actively interfere.
[23:28] arynwyn: Aww...
[23:28] arynwyn: okies.
[23:29] arynwyn: Tim's home. Gotta run!
[23:29] arynwyn: <huggles>

[05:02] Chaos Angel Sox: good steak? :3
[05:03] arynwyn: Oh yes! Good sleep?
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah.  I feel sheepish though; my alarm was set for 3 (the first time you came back) but I kept hitting snooze >.>
 
 baa.
[05:04] arynwyn: <laugh>
[05:05] arynwyn: No worries. 
[05:05] arynwyn: Oh, I wanna run a couple of things by you...
[05:05] Chaos Angel Sox: sho sho :)
[05:05] arynwyn: Er, guess there's just one...
[05:05] Chaos Angel Sox: sho
[05:06] arynwyn: Well, I was thinking of having Ari's business pick up enough that she rents a shop across the Bazaar... I'm wondering how Lore'll react with Ari gone all day and coming back wiped at night. 
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: My immediate answer to that is: <cough clear throat>
 
 Lore: <pout pout pout pout pout>
[05:07] arynwyn: <laugh>
[05:07] arynwyn: So bad idea then?
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course not!
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: One of my friends wants to be a professional writer.  He went to a high end writing workshop and they said the same thing to him there: You need Authorial Sadism.
[05:08] arynwyn: <LOL>
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: "No one would care about Bruce Willis in Die Hard if he just waltzed through the whole movie without a scratch. If your characters are going to be dealing with Big Stuff, are going to be compelling and carry an action story, you need to beat the &$@^ out of them here and there, make it seem almost impossible."
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: cereeeeeallllls....
[05:09] arynwyn: Hehe, okies.
[05:12] Chaos Angel Sox: okay back
[05:12] arynwyn: okies. I gotta get Tim a glass of drink, brb,.
[05:12] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[05:13] arynwyn: mkay
[05:14] arynwyn: so, you wanna do Char & Jaes? <giggle> Or Ari & Lore? Or who?
[05:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: You wanna do me.  <grin wink> You know you do.
 Me: <rolls her eyes> You and your jealousy issues, Lore...whoever you want to start with is fine, Sar.
 Lore: <sighs> I'm losing my touch.
[05:16] arynwyn: <snerk> Let's do Ari and Lore. I wanna torture him,.
[05:16] arynwyn: I'll start. I have a good beginning.
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Joy! She wants to torture me! ...wait.
[05:18] arynwyn: Ari: <bounces into Lore's shop midmorning after having disappeared for over an hour. she's smiling happily and carrying a roll of parchment> Lore! Guess what? <steps behind the counter with him>
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Hm? <smiles back at her and kisses her as she comes within smooching range>
[05:21] arynwyn: Ari: <holds out the parchment for him, grinning> I just rented a shop across the bazaar! It's not exactly perfect for pastries yet, just some shelving and such. But it's mine now! I finally managed to save up enough, what with slipping money into your till each day for rent, and buying ingredients... <she kisses him happily>
[05:22] arynwyn: (( Oh, Charise and Ari worked out a deal... Charise will skill monetary wages in return for a pastry a day. <giggle> Ari is suspicious, but she's not asking questions yet. ))
[05:24] arynwyn: (( Wait, what? Charise will skill monetary wages... huh? She'll SKIP monetary wages. >.> ))
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Congratulations! <picks her up and spins her about as much as the space allotted them at present allows.  He sets her down and smiles> Maybe we should take some blankets and a basket of food and wine over there and celebrate your own shop? <grins>
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I was trying to figure that out ^_^ ))
[05:24] arynwyn: (( Sorry =P ))
[05:25] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles> It's dirty. You'll have to wait for me to clean it up. I'll be going over first thing in the morning to work on it. But after that, sure, we can picnic over there. <grin>
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ith appens. <huggles>))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <smiles and leans in to whisper some other uses for the blankets while they're over there, kissing her ear for punctuation>
[05:29] arynwyn: (( Sorry, give me a minute. Tim's showing me something. ))
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay))
[05:35] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles softly> Mmh, sure! <goes back to talking about her shop, hopping up on the counter to sit> But this way I can make twenty cakes a day to sell! This is going to be so much fun!
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <whistles> 20 hm?  Lot of work...but I'm glad you made it. <pats her knee and lets his hand rest on her thigh>  And I'm glad it makes you so happy.
[05:38] arynwyn: Ari: <grins> I couldn't have done it without you, Lore. Thank you. <she leans in to kiss him again gently>
[05:39] arynwyn: (( FF then? Maybe to the next night? Or even the night after that? I dunno, this is going to be a lot of skipping around.. ))
[05:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <beam> The smile's thanks enough, lovely.
 
 ((<nods> FF to....whenever it will be interesting.))
[05:40] arynwyn: (( >.> Maybe none of it's interesting. ))
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lies!))
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm just saying don't put a date on it.  Just have Ari come in exhausted or running in and out or whatever. ^_^ ))
[05:42] arynwyn: (( Okies. ))
[05:44] arynwyn: Ari: <steps into the commonroom late the next night, dirty and exhausted. she collapses into a chair and tugs off her boots, tossing them aside and leaning back, sighing>
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: <"Ari's" puppy paws at her>
 Lore: <comes downstairs to see who's prowling about and smiles when he sees Ari> Just getting back? <kisses (not kiises like I originally typed) a clean spot on her face> You want anything?
[05:47] arynwyn: Ari: <picks up her puppy> Still need to name you, don't I, little guy? <she smiles up at Lore> Yeah. Long day. *Very* long day... <she glances toward the kitchen> I'll make myself some dinner here in a minute. Or maybe I'll just pass out. <chuckle>
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'll make you some food real quick.  And then you can pass out. <heads over to start in on food>  ...place in that bad a shape?
[05:50] arynwyn: Ari: <starts to argue, but decides against it> It was *really* dirty. A lot of the shelves had to be fixed and I'm not really all that handy, so it took me forever. And then I had to bake the cakes for tomorrow. That took a good eight hours... <she snuggles her pup and yawns, closing her eyes as she leans back> But tomorrow I open...
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I swear you're going to put me out of business.  I think everyone was coming here for your pastries. <cooking quickly; he gets her some juice to drink, setting the glass on the table in front of her>
 <puppy squirms to get down, and starts chomping on Ari's arm>
[05:52] arynwyn: Ari: <lets the pup go, mumbling her thanks to Lore, but she's half asleep, and it's unlikely she'll wake to eat>
[05:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs, pulls the food off the heat, then picks Ari up gently.  He carries her upstairs, and considers putting her in his bed, but decides she'll sleep better alone and tucks her into her own bed with a quick kiss on the cheek>
[05:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((spazzcat))
[05:54] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:54] arynwyn: Ari: <stirs enough to snuggle into the blanket, but other than that she's ZzzZzzZzz>
[05:55] arynwyn: (( kk, uhm... let's just say the next morning she leaves before Lore gets up. ))
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods>Hokee))
[05:56] arynwyn: Ari: <comes in late again the next night, much the same way as the night before, but not quite as tired. she steps into the kitchen to fix herself a sandwich and a glass of milk>
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sneaks up behind her, sliding his arms around her waist and kissing her neck> Hey, sexy.  How was your first day?
[05:58] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and turns to kiss him gently> It was insane! I made sixteen cakes yesterday, then four more this morning and they were sold out by noon so I had to make another ten. And then I made another ten after closing. I didn't realize cakes were so in demand! <nuzzles his neck> How was your day?
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry, I'm aggravating the crazed catbeast...))
 Lore: Good....but I missed you. <lingering kiss>
[06:00] arynwyn: (( No worries. ^^ ))
[06:01] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back> Mm, I missed you too. <she turns back to her sandwich, taking it over to the table to sit> I need to remember to take lunch tomorrow... I had cake today. <giggle>
[06:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <laughs> Send Chari over and I'll make some lunch for the two of you.
[06:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: It won't be as good as your food, but...
[06:03] arynwyn: Ari: Ooooh, okay! That'd be great. <she devours her sandwich hungrily> I'll pay you. <giggle> You'll be like an emplyee.
[06:03] arynwyn: *employee
[06:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Silly girl. <kiss> You are my girlfriend...or fiancee, depending on who you ask...you don't have to pay me!  Save your money - and no more slipping any into my till either. Or...or else! <tries to be stern and disapproving>
[06:06] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> Or else what? You'll stop doing those things I love? <raises an eyebrow> 'Cause I think you like them as much as I do... <wicked grin> 
[06:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Hrm...you have a point...damnit. 'scuse my language.  Should think these things out more...<grins at her; he rubs her shoulders as she sits in the chair>
[06:09] arynwyn: Ari: <closes her eyes and leans her head back against him> Wow, that feels good... <she yawns> Mm, but you're gunna put me to sleep...
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Heh. Night after my first day, I parted with a good amount of coin to have a woman just rub my back and shoulders until I passed out.  It was heaven. <kisses her neck>
[06:11] arynwyn: Ari: <sulks> Heaven? You haven't said anything I've done was heaven... <stands and takes her dishes to the sink> 
[06:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs and crosses to her>....Heaven isn't complimentary enough for what you do to me, but if you want me to say so...<shrugs dramatically> I mean, it's like saying your food is...okay instead of what it really is, which is fantastic...
[06:14] arynwyn: Ari: <grins and turns to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply> Mmm, good answer. <she nuzzles his neck and yawns> I'd love to do some things for you now, but I've got to get up before dawn again... 
[06:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods> It's okay.  I'll just have to go back to dreaming about you...<grin snuggle> Go on, before I have to carry you upstairs again...
[06:17] arynwyn: Ari: <winces> Sorry about that. I was exhausted yesterday. <shakes her head and leans up for a final kiss> G'night. 
[06:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Sleep well.<lets her pull away despite his reluctance to let her go>
[06:19] arynwyn: Ari: <disappears up the stairs and into her room, shutting her door quietly>
[06:19] arynwyn: (( Methinks Ari's not going to come home the next night... <giggle> ))
[06:20] arynwyn: Ari: <finishes making her last cake and sits down on the floor to rest, and before long, she falls asleep despite the floor being uncomfortable>
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <pace pace pace.  It gets late.  Finally, he goes over to Ari's shop and taps on the door> Arianna?
[06:21] arynwyn: Ari: <ZzzZzzZzz... the door is unlocked>
[06:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <Tries the door and pushes it open, looking around.  He smiles at the work she's done, then stops when he sees her passed out on the floor.  He sighs and brushes hair out of her face gently> ...you'll get used to it eventually. <think: Right?>
[06:25] arynwyn: Ari: <stirs a little, opening her eyes. they go wide when she sees she's not alone and she lets out a little cry, pulling away from him. she blinks a few times, then sighs when she realizes it's Lore> Gods... You scared the Light outta me. <she rubs her neck> Wow, ouch... Sleeping there was *not* a good idea. 
[06:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.  Come home and let me introduce you to this marvelous new invention we have called "bed". <he grins, stands and offers her his hand>
[06:30] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckles and takes his hand, pulling herself up> Yeah, bed... <she yawns and tries to take a step, but stumbles into him instead> Ugh... Is it almost the weekend? Am I allowed to take a sick day yet?...
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <catches her and holds her close> Ah, the turmoils of being popular.  See, you're too good for your own good. <kisses her softly> C'mon, I'll get you across the Bazaar.  Let's get this place locked up and get you tucked in. 
[06:34] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and steps over to the door, slightly more steady, and pushes it open. she waits for him to step out and then locks it> I need to get you a key. <she slips a hand in his and starts off>
[06:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <squeezes her hand> Think carefully on that 'cause otherwise I'm just going to sneak in all the time and stealth smooch you when you're not looking.  
[06:36] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckle> I wouldn't mind, really. I keep busy, but it's lonely. My sister works the till most of the time, but she's never really... there. I think she's seeing someone and she's constantly thinking about him.
[06:36] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I just hit my toe and ripped back part of my toenail. =(  ))
[06:36] arynwyn: (( * =(  )0
[06:36] arynwyn: ))
[06:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O <huggles and hershey kisses>))
[06:37] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: She's seeing someone?  But she almost never leaves the building, unless she's over here....maybe she just has an active fantasy life?  <think: I know mine's picked up lately...<mental sigh>>  I'll pop over when I can.  I don't have all these beautiful women running my shop for me anymore. <grin>
[06:41] arynwyn: Ari: She's taking her payment in a cake a day. And she hasn't really gained any weight, so *someone* must be helping her eat it... <shrugs> I'm not sure. And you can come over whenever you want. <they arrive at the shop and she unlocks the door, stepping inside> ...bed...
[06:41] arynwyn: (( <snerk> How long can Lore go without sex? ))
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore: <big puppy eyes and pouty lips>   Me: Longer than he believes he can, honestly.))
 
 Lore: <locks the door behind her> Can I ask a favor, Ari?
[06:43] arynwyn: Ari: <turns to look at him> Sure, Lore. What is it? 
[06:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <crosses to her> Sleep in my bed tonight?  Just so I can have you next to me for awhile? <does his best to look and sound manly and not pouty>
[06:44] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and nods> I'd love to. <leans up to kiss him gently, then heads into the common room>
[06:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <follows> Thank you.  I promise I'll let you sleep and not keep you up all night...you know...in heavy-breathing ecstasy...<think: 'course if you change your mind and decide you *want* that...>
[06:48] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckles> I'd love that, but I have to get up early again. <sighs a little; This is what I want, remember? A shop of my own, baking every day... Right? This is what I want? Well, no... What I want is for him to propose. Then I could just be a wife and mother like I want... No, don't think of that. Stop it.>
[06:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <innocent look> I was just saying I'd let you sleep as much as you wanted. <mental sigh; he kisses her cheek> It'll just be nice to have you next to me, honestly.
[06:52] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and heads up the stairs silently. she slips into his room and starts to pull off her clothes, yawning and trying to get her neck to stop hurting>
[06:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <follows her up and watches her undress wistfully; he starts pulling off his own clothes as well and tries not to wish he was undressing her and vice versa>
[06:54] arynwyn: Ari: <slips on a nightgown and climbs into bed, pulling her hair away from her face and laying down. she smiles over at him as he undresses, waiting to snuggle, fighting sleep>
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <slides in under the covers, and pulls her into his arms, stroking her hair and kissing her forehead> Another big day tomorrow, hm?
[06:56] arynwyn: (( Are you having fun with this? ))
[06:57] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs a little and nods> Yeah. Another one. <she nuzzles his neck and closes her eyes>
[06:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> Yes, because Lore isn't.  I'm still just a little tired for some reason.  <whaps her circadian rhythms>))
[06:58] arynwyn: (( Okies. I'm tired too. Think I'm going to go to bed soon... ))
[06:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it doesn't help we're talking about sleep all the time, methinks ^_^;;))
[06:59] arynwyn: (( Hehe, true enough. ))
[07:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (( and even if I'm not on before work again, I'll be on afterwards.))
[07:00] arynwyn: (( mkay. well, I think I'll go ahead and go. I'm tired and depressed, so my RP is sucking. sorry. ))
[07:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((RP is not sucking!!! <huggles> why are you depressed? just hormones? :( ))
[07:01] arynwyn: (( possibly. I'm tired and I don't feel well and Tim and I are arguing... <sigh> ))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwww, I'm sorry. <hugses>  go sleep.  we'll come back to this when we're both more awake. ^_^ ))
[07:02] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Okay. Have a good day at work. Dunno if I'll be up before you leave. ))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll see you when I catch you on again.  is cool. ))

[13:21] Chaos Angel Sox: of course :) I do have 3 hours to kill...if I can type >.>
[13:21] arynwyn: sweet.
[13:21] arynwyn: Well, at the rate Ari's going, she's going to collapse soon, so... We can either do that or do the fun Char & Jaes thing.
[13:22] Chaos Angel Sox: I just got up so I'm still pretty tired; let's talk about sleep as little as possible.
[13:22] arynwyn: <laugh> kk
[13:23] arynwyn: Uhm... starting with a night again? so I should post Chari?
[13:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah. :)
[13:24] arynwyn: Char: <sits on her bed, writing in her little book by candlelight. she's concentrating hard, very focused on what she's doing, and she doesn't look up immediately. there's also a folded piece of parchment beside her on the bed> 
 
 (( I'm assuming we're doing the letter thing? ))
[13:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I assumed the same...blargh still can't type ^_^))
[13:25] arynwyn: (( Mkay ))
[13:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <is half in and half out of the window grinning at her>...are you a novelist, pretty lady?...<he tries to climb into her room gracefully and only stumbles a little>
[13:28] arynwyn: Char: <goes scarlet and snaps the book shut> ...novelist?... Hardly... <stuffs it in her nightstand drawer> It's just something I do when I have free time... <sets the ink and quill on top of her bedside table and smiles over at him>
[13:29] arynwyn: (( wait ))
[13:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ok, waiting))
[13:29] arynwyn: (( lemme repost and add something ))
[13:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[13:29] arynwyn: Char: <goes scarlet and snaps the book shut> ...novelist?... Hardly... <stuffs it in her nightstand drawer> Being a novelist would require talent. This is just something I do when I have free time... <sets the ink and quill on top of her bedside table and smiles over at him>
[13:29] arynwyn: (( hehe, kay, thanks. >.> ))
[13:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <mental note: snitch the book at some point; he crosses the room to her, reaching down to pull her up into his arms, kissing her deeply>...and how was your day? <he asks, lips still hovering near her own>
[13:33] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him back and fights a grin> Well enough. I've been helping my sister with her new shop across the Bazaar. She does a crazy business. And she's been keeping crazy hours... I'm kind of worried about her. <she pats the bed next to her> How about you? Anything interesting happy in the life of the rich, noble bachelor? 
[13:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <flares his cape out behind him as he sits beside her>  I hope all goes well for your sister.  As for me, well...<grin>...I got a letter today.
[13:37] arynwyn: Char: <raises an eyebrow> Oh? From who? <fights the urge to grin and throw her arms around him and tackle him to the ground>
[13:37] arynwyn: (( Bleh, at this rate, I'm going to end up with a blood nose soon. >.> ))
[13:37] arynwyn: (( *bloody ))
[13:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O))
[13:37] arynwyn: (( Yeah... ))
[13:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<tissues> what happened?))
[13:38] arynwyn: (( Dunno really. I've been taking my allergy meds. It just seems like the air is extra dry for some reason. So when I blow my nose it gets all bloody and methinks soon it will be *really* bloody and just be a bloody nose. ))
[13:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Your parents have given me the permission I sought. <he caresses her cheek with his soft leather gloves before leaning in to kiss her again>
[13:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O you needs you a humidifier))
[13:40] arynwyn: Char: <grins and kisses him back> You know, I got a letter today too... <she holds up the folded piece of parchment and hands it to him>
[13:40] arynwyn: (( eh, not going to be here long enough for that. <shrug> we're switching into "move" mode now. ))
[13:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh right.  when's the move again?))
 Nick: Did you now? <trying to keep from smirking; he takes the parchment but doesn't open it> What did yours say?
[13:42] arynwyn: (( Uhm, end of Nov. But we're going out of town for two weeks in Nov. ))
[13:43] arynwyn: Char: <tries to act casual> It was a letter of congratulations, from my parents. Would you know why they are congratulating me? <can't help but grin>
[13:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oops.  And you're going to MN or ND? or somewhere else? My brain no remember))
[13:44] arynwyn: (( In Nov we're going to MN. When I move, I'm going to ND. ))
[13:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay so that confuses me: you're moving away from Tim?))
 Nick: <mustn't...smirk...must keep...straight face...; he's losing that battle quickly> I would assume your parents are happy you've found someone to pay you societally proper attention.
[13:46] arynwyn: (( He's going to Iraq. I'll be moving in with my parents while he's gone. ))
[13:47] arynwyn: Char: <raises an eyebrow> Something like that. Go ahead, read it. <still grinning>
[13:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh okay, you're just moving while he's gone.  I was going to say, I didn't think things had gotten that bad. >.>))
 
 Nick: If you insist, pretty lady...<he flips the letter open, kissing her cheek quickly before turning his attention to the inked words>
[13:48] arynwyn: (( Yeah. I need the emotional support while he's gone. ))
[13:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwww <huggleses>))
[13:49] arynwyn: <the letter says something along the lines of "Congratulations on your impending engagement. We're proud of you for finally finding someone.">
[13:49] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Yeah, staying out here by myself for a year and a half would NOT be good. ))
[13:50] arynwyn: Char: Now, why would my parents have the idea that we are, or are getting, engaged?
[13:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> esp since you seem to be scared alone at night :( ))
 
 Nick: Oh indeed, where would they get such an idea....? <pretends to think and then says> Oh, you know, I guess when I wrote them for permission to court you, I actually wrote for permission to marry you.  "Marry", "Court"...they're such similar sounding words...<his grin breaks through onto his face as he does this little comedy routine>
[13:53] arynwyn: Char: <grins broadly and tackle-hugs him hard> You. Are. Amazing. <she leans up to kiss him intensely>
[13:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <holds her tight against him, returning her passion>...that reminds me...<pulls a small black box out of...apparently nowhere, and offers it to her> I thought I'd bring jewelry to you rather than take it with me.  You know, change of pace and all that...
[13:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((crap; I should shower soon before the boys descend upon the apartment.  I forgot about that... >.>))
[13:57] arynwyn: Char: <takes the box, blushing and smiling> For me?... <she opens it slowly and looks inside>
 
 (( oopsie, okay. do what you need to do ))
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah forgot Joe was bringing friends around...))
 
 Nick: <it's a diamond solitaire, not ostentatious, but far more than a mere chip either; he kisses her neck as she looks at it> I hope you like it.  I suppose I should properly be offering it to you on bended knee, but...I thought this would be more fun.
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll be quick))
[13:59] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((have to be - they should be here soonish >.>))
[13:59] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[14:00] arynwyn: Chari: <blinks back tears as she pulls it from the box and slides it on her finger> It's beautiful. Gods, Jaes... <she leans in to kiss him again, a tear running down her cheek> 
[14:06] arynwyn: (( ooooooooooooooooo! Wrath of the Lich King is bringing in a new class, the Death Knight?! COOL. I wonder what races will be able to be it... I hope BEs. <hope hope hope hope hope> ))
[14:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((back))
[14:11] arynwyn: (( woo! that *was* quick! ))
[14:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((short hair helps))
[14:12] arynwyn: (( Ah, true. ))
[14:12] arynwyn: (( <offers some Silverton Sirloin> ))
[14:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <smiles as he pulls away> ...I'm hoping this isn't moving too fast for you?
[14:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oo. what's Silverton?))
[14:13] arynwyn: (( teriyaki (sp?) glazed ))
[14:13] arynwyn: Char: <grins and shakes her head> No. It's perfect. <she admires the ring> Is this a... secret engagement? Or am I allowed to tell?
[14:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooooooooooooooooooooo.  I have a weakness for teriyaki))
[14:15] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Me too. ))
[14:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Well, you can't say a thief gave it to you, but if I'm asking your parents for your hand in marriage, I wasn't trying to hide the engagement itself.  I'm sure society's already talking about it.
[14:17] arynwyn: Char: <grins and wonders briefly if she should wake the whole house and tell everyone... she decides no, she'd rather spend time alone with Jaes. she looks over at the bedside table where there is a bottle of wine on ice, as usual> Too bad I don't have any champagne. Oh well. <she stands and steps over to it, working on the cork a second before giving up and handing it to Jaes with a smile> You're better at it that me.
[14:17] arynwyn: *than
[14:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Wine's fine.  <he rises to his feet and accepts the bottle with a smile>  There'll be plenty of champagne at the de rigeur engagement party...this weekend too soon, by the way? I planned to stop by your sister's new store tomorrow to place my order....<Pop! he starts filling glasses>
[14:22] arynwyn: Char: <the mention of an engagement party sets her mind whirling> No, this weekend's fine... <she half-sits, half-collapses onto the bed, suddenly overwhelmed> 
[14:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <offers her a full glass of wine> Should I tell your sister while I'm ordering more lovely pastries or will you do the honors?
[14:24] arynwyn: Char: <accepts the glass with a thank you and takes a long drink> We could tell her together, when you come in. <she smiles over at him> If that's alright?
[14:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: That will be wonderful. <replaces the wine bottle with his own wine glass and joins her on the bed again> I can hardly wait. <drinks some wine and kisses her> How soon do you think we can get everything arranged?  I don't want to rush things; it looks bad.  At the same time, I tend towards impatience.
[14:29] arynwyn: Char: <grins> I do too. <she thinks a moment> I've never planned a wedding before, nor have I been any part of one... <takes another drink> How soon is too soon? 
[14:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Hm.  Anything less than a month is out of the question.  Even a month might draw some raised eyebrows. <sip, think, idly caressing her thigh>...two months then?  There might still be some clucking, but I think with some generously overdone displays of affection and a good publicity campaign, it should settle into envious adoration of our situation...<plan plot scheme>
[14:34] arynwyn: Char: <grins and sets her wine glass down, curling up on her knees next to him> Two months it is then. <she nuzzles his neck and sighs happily> My sister will do the cake, of course. And I'll need a list of those you want, and need, invited. Do you want to keep it small or are we going all out?
[14:34] arynwyn: (( They are so adorable!! ))
[14:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: What would you prefer? <smiling at her sidelong before drinking again>  I want this to be perfect for you.  
 
 ((they are. :3  is that another bottle of inhibition relaxant?))
[14:36] arynwyn: (( Uhm, You pick. ))
[14:36] arynwyn: Char: <thinks a moment> Well... I suppose I want something rather big. It's the one day when all eyes will be on me, so... <she blushes and leans back over for her glass, taking another long drink before setting it back down>
[14:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I doubt it's necessary <giggle>))
[14:37] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[14:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: ...and it's just that many more people to behold my good fortune.  Consider it so.  <his free hand starts sliding up her thigh as he drinks deeply>
[14:40] arynwyn: Char: <shivers a little and kisses his neck softly> I think you have it backwards... I am the lucky one. <she slides her hands up his chest and around his neck and scoots closer>
[14:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <leans them both towards the bedside table as he sets his wineglass down, then loops his arms around her> You know, I have no idea what to say to people about how we met...<nuzzling her neck just below her jawline and starting in on the soft kisses>
[14:44] arynwyn: Char: <her breath catches in her throat as he kisses her and she giggles softly> I don't either. Though, I suppose, Jaes and I met downstairs, in Lore's shop... <closes her eyes and presses herself against him>
[14:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Mm, good point.  <slides a hand back around to her thigh, pressing her back to the bed as his lips make their way down her throat>  I hope you can forgive how I treated you that first time...and for that matter how I treated you when I had you alone in the townhouse.  The first was more for my own amusement than anything else, and the second...well, we've already discussed that.
[14:50] arynwyn: Char: The first... confuses me. But I don't think much on it. <sighs softly as she lays back> And at the party, it was my fault anyway... <she pulls him down on her, pressing him against her> There is nothing to forgive, Jaes... mmm...
[14:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: ...not that I didn't enjoy groping you <he confesses> It was sort of the personal highlight of that plan.  <his hand rises slowly up her thigh and toys with the skin right where her underwear ends>  Any excuse I can get to touch you, you understand...
[14:57] arynwyn: Char: <gasps softly and giggles> I liked it too, honestly, but... as it were, I was pretending not to know you... But now you can touch me whenever, wherever you want. I am yours... <she leans up to kiss him deeply>
[15:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: You will be...once I've got you safely "locked up" in matrimony...<he grins at her to let her know he's joking>  And I'll be yours, pretty lady. <his hand slides up under the hem of her nightgown and makes a beeline for a favorite spot between her legs, just teasing lightly with one gloved finger>
[15:04] arynwyn: Char: <whimpers softly and closes her eyes again> I can't wait... <she arches her back a little, pressing up against him, her hands moving to unbutton his shirt. she runs a hand along the exposed skin and then leans up to kiss his chest and neck> 
[15:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: You don't want to wait for the wedding night, make it extra special? <he stops teasing her to rub directly but is looking at her curiously; his breathing's faster than normal>
[15:07] arynwyn: Char: <moans a little, in agony over the decision> I do, but... I don't. Gods, I don't want to wait... I want... <another whimper as he touches her> ...you to decide... 
[15:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <pulls his hand away to focus on the question> I've been generating these terribly romantic daydreams of our first night together as a married couple...but that doesn't mean I don't have other daydreams of more...lusty moments in these, as you called them, stolen hours.  <he tugs his glove off and returns his hand to her thigh> ...let's revisit the question in a little bit, hm? <sliding his hand into her panties rather than staying atop them, and bending to kiss her>
[15:17] arynwyn: Char: <nods and kisses him back, moaning against his lips. she moves her legs to give him more room, and she pushes his shirt back off his shoulders, trying to tug it off his body. she arches her body against his hand, and all thought ceases to exist. only the pleasure remains, the moment between the two of them, and she loses herself in it>
[15:17] arynwyn: (( okay, so... last night I had an idea and I was going to tell you but then I got all self-concious about it 'cause I was depressed. I'm going to go ahead and throw it out there now, though, but be honest on what you think of it. ))
[15:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okee ^_^ ))
[15:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <nuzzles her neck as he withdraws his hand, letting her catch her breath; he kisses her occasionally>
[15:20] arynwyn: (( Well, what if we threw someone supernatural in? What if one of the puppies dug up an elf bone in the lab and then the ghost of a woman shows up. she's not necessarily evil, but she does cause things to happen. She mostly just needs attention and help putting her spirit to ease. What do you think? >.> ))
[15:20] arynwyn: Char: <pants and strokes his hair> Mmm... You're so good at that. <blushes and grins>
[15:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((boys showed up, reading idea now))
[15:21] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[15:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I like it.  It's always good to have not easily dealt with mischief :3 ))
[15:22] arynwyn: (( Hehe, cool. Yay. ))
[15:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Thank you; I put a lot of effort into making you happy...especially the breathless type of happy....
[15:24] arynwyn: Char: <giggles softly> And what about you? Let me do something for you... <she pushes up into a sitting position and kisses him deeply, pressing him down on the bed. her hands slide down his body to the top of his pants, working at the fastenings>
[15:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: You don't have to, you know...<which is the only real resistance he's putting up> I don't want you to do anything you're not comfortable with just because you feel you have to reciprocate.
[15:28] arynwyn: Char: <grins and puts a finger to his lips. she kisses down his neck and chest as she tugs his pants and underwear down. she continues to kiss down his stomach and to... well, you get the idea. she's new at it, but she does a decent enough job>
[15:28] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ...job. heh. good word choice Sarah. ))
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs>))
[15:29] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[15:30] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. Used too many "down"s though. >.> ))
[15:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <almost sits up in shock, but quickly falls back to the bed, eyes dropping closed.  He starts to groan then bites his lip hard to keep silent.  He threads a hand into her hair and finally pushes her away before he loses himself; he tries to voice an objection, a warning, about impending mess and how she likely doesn't want that anywhere near, let alone in, her mouth, but he's breathing so heavily he can't really manage words>
 
 ((Well....it is where she's going, so...))
[15:32] arynwyn: Char: <as he pushes her away, her brows knit together> Am I doing something wrong? Do you not like it?... <she continues to stroke him with her hand, though, slowly>
[15:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <can't stifle the groan this time, and his brain stops trying to remember how to speak temporarily as he climaxes; the first thing he thinks when he can once more is to wonder if there's a towel nearby...>
[15:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Off of customers_suck (the incident in the post was on a military base): Bet you she was an officer's wife. In all my years in uniform I found there was nothing more arrogant that the wife of a field grade officer. The number of times I had one of these cows try to push in front of me declaring "I'm Major Smith's wife!" or something like that. 
  
 Well good for you. If I see Major Smith on the street, I am legally obligated to salute him and call him sir. I have to follow the legal orders he gives me. Mrs. Smith? You can get your ass in line behind my glorious enlisted self.))
[15:37] arynwyn: Char: <blinks as he finishes, then grins. she pulls away to find something to wipe her hand on, locating a towel in her closet. she crosses back over to him and starts to clean up the mess, blushing a little. she wants to ask him if she did okay, but she waits, letting him catch his breath>
[15:37] arynwyn: (( <LOL> That is SO true. You have *no* idea. >.< ))
[15:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Ohh...okay...I didn't really...expect that...<licks his lips and pulls her down to kiss her hard, though it's also exceptionally brief, given he still wants air rather badly>
[15:39] arynwyn: Char: <kiss him back gently and tosses the towel on the floor. she sits down on the bed and smiles> But you liked it?... <looks apprehensive>
[15:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Liked? gods...that was...um...something more than liked, I'm still recovering the parts of my brain that use big words...
[15:42] arynwyn: Char: <giggles and lays down next to him, her head on his shoulder> Jaes?... <she chews on her lip> Can I ask you something? <shakes her head> No, nevermind... <she's blushing heavily>
[15:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: No, go ahead and ask.  I won't...think any less of you. <swapping his words out, just in time, as his brain comes back online>
[15:45] arynwyn: Char: <takes a deep breath> Do you... think it's too soon to tell if... <shakes her head> Would you think I'm silly if... if I said... I think I love you? <she closes her eyes, embarrassed that she actually asked> ...nevermind... I'm just being stupid. <she pulls away and sits up, not looking at him>
[15:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <blinks and thinks Oh, so I didn't have to revise just now...; he sits up and slides an arm around her shoulders to cuddle her close to him> Charise, I've been falling in love with you from the moment I first saw you. <kisses her with soft, lingering emotion>
[15:48] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23385182.html)(Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23385182.html)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23385182.html ))
[15:48] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him back gently, tears welling up in her eyes. she pulls away long enough to ask> You have?... <she rests her forehead on his and a tear slips down her cheek> 
[15:49] arynwyn: (( I can't view it. It's locked, apparently. ))
[15:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <he brushes her cheek with his ungloved hand> I have.  I swear.  You think I'd be proposing marriage otherwise?
[15:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Huh.  Locked on C_S? weird.  Well it's on the main page, if you scroll down enough. (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/  ))
[15:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You can read the one from the base exchange too ^_^ ))
[15:50] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> When you first kissed me... that's why I asked you to take me with you. <she kisses him again, the nuzzles his neck> I love you, Jaes...
[15:50] arynwyn: (( okies. ^^ ))
[15:51] arynwyn: (( Which one was the one you wanted me to see first?
[15:51] arynwyn: ))
[15:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I love you too, Charise. <stroking her hair> And we've put off the question from earlier.  Most of me wants to wait to make love to you until we're properly married, and the rest of me just wants to tear your clothes off you now.
 
 
 ((It's by someone named madameenilef; she has no icon.  It starts out "I had a customer today who came up to me for help as I was reaching up to put something away", and has 33 comments))
[15:54] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[15:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((are you logged onto LJ? maybe that's it?  I can't understand why it's locked on a community...maybe you have to be a member of the community to see it?  <confused>))
[15:55] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and kisses his neck> Then lets wait. We'll be traditional and it will be wonderful. Will you stay awhile? Hold me? 
[15:55] arynwyn: (( I tried it once, didn't work, then logged in and tried again... not sure. <shrug> ))
[15:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awww, you probably have to join to see it then.  that sucks.  I'd just tell you to join, but there's a way to join the community and not have it show up on your friends' list that I can't remember - there are dozens and dozens of posts every day so it eats your friends page otherwise...))
[15:57] arynwyn: (( ah. >.< ))
[15:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.  I'm not sure I trust my knees to hold me upright.
[15:58] arynwyn: Char: <giggles a little, then lays down on the bed and snuggles into the covers. she pats the bed next to her> Lay with me? <she smiles up at him, adoration in her eyes>
[15:59] arynwyn: (( What date was the post? ))
[15:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((this girl wears ankle length skirts/pants at work, and she doesn't shave her legs, but she hasn't since she was 15, so her hair's really light and soft and hard to see.  but the customer is all "Do you NOT shave your legs or something?"  She said, "...Do you?" He says "Um, No, I'm a guy." "Well I'm a girl and I don't shave my legs and I don't intend to do so for anyone." "It's not very professional" "Not professional is looking up a girl's ankle length skirt to find something that offends you."  'cause seriously, there's like 5 cms of skin and hair showing that he could hardly see....and it's dated today.))
[15:59] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[15:59] arynwyn: (( Wow, awesome. That chick rules. ))
[16:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Gladly...<stretching out next to her and draping an arm over her; he kisses her neck softly> I can't wait to wake up next to you.  And I hope you don't mind, but I have every intention of spoiling you rotten.
[16:00] arynwyn: (( That entry must be locked. I don't find it. ))
[16:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the comments are all girls talking about their shaving habits. ^_^ ))
[16:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah <sighs> I guess she locked it 'cause she of the discussion about so much personal hygiene.))
[16:01] Chaos Angel Sox: *minus the second she - I have no idea why that's in here
[16:02] arynwyn: Char: <grins> I won't object to that at all. <she cuddles up next to him and closes her eyes, smiling happily> Mmm... I wish you didn't have to go. Another two months... that's going to seem like forever. <sigh> 
[16:02] arynwyn: (( Ah. ))
[16:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <soft kisses> But we can be seen together fawning over each other in public and I can still sneak in here and make you breathlessly ecstatic at night.
[16:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I've got about half an hour))
[16:06] arynwyn: Char: Mmm... that's true. That will be nice. All the single women in Silvermoon will be jealous of me, being on your arm. <kisses him back> And only if I get to make you breathlessly ecstatic too. <grin>
[16:06] arynwyn: ((  Thought you did. ))
[16:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: <forces a sigh as if deeply distressed> Oh I SUPPOSE I can agree to that...<laughs quietly> You'll see.  Between frenzied wedding planning and the impending lack of sleep we're sure to face, the months will fly by.
[16:09] arynwyn: Char: <laughs too> I hope so. <nuzzles his neck and yawns> Do you have any requests for the wedding? A certain place, kind of cake, music? Who are you going to have as your Best Man? 
[16:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: My only request for the wedding is that you adore every part of it. <kiss smooch snuggle>
[16:12] arynwyn: Char: <smiles, her eyes falling closed> I'm marrying *you*... it'd be impossible not to adore it. I should start looking for a dress... <she sounds dreamy> I still can't believe this is happening. I mean... I'm nothing special. Why would you, of all people, want to marry me? I wasn't even good enough for Gregorin..
[16:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: That the vile man you didn't want to marry anyway?  The one who's dead and long gone?  Stop worrying about whether you're good enough for him, or for anyone else.  You're perfect for me.  Perceptive, intelligent, lovely and charming...and just enough of a naughty streak.  <kisses her deeply>
[16:17] arynwyn: Char: <kisses him back, lingering on his lips, then looks up at him, blushing and smiling> Thank you. You are the only person who could convince me of that. <she snuggles deeper into his arms and sighs happily> 
[16:18] arynwyn: (( Hehe, that's what Tim says to me: "You're perfect." "No I'm not." "You're perfect for me." <blush> ))
[16:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Aww. ^_^ ))
[16:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: I hope so; if someone else convinces you you're perfect for them, he and I will have words...
[16:19] arynwyn: Char: <chuckles> No one will ever take me from you, I promise. I would rather die. <kisses his neck softly>
[16:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: And I'd rather you didn't.  So I guess you're stuck with me.  Going to have to tolerate my kisses, my hands on your body...<kissing along her neck and sliding his hands along her in demonstration>...for the rest of your life.  Or the rest of mine, depending on who lives longest.
[16:24] arynwyn: Char: <shivers and whimpers> Tolerate?... That isn't the right word at all... And you better outlive me. I don't think I could bear to lose you. 
[16:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: So what is the word? Flatter my ego, pretty lady. <stopping his attentions to grin at her>
[16:26] arynwyn: Char: <thinks for a long moment (( while Sarah consults the thesaurus...))> Delight in... enjoy... love every second... <grins and kisses him deeply>
[16:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Nick: Mmm, good job. <chuckles>
 
 ((And now I get to go to work, where my awesome boss is waiting, and deal with idiots :P until I can shoo them out of the store and run screaming into the night...))
[16:30] arynwyn: (( okies. <giggle> Have a good night. I'll see you on later. ^^ ))
[16:30] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[16:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod and huggles>))
[16:30] arynwyn: (( I'm going back to sleep. =P ))
[16:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<leaving AIM up of course>  Sleep well ^_^ ))

[02:20] arynwyn: <sigh> Shit.
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: eh?
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: what happened?
[02:21] arynwyn: Pretty much fought all day; I wasn't feeling good, slept most of the day, and Tim was upset because we were supposed to go shopping. I finally got up and we went to the grocery store, only to have all of our credit cards declined and to find out our bank acct is frozen for some unknown reason. We get home and we start fighting again. Tim is upstairs not talking to me and I'm down here, crying and upset.
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: awww <huggles> I'm sorry sweetie.  o_O the credit card thing is scary too. <more huggles.  also hershey's kisses>

[02:46] arynwyn: Oh, my compy restarted and then Tim came down to talk.
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: good talk?
[02:47] arynwyn: <shrug> Both apologized. I'm going to start my anti-depressants again tomorrow, even though they'll make me sick for about a week.
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> period over yet?
[02:48] arynwyn: Nope. 
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ick
[02:48] arynwyn: Yeah.
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs and hershey's kisses. also advil>
[02:48] arynwyn: Heh, thanks.
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm glad things are better.
[02:49] arynwyn: Dunno what to do. I wanna stay on here and distract myself with RP but I think that will upset Tim again...
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: when's Tim likely to go to bed?
[02:50] arynwyn: Not sure. Not for a while though. It's only 9 here.
[02:51] Chaos Angel Sox: normally I'd say he can deal with it, but you've already had two fights today and you both just apologized.  it might be better to play it safe for a bit.  And I don't have to work or do anything tomorrow, so you'll have lots of time with me to RP.
[02:51] arynwyn: I'm going to wait for a commercial and talk to him about what he wants to do.
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: heh. what's on zee boob tube?
[02:52] arynwyn: Boondocks is what he's watching.
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Joe likes that.  I used to read the comic, but I never really got into the show
[02:52] arynwyn: I never got into the comic or the show.
[02:54] Chaos Angel Sox: the only punchline I remember was one about how the price of gas was going up because of a decline in oil supplies and it was something like "How did we invade Iraq and run out of oil? That's like invading Europe and running out of white people!"

[15:55] Chaos Angel Sox: I had the sound turned down 'cause I have a movie on, and I was like "Oh crap, if Sarah comes on, I won't hear AIM beep at me."  And I turn it back up...and then *beep*
[15:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo yay!
[15:56] arynwyn: Sweeeeet. ^^
[15:56] arynwyn: Sorry about last night.
[15:56] Chaos Angel Sox: So am I. >.>  I feel like I abandoned you but I was so half-asleep at the time <hugses>
[15:58] arynwyn: <hugs> It's okay. I didn't want you to go but it ended up for the better. Tim came down not long after and, after about an hour of crying on my part, and an hour of venting his anger and frustration on his part, we got to the heart of the problem, which is my depression, as I knew it was. Apparently he didn't realize it was such a problem.
[15:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Depression just fucks with everything. <still hugging>
[16:00] arynwyn: Yeah, it really does. <still hugging back> The thing that really hit home for him I think was when I told him I don't feel anything when he kisses me anymore. I didn't want to tell him but I did, and that's when he realized how bad my depression's gotten. This happened once before and I tried to break up with him, but that won't happen this time because we both know the cause.
[16:01] Chaos Angel Sox: I hope that's all it is, and that the anti-depressants will help. 
[16:01] arynwyn: <nod> Me too.
[16:01] arynwyn: And thanks for being supportive. It means a lot. You and Tim are the only people I have.
[16:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Awww.  ;__; what about your family?
[16:03] arynwyn: Well, I have my parents, but they live so far away and I hardly ever talk to them. And I don't like to make them worry, so I don't usually tell them that I'm having problems. >.<
[16:04] Chaos Angel Sox: I do that with my parents too. ^_^;; It took me awhile to actually ask for help from them when I really really needed it.
[16:04] arynwyn: <huggles> It's hard. 
[16:06] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> My mom does it too, actually.  She won't ask for help until things get so bad it takes a lot of doin' to make it right.  She's better at making sure things (in general) don't get to that point, but she nearly died between her own stubbornness and the misdiagnosis of some doctors >.>
[16:06] arynwyn: Oh dear. o_o
[16:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Thank god her stubbornness works for as well as against her, or an idiot intern would've done her more harm still. >.> "Can't do surgery 8 hours after you've had orange juice" my ass...
 
 But anyway...<hugs> You shouldn't be afraid to talk with your parents.  Yeah they'll worry; it's what good parents do.  But they might also be able to help, and then everyone sleeps better. ^_^
[16:09] arynwyn: I know. I just... one of the things about my depression is that dissapointing my parents is, just.... unbearable. >.<
[16:11] Chaos Angel Sox: I doubt you're a disappointment to them.  Depression is a hard, and long.  For a while it's a lot like alcoholism: so easy to slip down again.  But I'm sure they'd rather help in whatever little ways they can.
[16:12] arynwyn: I know. Bleh. You're right. >.<
[16:12] Chaos Angel Sox: *hard and long fight. yeesh.  so much for inspirational speeches ^_~
[16:13] arynwyn: <giggles and huggles> S'ok. 'Twas a good speech. ^^
[16:14] Chaos Angel Sox: I seem to have this cat on my lap
[16:14] arynwyn: <snerk>
[16:14] Chaos Angel Sox: anyways...if you need help with anything, you can talk to me.  I don't know how much help I can really be, but I'll try to listen more and preach less.
[16:15] arynwyn: <huggles> Thanks hon. As I said, it means a lot. Having someone to listen is nice, and a girl, nonetheless, and not my husband is even better. 
[16:15] arynwyn: Oh!
[16:15] arynwyn: I didn't tell you. (change of subject though) I got a laptop last night. ^^ 
[16:15] arynwyn: And don't worry, it's not why we couldn't get groceries. >.>
[16:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooooo laptop!!! :D lucky! 
[16:16] Chaos Angel Sox: <jealous>
[16:16] arynwyn: It's all fancy with Windows Vista and all that. 
[16:17] arynwyn: Still trying to get all the advertisement crap off of it though.
[16:17] Chaos Angel Sox: <chuckles> good luck with that :3
[16:17] arynwyn: Yeah, I know. >.<
[16:17] Chaos Angel Sox: can you play WoW on it? that's the important thing....
[16:17] arynwyn: And for some reason it won't let me get rid of the anti-virus on here, some error, and I can't  put the one I bought on until I do...
[16:18] arynwyn: Yeah, I can, I just haven't put it on here yet.
[16:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Weird.  the anti-virus thing
[16:19] arynwyn: Yeah, some stupid error when I try to uninstall it. >.<
[16:19] Chaos Angel Sox: I'd ask Joe but he's still unconscious.  
 It's so weird being up during the day.... >.> 
[16:19] arynwyn: <laugh> S'ok. Maybe when he gets up. 
[16:19] arynwyn: D'you wanna RP or are you sleepy?
[16:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah.  It'll be 2 or 3 hours after he wakes up before he's hungry enough to go get food.
[16:19] Chaos Angel Sox: RP? <bats eyes>
[16:19] arynwyn: <laugh> Sure thing!
[16:20] arynwyn: Oh...
[16:20] arynwyn: >.>
[16:20] Chaos Angel Sox: hm?
[16:20] arynwyn: Well, I was gunna havce Mairen show up at Thandren's, but then I'm like... argh, another single char... I seem to have so many more chars than you. >.<
[16:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh, well if we keep finding charas of yours that are single we can keep fixing that....
[16:21] arynwyn: <snerk> kk
[16:21] Chaos Angel Sox: and then I'll catch up to you in charas pretty quickly...
[16:22] arynwyn: Well, you should make some single chars for me to make chars for you! er, something like that...
[16:22] arynwyn: Oh!
[16:22] arynwyn: Oh! OH!
[16:22] arynwyn: Hee.
[16:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh?
[16:22] arynwyn: Thought of some drama.
[16:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh? ^_^
[16:23] arynwyn: What if a man shows up, a sexy, powerful (physically and rank-wise) Blood Knight and asks Kat out. <giggle> 
[16:23] arynwyn: *?
[16:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmm.....
[16:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Someone with money and power enough to take care of her and her siblings?
[16:24] arynwyn: Oh yes.
[16:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh dear.  Well...she'd probably try and gently put him off for a bit and then cave on a date if he kept insisting....
[16:26] arynwyn: <chuckle> He's not the type to give up easily. But it's up to you. Thought it'd mix things up a bit. Now that Sasuke is out of the picture (or is he?), Kat and Kil are too happy. =P
[16:26] Chaos Angel Sox: I like it.  :3  Fly in the ointment always good.
[16:26] arynwyn: Hehe.
[16:27] arynwyn: Okay, so there's that, there's the wedding, there's Arianna's breakdown...
[16:27] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> I really do think that whole thing will be necessary for Lore.  he won't realize how much Ari means to him until he doesn't have her around all the time anymore...
[16:27] arynwyn: Mkay. so you wanna continue with that?
[16:28] Chaos Angel Sox: If you're awake enough for it this time, I am. ^_^;  That last time we tried this was just torture.  I'm sitting here going "Stop falling asleep!! It's too tempting!" (while Lore is just going "Stop falling asleep!" ;__; ))
[16:29] arynwyn: <laugh> Yep. I'm good. ^^
[16:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Sweeeeet.
[16:29] arynwyn: Mkay, where to start... uhm, Ari will be gone when he wakes up. So, start then or that night?
[16:30] Chaos Angel Sox: <shares chocolate molten lava cake w/ powdered sugar>
[16:30] arynwyn: <YUM>
[16:30] arynwyn: Now I want another brownie. >.>
[16:30] arynwyn: Hey, I don't spose I could talk you into sending me that recipe, could I?
[16:30] arynwyn: :-D
[16:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Umm....that night, I'd say.  All he's going to do is mope all day when he's not selling stuff.
 
 Which one?
[16:31] arynwyn: The chocolate molten lava cake, of course. ^^
[16:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Ah. Not a recipe.  A friend gave me a mix in a box for my birthday back in June.
[16:32] Chaos Angel Sox: I think it was....Duncan Hines?  Maybe not...I don't remember.
[16:32] arynwyn: Ari: <steps into the common room that night *covered* in flour, muttering to herself and leaving a thin trail of white dust on the floor. she starts stripping off her boots and cloak, anything excess. her hair is a mess and her skin is slightly pasty from the sweat and flour mixing together>
[16:32] arynwyn: Ah, okay. Even better. ^^
[16:32] arynwyn: (( ))
[16:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heheh. I'll try and find the buttons and bowknots recipe for you though...))
[16:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((buttons & bows - same thing))
[16:33] arynwyn: (( mmm... thanks! anything you wanna send me, I'd love. I desperately need recipes. All I ever make is brownies and spaghetti it seems like. >.> ))
[16:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <is on the floor towards the back of the common room covered with puppies, pretending to be in pain, though occasionally his "Ow!"s sound real as a puppy gets a good chomp in> Oh no! Wolf pack's got me!!  Hey, watch the teeth there, buddy... <he looks over at Ari as she comes in and scrambles to his feet, leaving disappointed wolf pups in his wake> Ari! Gods, were you rolling in flour? ...<pause for mental image...>...and if you were, I want to know why you were doing so and why you didn't invite me over to watch...
[16:37] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs> I wish it had been half that fun. No, one of our large bags of flour (think 20 lbs) exploded everywhere when I dropped it. <shakes her head> I need more sleep, I'm too weak during the day. <she does, indeed, have dark circles under her eyes and it looks like she's lost a lot of weight> Having a good time with the puppies? I still haven't named a pup yet. <heads into the kitchen for a glass of water>
[16:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...Ari...maybe you need more help?  Perhaps your brother could help around the shop?  You're doing too much. <he follows after her>
[16:41] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0527W04.htm#2)(Link: http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0527W04.htm#2)http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0527W04.htm#2  That's where I found the recipe again for buttons & bows.  I'll email you the "recipe" for the little snacky breadsticks I make - there're almost NO measurements for it  ^_^ ))
[16:41] arynwyn: Ari: Who, Killian? No. He'd never "stoop so low"... <shakes her head> I'll be okay. I just need to... to sleep a little more. <takes a long drink of water> Which means I should go to bed. <she sets the glass in the sink and looks down at herself> Ugh, after a bath.
[16:41] arynwyn: (( Sweeeet. :-D ))0
[16:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh, literally ^_~ trust me))
[16:42] arynwyn: (( <giggle> I'm sure. ))
[16:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <hopeful half-smirk> Care for company? You could just lean against me and I'll wash the flour off for you. <wraps his arms around her and kisses her forehead, leaving a smooch mark and dusting his lips with flour>
[16:44] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckles and closes her eyes> I'd love to, but... we'd end up fooling around and I really don't have time for that. <soft sigh> I'm sorry.
[16:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <heavy sigh> It's okay.  You need your sleep, I know that. <squeezes her tightly for a moment, then pulls away, sliding his hands off of her.  He brushes some flour off her cheek gently> Just...um...maybe I could take you out for lunch tomorrow, instead of bringing it to you?
[16:51] arynwyn: Ari: I... <chews on  her lip> Should I just close the shop, then? <sighs> Lunch is my busiest time, though. Everyone comes over their lunch break to buy something for dinner. <sighs> Lunch will be fine, I can shut the store for an hour. <nods a little, then heads toward the stairs>
[16:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs> I don't want to hurt your business... <think: well, I kind of do...> ...maybe a late lunch?  After the rush is over? <he says this as he follows, so they can talk while she gets done what she needs to>
[16:55] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> That will be fine. <she opens the door to the bathroom and steps in, running some hot water, leaving the door open for the time being, allowing him in if he wants> Say, two o'clock? Usually things slow down around then. That's when I start baking cakes for the next day. <she shuts the door behind him and slips out of her clothing> 
[16:57] arynwyn: (( Ahh... yay for allergy/sinus headache meds. ))
[16:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs> So no matter what I do, I'm interrupting? <he watches her undress, but most of his dirty thoughts stay to the rear of his mind for now.  He rubs the back of his neck thoughtfully> 
[16:58] arynwyn: (( the man awaketh! ))
[16:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((fall allergies?))
[16:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((eh?))
[16:58] arynwyn: (( Eh, I have allergies year round, but I think I've got a bit of a sinus infection... ))
[16:58] arynwyn: (( Tim's up. ))
[17:00] arynwyn: Ari: <steps into the water and sits down, exhaling slowly. she looks over when he speaks, sad> Lore, it's not like that... <Well, it kind of is...> It's just, things have been so crazy since I switched shops. Do you want me to shut it down?
[17:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
[17:02] arynwyn: (( <huggles> :-D ))
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...I want...<sighs and kneels next to the tub, reaching out to touch her hair>...I want you to be happy.  Whatever makes you happy.
[17:06] arynwyn: (( sec ))
[17:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure sure :) ))
[17:07] arynwyn: Ari: <looks at him a long moment, then sighs and dips her head back into the water. she suds up and washes quickly, then steps out and reaches for a towel to dry off with>
[17:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <gets the towel, wrapping it around her> Sleep well, sexy, hm?  <kisses her cheek again softly>
[17:11] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses his cheek back> You don't want me to sleep with you again? <looks away> I suppose that's fair. <she opens the door and pads out, going down the hall to her room>
[17:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <exhale, pursue> Of course I do, Ari.  I'm just...not as exhausted as you are; I'm actually kind of wound up from playing puppy chew toy.  If you want to sleep in my bed, I'll happily join you later.
[17:13] arynwyn: (( Hehe, installing Sims 2 and Sims 2: Open for Business on here. :-D ))
[17:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Wooooo!))
[17:14] arynwyn: Ari: <shrugs and closes her door, searching around for something to sleep in. she comes across one of Lore's shirts and slips it on> I'll sleep in here, it's fine. <she steps over to him and kisses his cheek quickly> Goodnight. <she slips into her bed>
[17:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs and comes over to tuck her in>  Get lots of sleep, hm?
[17:17] arynwyn: Ari: Heh, I wish. I'll probably only get four hours, five if I'm lucky. <she snuggles against her pillow and closes her eyes>
[17:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: But you're so tired...<think think> Do I need to tell Kat and Kil to keep it down?  Are they waking you up?
[17:18] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> It's not them. I've just got too much on my mind. 
[17:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <smooths her hair back> Then stop thinking and start sleeping.  <leans down to kiss her>  
[17:20] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back gently and nods> I'll try. <she closes her eyes again> Blow out the candle as you leave? Please?
[17:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Of course. <blows the flame out, rises and crosses the dark room; he shuts the door behind him quietly and leans against the door quietly>
[17:22] arynwyn: Ari: <rolls over and stares into the dark for a long while before sleep overtakes her>
[17:23] arynwyn: (( uhm, lunch the next day? ))
[17:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[17:24] arynwyn: <the store is bustling with people as Lore enters. Ari and Charise are behind the counter, taking orders and money, handing out cakes and chatting with customers. Ari smiles at Lore as he enters, but has to turn back to her customer before she is able to say anything. when she gets a chance, she motions Lore in behind the counter and to the back room>
[17:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <has to practically push his way through people to get to her, but he manages to finally shove his way past the counter and into the back room with her.  He smiles warmly at her, determined to be upbeat for her> I told you you'd be popular, sexy. <kiss>
[17:27] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and kisses him gently> Popular is an understatement, I think. <she slips off her apron, looking back into the shop in a distracted sort of way> So where are we going?
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Don't worry, it's close. <offers her his arm>  They have a lunch special that's really tasty.
[17:30] arynwyn: Ari: <takes his arm and follows him out, nodding to Charise as they go> Sounds good. Charise is going to keep the shop open while I'm gone. I'll be behind on making my cakes for tomorrow, but at least I won't lose business today.
[17:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...so any more news on this mysterious man you think your sister's somehow hiding? <smiles as they walk>
[17:33] arynwyn: (( I'm going to say they haven't told her yet, 'cause when they do, Chari is also going to tell everyone at the hall. ))
[17:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee ^_^ ))
[17:34] arynwyn: Ari: Nothing yet. But she's been exceptionally happy recently. I still think something's up. <chuckles a little>
[17:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Well it's good she's happy though, whatever's going on with her.  I mean, we didn't meet her under the best circumstances, but...oh here we go.  <pulls a chair out for her at a little sidewalk cafe>
[17:36] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and nods, sitting down greatfully> That's true. She's not been happy for a long time. <she glances back in the direction of her shop worriedly> I hope she has met someone.
[17:37] arynwyn: *gratefully
[17:37] arynwyn: (( er... which is it? my brain is fuzzy. >.> ))
[17:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((gratefully))
 Lore: <smiles at her determinedly> I'm sure she'll speak up when she's ready.  <the waiter comes up> Oh, I'll have the lunch special, with a glass of the house wine, please.  <looks to Ari> What would you like? 
[17:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm feeling like I need to be experimenting in the kitchen again...but I don't have the stuff I need for what I want to do....I'll have to ponder on this...))
[17:39] arynwyn: (( <chuckle> ))
[17:40] arynwyn: Ari: Hm? <looks back from gazing over her shoulder> Er, the same is fine, thank you. <she smiles a little sheepishly at Lore>
[17:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <the waiter nods and leaves.  Lore leans across the table to kiss her> Hey, so thought up any good puppy names?  That one that keeps falling all over your feet is kind of bitey but "Chomps" is more a dog name than a wolf name....
[17:43] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and returns the kiss> Not yet. I haven't had a lot of time to think about it, really. My mind has been rather one-track since I opened my shop...
[17:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...so I'd say "Fang" if there wasn't already a fearsome animal named that.  <grins>  ((Sorry - preview for PotC3 on DVD...<cough clear throat>)) Bite...chew...mouth...err...kind of hard.  Maybe we should focus on something else for his name? <think: Stop thinking about the shop...>
[17:47] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> Hm... What color is he again? <think: I can't believe I have to ask that... <mental sigh>>
[17:48] arynwyn: (( yay, Sims is done! ))
[17:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <stifles a sigh; the waiter brings their glasses of wine> ((Woooo!)) Mostly silver, with some black patches.
[17:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And Joe's moving about and talking...whether he's really *awake* remains to be seen...))
[17:50] arynwyn: Ari: <takes her glass and sips at the wine> Silverfang? <she shrugs> I'm not sure. I've never been good with names. Graytooth? 
[17:50] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[17:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Silverfang's nice.  <grins> See, who says you're not good with names?  You could be a huntress just on that alone. <chuckles as he drinks his wine>
[17:53] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and takes another drink> Eh, animals don't like me that much. <fights the urge to glance over her shoulder again. think: The shop is *not* on fire. Relax!>
[17:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Fang likes you.  I like you more. <smirk; the lunch specials arrive> So see, you're fine with animals.
[17:55] arynwyn: Ari: <grins and starts to pick at her food. she doesn't eat much> Maybe. I love the puppies though. They really are adorable.
[17:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: I'm not adorable? <deliberately overdone pouting...then he steals some of the food off her plate with a grin>
[17:57] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> You are more than adorable. <she scoots her plate closer to him so he can help himself. she drinks more wine> 
[17:58] arynwyn: (( Woo. Tim went to Best Buy to use a gift card he got and he's getting me Sims 2: Seasons. :-D ))
[17:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay!!! :D You're catching up ^_^ ))
[17:58] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[17:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Oh? Tell me more? I miss your little endearments...<bats his eyelashes at her and eats from his own plate>
[17:59] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I can't wait to call our bank tomorrow to bitch them out. There is NO reason our acct should be frozen. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Ugh. ))
[17:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keeeeeeeeeeeeeel them))
[17:59] arynwyn: Ari: <grins> You are sexy, sweet, charming, good looking... <takes a small bite> Not to mention, great, no...  fantastic in bed. 
[18:00] arynwyn: (( Fuck monkeys, I swear. >.> ))
[18:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heheh))
[18:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...<grins> any chance we can nip back to the hall for a bit?  Quick little tryst, hm?
[18:03] arynwyn: Ari: <looks down at her plate for a moment, thinking, then back up at him, giving him a small smile> Sure, Lore.
[18:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <tries not to be obvious about eating faster> Ahh, two best words I've heard in days.
[18:05] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckles a little. she's stopped eating, only sipping her wine occasionally> Whenever you're ready then. 
[18:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks at her plate and chews through his food, swallowing quickly> ...you're done?  Are you sure?  Didn't like it?
[18:07] arynwyn: Ari: Oh, no, it was delicious. <think: I just don't have an appetite anymore.; she smiles> I'm just not that hungry. 
[18:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <frowns briefly, then stands, dropping some coin on the table> Okay.  Shall we then?  <he offers his hand to her, smiling - not smirking or grinning, just a simple smile>
[18:10] arynwyn: Ari: <takes his hand and stands as well, smiling back> Sure. Lead the way. <she walks along beside him, hand-in-hand, trying not to worry or even think about the shop> (( Obsess much, Ari? ))
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <kisses her hand as they walk back to his shop> So...any special requests, sexy?  Or should I just focus on making you as happy as possible...as quickly as possible?
[18:15] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> Whatever you want, Lore. <pulls open the shop door as they arrive and steps inside>
[18:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shuts the door behind them> I just want you. <pulls her in and kisses her, moving her back towards the commons>
 ((he shut his shop down for this anyway))
[18:17] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[18:18] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back, allowing herself to be moved backwards, her hands around him and resting on his back>
[18:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <considers just taking her behind the counter, or down in his lab, but almost as quickly rejects both of those "as not good enough".  He picks her up and heads through the common room door for the stairs>
[18:22] arynwyn: Ari: <chuckles a little, her arms around his neck> Impatient?
[18:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: For you? Pretty much always.  <barely manages to avoid stepping on a puppy in his flight up the stairs; he pushes his bedroom door open>  Never any such thing as "enough" of you.
[18:25] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles and kisses his neck> That's nice to hear. <she slips out of his arms and starts stripping, dropping her clothes in a pile on the floor>
[18:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <is pulling his own clothes off quickly, when he's not trying to kiss her. If you mention the store, I may go insane...> Speaking truth to beauty, sexy.  Remember? <mostly naked now, he pulls her in against him with a hunger that seems to permeate his entire being, just to have her next to him>
[18:30] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back deeply, but her mind is elsewhere; she's not focusing on the moment. Lore may or may not notice, depending on how focused he is. she backs toward the bed slowly>
[18:30] arynwyn: (( Don't want to do too much detail. Tim's back from the store. =P ))
[18:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that's fine; Joe's not far away ^_^ ))
[18:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((besides, Lore's been with enough women to know when he's the focus of their attention...and he's upset enough to be very put out at that))
[18:33] arynwyn: (( oh dear. ))
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <rather than pulling away he pushes her out of kissing distance, his hands on her arms> Ari?  You with me? <studying her face>
[18:34] arynwyn: Ari: <looks up at him and smiles> Yeah, I'm here. <she leans in to kiss him again>
[18:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <threads his hands into her hair on either side of her face to hold her there, as if he could make her not think about anything but him by doing so>
[18:37] arynwyn: Ari: <takes a deep breath and forces herself to focus, kissing him again deeply, and this time with feeling>
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <picks her up and carries her to bed, absolutely determined he will make her forget the store and her stress and the customers and everything, and sets about doing his damnedest to reach that goal> 
[18:42] arynwyn: Ari: <a while later, she lays on the bed panting, her eyes closed. she doesn't want to get up, she doesn't want to go back to the shop. she wants to lay here next to Lore and drift off to sleep. but she forces herself to sit up and finger-comb her hair>
[18:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <pushes himself up after her, kissing her shoulder> How do you feel? <rubbing her other shoulder>
[18:45] arynwyn: Ari: I... <sighs and shakes her head> I'm fine. I should get back to work though. <she slips out of bed and searches out her clothes, pulling them on>
[18:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((looks like we'll probably be leaving around 3 pm your time for food and movie.))
[18:47] arynwyn: (( sounds good. what are you going to see? ))
[18:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Just fine? <sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her>
 
 ((Eastern Promises.  Mmmm, Viggo Mortensen fighting people while naked...))
[18:47] arynwyn: (( <drool> ))
[18:49] arynwyn: Ari: <pulls on her shirt and walks over to him, smiling and leaning in to kiss him> It was better than fine, but I'm just "fine" now because I have to go. And I don't really want to. <she sighs and sits on the bed to pull on her boots>
[18:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ....normally this is where I say "So don't"...but I know this means a lot to you....right? <kissing her neck while she tugs her boots on>
[18:51] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and stands up> I suppose so. <she heads to the door> I'll be extra late tonight, since I'm starting my baking tomorrow's cakes late. You probably shouldn't wait up. <she opens the door>
[18:52] arynwyn: (( Eh, not the most eloquently written sentence, but you get the idea. >.< ))
[18:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs and watches her leave> ... ... ...<think: I feel the need to drink large quantities of alcohol.  I wonder if I can pull Ash or Kat away from their partners long enough to come with me...probably not.> 
[18:54] arynwyn: Ari: <glances back at him, a sad look on her face, before she steps out and closes the door softly>
[18:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore: Being alone sucks.  I don't like it. >.> ))
[18:55] arynwyn: (( Hehe, yay. He's getting there. =P ))
[18:57] arynwyn: Ari: <true to her word, she comes in extra late that night, past two a.m. she heads into the kitchen and gets herself a glass of water, standing at the sink and staring off>
[18:58] Chaos Angel Sox: <Lore isn't there> ((give it a bit))
[18:58] arynwyn: Ari: <starts to cry softly, setting the glass down and going over to a chair. she curls up in it after kicking her boots off, her face buried in her arms>
[19:01] Chaos Angel Sox: <There's a scrabbling at the back door; the knob jostles...and then Lore comes in, stumbling.  A puppy darts out of the way as Lore closes the door by falling against it>
[19:01] arynwyn: Ari: <looks up, blinking through her tears. she says, weakly> ...Lore? Are you alright?
[19:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Alright? I'm...'bout...150 proof....
[19:03] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and stands, walking over to him and taking an arm> I'll take you upstairs... <she starts to lead him to the steps>
[19:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <throws his arm off her...and promptly falls down> ((We may need to leave in an hour to get food; forgot it's Sunday and it's Indiana - everything closes early >.>))  ...yeah, take me upstairs.  Uh huh....
[19:06] arynwyn: (( <laugh> no worries. ))
[19:07] arynwyn: Ari: <kneels next to him, tears falling again> Lore, come on. You need to sleep this off. Why did you go get drunk anyway?...
[19:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...needed to feel...warm...don' ...like...bein...'lone.....
[19:10] arynwyn: Ari: <pulls away> Did you... pick up someone, Lore? Did you sleep with someone else?...
[19:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <tries to shake his head but he just sort of falls over again> ...nly way not to be 'lone 'sh t' be with you....'n th' booze keepsh me warm...ish.
[19:13] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs in relief> Come on, let's get you upstairs. <she takes his arm and tugs up on him, leading him toward the steps again> I'll keep you warm. I'll sleep in your room tonight. 
[19:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks at the floor> ...an' you'll be gone in th' mornin'....
[19:16] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and bites back her retort, pushing open his bedroom door. she leads him over to the bed and sits him down, then kneels to pull off his boots>
[19:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...I miss you.  I never e'en get t' see you...<drunkenly pulls her up to hug her awkwardly...but tightly>
[19:20] arynwyn: Ari: <more tears as she hugs him back. she buries her face in his neck and sighs> I miss you too, Lore. So much... <she pulls away and brushes hair out of his face, smiling a little> You should rest. Get the alcohol out of your system. <she pushes him down into a laying position>
[19:21] arynwyn: (( Hm, Is Lore missing her enough? 'cause after this night of only two hours of sleep, it'd be a good day for her to break down... ))
[19:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <fumbles for her, trying to pull her down> Don' go...don'....
 
 ((He got thrashed and actually turned other women away; I'd say he misses her enough ^_^))
[19:22] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk ))
[19:23] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him gently> I'm just going to change, okay? Give me thirty seconds. <she pulls away and tugs off her clothes, slipping on a nightgown and then crawling into bed next to him. she snuggles in close>
[19:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <reaches for her until she comes back, then clings to her>...don' go. <he mumbles, drowsy with booze and emotion> ...don' wan' you to anymore.
[19:27] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and strokes his hair as tears flow down her cheeks> Sleep... <she kisses his cheek softly> Sleep. <she closes her eyes as well, nuzzling his neck and trying not to sob loudly>
[19:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <holds onto her like a frightened child with a teddy bear, still mumbling "don' go" and "shtay" as he starts to drift away into sleep>
[19:32] arynwyn: <a couple of hours later, Ari slips out of bed and changes quickly, feeling ill from fatigue. she walks through the cold early-morning air to her shop and opens it, then begins on her routine of making more cakes...>
 
 Char: <mid-morning, at about ten o'clock, Char arrives at Lore's shop from Ari's, looking worried> Hey Lore... You might want to go check on Ari. She's... acting strange. She told me to leave, then shut and locked the door and disappeared into a back room. I don't have a key, so I can't get back in...
[19:32] arynwyn: (( assuming that Lore isn't too hung over to open his shop... ))
[19:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he might be...but Joe's getting dressed so supposedly we're leaving soonish))
[19:33] arynwyn: (( oh, okies.
[19:33] arynwyn: &nbsp;-))
[19:33] arynwyn: ))
[19:34] arynwyn: (( finish later then? ))
[19:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod nod nod>))
[19:34] arynwyn: (( okies. <huggles> Have fun. Any idea what time you'll be back around? )0
[19:34] arynwyn: ))
[19:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ummm....it'll be after midnight my time when the movie's over...so probably quarter till 1 AM my time? so that's...quarter till 7 PM where you are?))
[19:37] arynwyn: (( sounds good. See you then! ))
[19:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Tomorrow I have class and then work, so I probably won't be on until 11:30ish PM server time ( >.> still using server time when in doubt).  It might even be a little later than that, depending on whether or not I need to put out the new movies :P ))
[19:38] arynwyn: (( mkay. hehe, sounds good. hopefully we'll get our bank thing fixed and we can go shopping. ))
[19:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm hoping I won't be all tired when I get back from the movie, but I have been up most of the day.
 I hope so too!  Food good!!!))
[19:39] arynwyn: (( mkay. have fun! ))
[19:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll at least get on long enough to drool over Viggo with you :3 ))
[19:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is it bad I looked at "Viggo" and thought I'd typed "veggies" for a second?))
[19:44] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[19:44] Chaos Angel Sox: (("I'm just going to the bathroom" he says....and like 2 hours later maybe he'll come out...))
[19:44] arynwyn: (( <snicker> men... ))
[19:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((don't promise me Outback and then back out! ...wait...))
[19:45] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[19:46] arynwyn: (( I'm going for a nap. <huggles> Have fun and I'll see you sometime tonight! ))
[19:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay! <hugses> nap well and prosper!))
[19:46] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))

Session Close (arynwyn): Sun Oct 14 19:46:57 2007


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Mon Oct 15 02:22:32 2007
[02:22] arynwyn: Send me a message when you awaken, fair maiden, and I shall return from The Sims! <giggle>
[02:22] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: Shh! The Socks is sleeping!
[07:54] arynwyn: Still sleeping?! O_o
[08:04] Chaos Angel Sox: sorry - was having a torrid love affair with the snooze key
[08:05] arynwyn: <LOL>
[08:05] arynwyn: No worries. Lemme close out Sims.
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[08:05] arynwyn: <huggles> Happy sleepings?
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod> Yep yep.  spent my snooze key time pondering Kat being torn between two guys.
 
 <huggles>
[08:06] arynwyn: <laugh>
[08:06] arynwyn: Still an okay idea?
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course!
[08:07] arynwyn: 'Cause if not I can always give that guy to Mya.
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: she might still be able to have him, if Kat stops being a martyr
[08:08] arynwyn: Mkay. ^^
[08:09] arynwyn: So, whenever you're ready we can finish up the Ari & Lore thing. I want to take back what I wrote before, though, 'cause one thing that's gunna push Ari over the edge is Chari and Jaes' engagement.
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo okee :)
[08:09] arynwyn: Lemme know. I dunno if you need food or a minute to wake up or whatever.
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: I've spent an hour "waking" up essentially; and I have to figure out what to have for brekkies first....maybe more chocolate molten lava cake....
[08:10] arynwyn: Mmmmmm....
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: so we can go ahead and start
[08:10] arynwyn: Sounds like my kind of breakfast. ^^
[08:10] arynwyn: Okies.
[08:10] arynwyn: Uhm... 
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: uhm?
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ancient oriental meditation of uncertainty
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: uhhhmmm
[08:11] arynwyn: <laugh> 
[08:11] arynwyn: Just need to refresh what I wrote before... lemme look at the log a sec.
[08:12] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[08:12] arynwyn: <a couple of hours later, Ari slips out of bed and changes quickly, feeling ill from fatigue. she walks through the cold early-morning air to her shop and opens it, then begins on her routine of making more cakes...>
 Char: <steps outside at about nine to wait for Jaes to arrive so they can share their good news with Ari>
[08:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <comes strolling along up the street, whistling merrily.  He beams at Charise as he catches sight of her outside>
 Lore: <decides his own shop can have the morning off, groans and rolls back over, trying to ignore the sunlight>
[08:17] arynwyn: Char: <grins as she spots him and crosses the distance to him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him gently> I missed you!
[08:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <chuckles and leans in to whisper> For what? The last four hours since I left your room? <he kisses her cheek and pulls away just enough to offer her his arm>
[08:20] arynwyn: Char: <giggles and takes his arm> Yes, well, every hour I spend away from you seems an eternity. <she heads back toward the shop> Oh, just a warning... my sister isn't in the best mood today. I don't think she got much sleep last night. So if she seems distant, that's why. Don't think she doesn't like you. Who wouldn't like you? <grins up at him>
[08:21] arynwyn: (( (Link: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21246628/?GT1=10450)http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21246628/?GT1=10450 Yeesh... ))
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <laughs, holding the door for her> You think far too highly of me, pr...my dear lady. 
[08:23] arynwyn: Char: <grins and steps inside> Ari? There's someone I want you to meet.
 Ari: <steps out from a back room, wiping her hands on a towel. she looks *terrible*. she forces a smile for Jaes> Ah, I knew you were keeping someone hidden. <she steps out around from behind the counter>
[08:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Poor kid! O_o))
[08:24] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles and bows for her> Jaes Doranar, m'lady.  A pleasure to finally meet you.  I've been looking forward to this.
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hold on))
[08:26] arynwyn: Ari: <nods and extends a hand, giving him a weak handshake> A pleasure, Lord Doranar. 
 Char: <looks up at Jaes with a "can I tell her?" look, waiting>
[08:26] arynwyn: (( sure thing. ))
[08:27] arynwyn: (( tweaking Ari's color. ))
[08:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry about that - our A/C's broken...and then it started leaking water onto the floor >.>))
[08:36] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. >.< ))
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah.  Fun ~_~ ))
[08:37] arynwyn: (( At least it's fall now and you don't need your A/C. ))
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Murph's cat box is near the A/C unit so I double-checked it and it needed cleaning anyway so I went ahead and did it while I was there...anyway, back to RP))
[08:37] arynwyn: (( Ah, okies. ))
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles at Charise and nods a little>
[08:41] arynwyn: Char: <beams up at him then turns to Ari> We're engaged. Mother and Father have already given their permission and everything. Isn't that great?!
 Ari: <blinks a couple of times> Oh. ...wow. <she leans in to give Chari a small hug then nods to Jaes. she says in a hoarse whisper> Congratulations. Uhm, Chari, you can take the rest of the day off, okay? <she turns to go into the back room>
[08:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <looks at Charise, frowning mildly.  He asks her quietly> She doesn't sound good.  Should she be working?
[08:45] arynwyn: Ari: <disappears>
 Char: <watches her go and sighs> I don't think she's well... I should talk to Lore, her boyfriend. Maybe he can help. Will you come with me to the guild hall?
[08:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <nods> Of course.
[08:47] arynwyn: Char: <takes his hand and leads him out of the shop and across the Bazaar. she steps into the commons room and looks around>
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <Lore is struggling down the stairs towards the commons room; having given up on sleep, he has decided to worship at the altar of coffee to seek the easement of his hangover>
 Jaes: ...he doesn't look much better than she did.
[08:50] arynwyn: Char: <sighs> Lore? Have you seen Ari recently? She doesn't look very good and I'm a little worried about her. She just told me to take the day off but she stayed there... I'm not sure if, in her current state, she should try and take on the shop by herself...
[08:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks at Charise....leans in close to study Charise's face>
 Jaes: <clears his throat and pushes Lore back a step or two>
 Lore: Oh yeah, you.  <pushes the rest of her words through his hungover brain> One cup of coffee so I don't pass out getting across the street and I'll drag her back here to sleep if I have to...<not relishing going out into the sunlight>
 Jaes: <looks around, sees the kettle on the stove over in the kitchen and goes to start water boiling>
[08:54] arynwyn: Char: <sighs again> Very well. <she goes to help Jaes> Are you hungover, Lore?
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Massively.  I think next chance I get, I'll craft a hangover remedy in the lab...<sits down, then realizes there's someone else there> Hey...who's this guy?
[08:57] arynwyn: Char: <pours Lore a cup of coffee and takes it to him> This is Jaes Doranar, my fiance. <beams over at Jaes>
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <bows> Pleased to meet you.
 Lore: <drinks coffee, scalding his tongue a little> Fiance...what, really?
 Jaes: <frowns> Is it hard to believe a beautiful and intelligent young woman of good family would find someone desirous of marrying her? 
 Lore: No, no...just...nevermind. <drinks more coffee>
[09:01] arynwyn: Char: <blushes a little and says softly> Yes, Jaes, it is. And these people here don't see me as you do; they don't see the "beautiful and intelligent young woman" you see. <stands up> Do you want a cup, Jaes?
[09:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Well y'ever think the reason we don't see that is 'cause you stay in your room all the time? <stands up, braced with caffeine> Okay...dragging Ari back and making her sleep, damnit.
[09:04] arynwyn: Char: <sighs and nods, biting back her retort> 
[09:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <keeps quiet for the moment, but whispers to Charise> As far as I'm concerned, anyone who can't see you as beautiful and intelligent is blind. <quick kiss> Do you think he'll need help with her, in his state?
 Lore: <is heading for the front door...despite the fact that he's got pants on.  and that's it>
[09:08] arynwyn: Char: <closes her eyes and sighs in exasperation> Lore, do you think you should put on a shirt? And shoes, perhaps?
[09:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <ignores her; he's busy figuring out the locks again...once he remembers how to unlock his door he strides out into the Bazaar, only flinching once from the pounding sunlight>
 Jaes: <sigh> I don't know if that's the hangover or not...<following Lore>
[09:11] arynwyn: Char: <follows too, taking Jaes' hand> ... ... ...
[09:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore: I will use the might of my awesomely ripped chest to persuade her to come back to the hall! Rawr!))
[09:11] arynwyn: (( <snerk> ))
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <heads straight (relatively - he's still a little wobbly) for Ari's shop, ignoring the gasps, stares and occasional whistles that the sight of him inspires in the early morning crowd> 
 
 ((door locked or no?))
[09:15] arynwyn: (( nope. ))
[09:15] arynwyn: (( closed sign is up though ))
[09:15] arynwyn: Ari: <is in the back room, in a corner, sobbing hysterically>
[09:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <heads in> Ari...? <looking around.  He closes the door behind him and starts investigating> Ari, your sis says you don't look so good....and she's engaged.  <pushes his way into the back room>
 Jaes: Think we should wait out here then?
[09:18] arynwyn: Ari: <is sobbing to hard to answer, but she holds her hands up in a "don't come any closer way", shaking her head>
[09:18] arynwyn: (( grr ))
[09:18] *** arynwyn wants to directly connect.
[09:19] arynwyn: Char: <nods and steps away from the door, looking worried> Yeah, let's Lore handle it. Or try, anyway. I've never seen my sister like this. She's always been the level-headed one.
[09:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was getting cake))
[09:21] arynwyn: (( No apologies for THAT! <giggle> ))
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Making you the silly, flirts-with-thieves one? <he asks quietly>
 Lore: <sighs, looking at her> Arianna...what's wrong? <he doesn't try to get closer yet, but he does kneel down>
[09:24] arynwyn: Char: <giggles> No, that's something you brought out in me. I've always been the moody, brooding one. No one ever liked me much.
 Ari: <continues to sob> I... I can't... do this... <gulps for air> ...anymore... no more... please... <hiccup>
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Please? Why are you asking me?  If you're unhappy doing something, then stop doing it, Ari. <tries to move closer to her>
 
 Jaes: Try smiling more.  Or sleeping in moonlight around them.  They worked wonders for me. <kissing her>
[09:30] arynwyn: Ari: ...Chari... <sob> ...engaged... she... she... <breaks down for a long minute and is unable to speak. she finally regains some control and takes a deep, shaky break> I just... can't let you down... or me... 
 
 Char: <chuckles> Smiling more, now, will be easy. Sleeping in moonlight is something reserved 'specially for you. <kisses him back and smiles>
[09:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: It'd better be.  I should warn you I have this tendency towards jealousy...
 
 Lore: <creeps closer and moves to pull her into his arms> Ari...how would you let me down, hm?
[09:35] arynwyn: Char: <grins> Good. I like that. I want you to be possessive and jealous. Because I am too. 
 
 Ari: <lets him pull her close, leaning against him heavily and sobbing hard again> Be-because you... you helped me start... and you... let me use your shop... and you... you believed in me... 
[09:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...Ari <patting her back reassuringly> I do believe in you.  But if this isn't what you actually want to do, don't keep doing it because you think I'll be upset with you otherwise.  
 
 Jaes: So...out of curiosity, if some lovely young woman started flirting with me...well, a lovely young woman who wasn't you....?
[09:38] arynwyn: Ari: <hiccuping> But... I can't... I can't have what I want. <sob>
 
 Char: ...I'd tell her to bugger off. And if she didn't, I'd ruin her. <tries to say it casually>
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Oh dear.  Poor unfortunate girl.  ...so long as I don't get ruined in the process. <kisses her hand>
 
 Lore: <looks confused>What do you want then, Ari?  Besides sleep, I'm sure...
[09:42] arynwyn: Char: <grins> Never you. Never. <stands on her toes to kiss him deeply, whispering> I love you. I'd never want you ruined. ...as long as you're not flirting back. <wicked grin>/
[09:42] arynwyn: (( grr ))
[09:43] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head fervently> No, no... don't ask me that, please... <continues to cry and tremble>
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <looks more confused; his hangover's not helping> Ari...look, do you want to run this shop?
 
 Jaes: I'll keep that in mind.  <brushes her cheek> Have I mentioned how much I love hearing you say you love me? 
[09:47] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head again, clinging to him> No, please... I can't do this anymore. /
[09:47] arynwyn: (( GRR. Stupid shift key is too damn small. ))
[09:48] arynwyn: Char: No, you haven't. Go ahead and tell me. <grin> Convince me of how much you love it and I'll continue to say it.
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <pulls her close and whispers how much he loves her in her ear...as well as how much he loves doing certain things to her>
 
 Lore: Then don't.  You don't have to beg to get out of it, Ari.  It's your shop; close it down and come home.  <kisses her head> I've missed you too much anyway.
[09:52] arynwyn: Char: <giggles and leans up to whisper her love to him, and some choice other things as well>
 
 Ari: <wipes at the tears on her face and nods> ...kay... <she struggles to stand, but her knees are weak and she's shaking something terrible>
[09:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <helps her stand and stay upright> And when I get you home, you're sleeping for as long as you need to, do you understand?
 
 Jaes: <kisses her cheek and laughs to himself> Soon, pretty lady.  I promise.
[09:57] arynwyn: Ari: <holds on to him tightly> Yeah, sleep would be good... Will you sleep with me? Or rest? I... I don't want to be alone... <sniff>
 
 Char: <grins> I can't wait. <nuzzles his neck>
[09:59] arynwyn: (( Sorry I've been slow. Mark was on and we were talking. ))
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <smiles adoringly at her>
 
 Lore: <walking her towards the shop door> I don't want to be either.  <kisses her temple and manages to get the door open>
 
 Jaes: <straightens up and takes a step towards Lore and Ari as they exit>
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay.  Talking good...I hope))
[10:00] arynwyn: Char: <steps over too, looking worried> Ari? Are you okay?
 
 Ari: <doesn't look at her sister, instead she buries her face in Lore's neck and starts to cry again quietly. she prays that Lore leads her past them and back to the guild hall quickly>
[10:00] arynwyn: (( Yes, it was a good talk. ))
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((YAY!))
 Lore: I got her, it's okay...<keeps going>
 Jaes: Are you sure?  You both seemed to be...
 Lore: <shoots Jaes a Glare>It's fine.  Go spend time with your fiancee.
 Jaes: <blinks and stops trying to interfere>
[10:04] arynwyn: Ari: <breathes a sigh of relief and her tears ease>
 
 Char: <puts a hand on Jaes' arm> Jaes... <sigh> Let's just go. Somewhere. <starts to walk off in a random direction> I don't think I should go back to the guild hall for a while. Lore owns the place and if he's upset with me, or if Ari is, then I'm not welcome. 
[10:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: You're always welcome at my townhouse here in the city.  Come brighten the dreary place up some, hm?
 
 Lore: I'd carry you if I was more certain I wouldn't just fall over and injure us both <as they cross the Bazaar; there's more talking about the half naked man escorting an obviously wearied young woman>
[10:08] arynwyn: Char: <smiles and nods> Shall we go there now, then? I know I can't stay the night, but maybe you can sneak me back in through the window tonight? <grin>
 
 Ari: <still leaning on him heavily> S'fine, Lore... I don't expect anything like that... <she stumbles on a stone>
[10:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <catches her> Yes, well, I thought women liked being swept off their feet.  <He holds the door of his shop open for her>
 
 Jaes: <chuckles> If you're caught in my townhouse at night, I'll pick up this terrible reputation as a man who steals women away in the night to do horribly naughty things to them and rob them of their virtue.  To say nothing of the reputation you're likely to acquire...
[10:14] arynwyn: Ari: <steps inside and heads into the common room, steadier now, her mind on getting into bed and sleeping for days> 
 
 Char: <smiles> I don't want your reputation ruined. I could care less about mine. <shrug> But I meant you could sneak me back into the guild house tonight. After things cool off. <slips a hand in his>
[10:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Oh well, I can try anyway.  You may have noticed I'm not always the most graceful thief...
 
 Lore: <follows her, ready to catch her again if he has to> C'mon, to bed with the both of us.
[10:18] arynwyn: Char: <grins and leans up to kiss him> I think you're the perfect thief. Afterall, if you hadn't woken me... |
 
 Ari: <climbs the steps slowly, feeling like they're never going to end, each step taking the last of her energy> ...bed... <she finally reaches the top and half-stumbles down to Lore's room. she pushes the door open and starts stripping, unaware and  uncaring if anyone can see>
[10:19] arynwyn: (( Bleh, minus the | ))
[10:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <does care, and shuts the door quickly behind them; he just falls into bed>
 
 Jaes: ...You claiming I stole your heart? <chortle>
[10:22] arynwyn: Ari: <strips until she is completely naked, then drops into bed next to him, shivering and snuggling in next to him> Lore, I... <she feels more tears burning her eyes and sighs> I love you. <she rolls over, facing away from him, and closes her eyes> Thank you for coming to get me.
 
 Char: <grins> I thought you knew that? You took my heart when you stole the kiss. <wraps his arm around her as they walk>
[10:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Well...who knew stealing hearts would be easier than stealing jewelry? <pretends to ponder this exciting new business venture>
 
 Lore: <drapes an arm over her> Sleep.  When you finally wake up, I intend to keep you in bed for a few hours longer anyway.
[10:27] arynwyn: Char: Hey! You better only be stealing *my* heart! <punches his ribs playfully>
 
 Ari: <nods, but begins to cry again. she tries to suppress her sobs but it only causes her to hiccup loudly. she puts a hand over to mouth to keep quietly, but it helps only a little>
[10:28] arynwyn: *keep quiet
[10:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sits up to look down at her> Ari...you won't ever have to even look at that place again if you don't want to.  What is it?
 
 Jaes: <pretends to be direly wounded, clutching at his ribs dramatically> ...I suppose there's less of a market...<pulls her in to kiss her as they reach his front door>
[10:31] arynwyn: Char: <giggles and kisses him back deeply, leaning up to whisper "I love you" before stepping inside> 
 
 Ari: It's... it's nothing... <she pulls away and slips out of the bed, wrapping a blanket around her> I'll just... sleep in my room... <still crying and sniffing>
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <begins introducing the future lady of the house to the staff, always holding her hand or touching her arm or just outright kissing some part of her>
 
 Lore: I thought you wanted to sleep here? I...I want you to sleep here with me.
[10:36] arynwyn: Ari: I... I can't... I can't do this... <she looks to the door, wanting to escape, but then she glances back at Lore and the bed and her eyes well up with more tears. she ends up sinking to the floor and sobbing>
 
 Char: <speaks politely to everyone she meets, smiling and looking happy. she sticks close to Jaes, kissing and touching back when he does, following his lead>
[10:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Can't do...?  Ari, you're not making any sense.  You're too tired...let's just sleep for now...
 
 Jaes: If you want to actually tour the gardens, we can...<whispers> as opposed to my using the view of the gardens as an excuse to get you alone in my bedroom to grope you again...
[10:42] arynwyn: Char: <whispers back> But this time the groping would be mutual. <grins> I'd love to see the gardens. <she slips a hand in his and lets him lead the way.
 
 Ari: <shakes her head> No, I... I just... <takes a deep breath then nods slowly as her weariness overtakes her. she curls up on the floor, in the blanket, and closes her eyes>
[10:43] arynwyn: (( stupid nose won't stop running. ~_~ ))
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.noneedforbushido.com/archive.php?strip_id=209)(Link: http://www.noneedforbushido.com/archive.php?strip_id=209)http://www.noneedforbushido.com/archive.php?strip_id=209  it's the last panel that's great.  All you really need to know for this strip is that our heroes are improving a Kabuki play and the main actress and actor are doing that "We like each other but won't fess up thing"))
[10:45] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[10:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <laughs as he leads her outside> Naughty, naughty, future-wifey-poo.  
 
 Lore: <sighs and goes over to pick her up and bring her back to bed>
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I think that's the way Kat would do kabuki...or any sort of play, really))
[10:46] arynwyn: Ari: <helps him a little, climbing into bed and laying down, then promptly passing out>
 
 Char: <grins> Mmh, why thank you.
[10:46] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I hate the word "fanart"... I always see "fanfart"... >.> ))
[10:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh>))
[10:50] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[10:56] arynwyn: (( Did I DC? ))
[10:56] arynwyn: (( Oops, okay. ))
[10:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sighs> ...so it's not just the shop then.  <brushes hair out of her face while she's unconscious.  Think: You're fed up with me too, hm?  Probably just asked to sleep next to me to try and be nice to me, then couldn't stand it.  <sigh> Well, if this is going to be my last chance to snuggle up next to you, I'm taking it.  He settles down in next to her.  You can tell me to go to hell when you wake up.>
 
 Jaes: ((Sorry maintenance showed up; we have a sheet of ICE in our A/C >.> It has to melt before he can do anything so he's going to do some other work orders and come back)) Mind you, I'm not complaining...<as they come out into the gardens, he lets his hand around her slip to her backside again>
[10:58] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. And no worries. ))
[11:00] arynwyn: Char: <looks back at him, raising an eyebrow and giggling. she turns to face him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply>
 
 Ari: <doesn't wake until late that night, about three a.m. she rolls over to see if Lore's there, her stomach grumbling and her mouth parched>
[11:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm just going to drop Jaes and Char unless you have something specific you want to do with the lovebirds?))
 
 Lore: <passed out, snoring lightly, one arm draped over her possessively>
[11:03] arynwyn: (( Not really. That's fine. ))
[11:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((they're mostly being smoochy and lovey-dovey anyway <3 <3 ))
[11:04] arynwyn: Ari: <watches him sleep, brushing some hair out of his face and smiling> Why don't you love me, Lore? What is wrong with me? Why can't you... <she shakes her head> Stop it, Arianna. You knew this was how it was going to be when you got into this relationship. <she slips out from under his arm and climbs out of bed, going over to her clothes and pulling them on>
[11:04] arynwyn: (( Mhm! It's cute. <3 Jaes. ))
[11:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: I beg to differ.  While I am being smoochy and lovey-dovey, I am also barely restraining my romantically lecherous impulses, thank you very much.))
 
 Lore: ((Lore: Noooo! Don't get dressed!! ;__; all my dreams...ruined...)) <stirs and mumbles as she gets out of bed> Ari...don' go...<rolls over and snuggles into his blankets>
[11:07] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[11:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes = romantically lecherous; Lore = lecherously romantic.  I think.  Maybe the other way around...))
[11:08] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and finishes dressing, then looks over at him and says quietly> It's better this way, Lore... You need to be free. I knew that when I started this, but it hurts too much now... <she steps over to the door and pulls it open>
[11:08] arynwyn: (( Other way 'round, methinks. :-D ))
[11:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah I think you're right.))
[11:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <groping sleepily for her next to him in bed>
[11:10] arynwyn: Ari: <looks back at him one last time, then steps out and shuts the door quietly. she goes down to the kitchen to make herself something to eat>
[11:10] arynwyn: (( Er, we can FF to when Lore wakes up, if you want. ))
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he's waking up; it just takes him a bit ^_^))
[11:11] arynwyn: (( oh, okay. =P ))
[11:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <blinks his eyes open to peer at the bed when his hands can't find her.  He has to look for long minutes before his sleep-dazed brain gets it.  He tosses the covers aside dramatically, throwing himself out of bed, ready to chase her down...and then he remembers his conclusion from just before going to sleep.  He sighs heavily and figures What the hell, I'm up and heads downstairs for some coffee and food>
[11:14] arynwyn: Ari: <sits at the table, a sandwich in front of her. only a few bites are gone, and she sits with a cup of tea in her hands. her eyes are red and puffy, obvious signs she's been crying again, and she glances up as he comes down>
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...you're still here.  <he sounds relieved...then he clears his throat> I...thought, when I woke up and you weren't there...that you were going to leave.  <laughs mirthlessly as if to say "See how funny a joke that is? Laugh at what a silly thought crossed my mind...">
[11:17] arynwyn: Ari: <looks away, out the window> I thought about it. I may still. <sips her tea> I just... <shakes her head> You deserve better than this. Better than me. <stands and drops the rest of her sandwich on the floor for the puppies to get when they wake up, then takes the plate into the kitchen> Do you want something to eat?
[11:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and lo, maintenance returneth))
[11:19] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[11:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Better than you? Ari...<finishes coming down the stairs and goes over to her>...I don't think better than you exists.
 
 ((I have declared that Lore will not be the type of playboy who can't declare honest emotions....once he knows he has them >.>))
[11:21] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[11:23] arynwyn: Ari: Oh, there are better. Look at my sister. <rinses her plate and finishes her tea, then washes out the mug. she turns to look at him, sighing> It would be better for both of us, I think, if I did go. I don't want to, but... I can't take this pain anymore. <she leans against the counter and looks down at the floor>
[11:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Your sister isn't better than you are.  Not to me.  And I know I'm not the only one who matters in the world, but...I don't see how your leaving is better for me.  I missed you enough as it is, when you were just across the Bazaar, or in your room sleeping.  I don't want you to go, Ari.  ...and maybe it's better for you and maybe it's not, but...aw hell, I don't think I'm making any sense...
[11:28] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs and closes her eyes, willing herself not to cry again> Lore, we want two different things. I went into the relationship knowing that, and I was willing to accept that difference. But there's obviously something wrong with me, some reason you... you can't love me. <she pushes away from the counter and crosses back over to the window, looking out at the stars> 
[11:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: There is nothing wrong with you.  <he walks up behind her and strokes her hair>  You ever think it's something wrong with me?  That I'm just too thick-headed and blind to appreciate what I've got until it's taken away from me?  ((yeah actually that's it exactly....  Lore: I know! Shut up!))
[11:32] arynwyn: (( <snicker> ))
[11:34] arynwyn: Ari: <shakes her head> No, it's not you. <her voice drops into a hoarse whisper as she starts to cry again> It's... it's me, Lore. I'm sorry. I tried so hard to be... perfect for you... gave you everything I could... but... it's not enough... and it never will be... <rests her forhead against the window as the tears fall>
[11:34] arynwyn: (( <wipes a tear away> Ugh, I put too much into my characters. >.< ))
[11:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <pulls her away from the window and holds her> Ari, will you listen to me already?  I've been going crazy ever since you started the shop because I never even got to see you anymore.  I just watched you get eaten away by the stress and...I felt useless.  It was terrible.
 <lifts her face to his> Ari, you're everything I ever wanted in a woman and a lot of things I didn't know I wanted and did.  I was just too dumb to realize I was falling for you.
[11:39] arynwyn: Ari: <wipes some of the tears away> Lore, don't do this. Don't... <she pulls away from him and goes to sit back down> I don't want more pretty words. I don't want to be charmed anymore. It hurts too much. Please... No more.
[11:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Gods, woman....do you NOT listen? <strides over and pulls her up out of the chair, holding her in place> I Am Falling For You, Arianna Vel'Ranian. <saying each word distinctly> If You Leave Me I Will Track You Down And Drag You Back Here.  <sighs, loosening his grip> ....unless you really don't want me anymore.  I won't make you be somewhere you don't want to be.
[11:46] arynwyn: Ari: <looks shocked and a little terrified as he grabs her and yanks her up, and begins to tremble> ...Lore... <blinks a few times after he lets her go, processing what he said. she leans against him, resting her head on his chest> Of course I don't want to go, Lore... 
[11:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <wraps his arms around her> Then Don't.  Don't do what you don't want to.  Don't run the shop...and don't leave.  Personally I'd prefer you didn't make me beg for that last...it hurts my pride.  And my knees.  But I'll do it if I have to. 
[11:50] arynwyn: (( uh oh... gunna get in trouble. >.> ))
[11:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O trouble bad...))
[11:50] arynwyn: Ari: <looks up at him, smiling lightly> You are? You... are falling for me?... 
[11:51] arynwyn: (( Oh, guess he's not coming down. Tim got up to go to the bathroom, thought he was gunna come down and scold me for being up still. I was supposed to go to bed a couple of hours ago, since we have to go shopping today. >.< ))
[11:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...I admit, I'm stupid and slow about these things.  But I am...I just didn't realize it until you...til you weren't around anymore.  I was really happy when you were working with me in the shop though.  It was...idyllic.
[11:52] arynwyn: (( Heh, too bad you don't have a single guy... I got the other sister all planned out. ))
[11:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((....it is almost 6 AM there, yeah? >.>  And heh...I can always make single guys.))
[11:53] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> I'd like to keep selling cakes, but only a few a day. And only here, with you. Anything else is too much, I can't handle it. And I will pay you rent, of course.
[11:53] arynwyn: (( Yes, it is. And <shrug> if you want. Not a big deal. ))
[11:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers> Who was complaining about how she had so many more characters than I did.....? ))
 Lore: You won't do any such thing. <nuzzles her ear>
[11:55] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Yeah. Oops. >.< ))
[11:56] arynwyn: Ari: <wraps her arms around him and hugs him tightly> You couldn't stop me last time. <soft giggle>
[11:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sigh> If you're going to insist on rent, can I ask for non-monetary forms of payment? <grin> Pleeeease?  I missed that too...
[11:57] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs quietly> That doesn't have to be payment, Lore... <nuzzles his neck>
[12:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: So then we're back to no rent!  Genius! <holds her to him> Do whatever you want, so long as you stay.  I think I'm likely to go mad without you....or turn into a raging drunk, one or the other...
[12:01] arynwyn: Ari: <cuddles close> I'm not sure I'd sur-... nevermind. <quick change of subject> And I will too pay rent. 
[12:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Will not! <grinning happily>
[12:04] arynwyn: Ari: Mhm. <closes her eyes and yawns> You didn't notice before, how would you notice this time?
[12:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - response coming))
[12:10] arynwyn: (( no worries. ))
[12:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: ...because now I know to look for it!  And if I catch you...the punishment will be severe!! <smirk>
[12:12] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles> I'm tremblin' in my boots! And I'll just have to come up with another clever way. <smiles up at him, thinking I love you, Lore. I wish I could say it to you. Maybe you can read my mind, or see it in my eyes...>
[12:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Heh, I can think of better ways to make you tremble...<smiles softly> But mostly I really am just glad you're staying. <bends to kiss her softly with a depth of emotion he's never displayed before>
[12:15] arynwyn: Ari: <kisses him back; the feeling makes her knees go weak and brings tears to her eyes (again)> Me too, Lore... me too. Lore, I... <bites her lip, then shakes her head> ...nothing, nevermind...
[12:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: You'd better still love me. <nuzzling her neck>  I hope that's what that was going to be as opposed to "Lore, I have to go to the bathroom, let me go"...
[12:17] arynwyn: Ari: <laughs> Yes, I do still love you. I just never know if it's something you want to hear. <sighs a little and looks up at him> I won't say it, if it bothers you. It's just hard to contain sometimes.
[12:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Say it all you want. <kisses her> Please.
[12:21] arynwyn: Ari: <returns the kiss> Alright, I will. <nuzzles his neck> D'you want to go back to bed? I'll sleep naked again... 
[12:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <arches an eyebrow> Promise?
[12:23] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles> Mhm. <kisses his neck and pulls away, taking his hand and pulling him to the stairs> But that means you have to be naked too.
[12:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Well, compromise is important in a relationship...<following after her>
[12:23] arynwyn: (( mkay, sleep for me. ))
[12:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Figgered. ^_^ ))
[12:23] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[12:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles> See you later on tonight))
[12:24] arynwyn: (( Yep! Have a good class day. D'you work? ))
[12:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod> yep yep >.> 
[12:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[12:24] arynwyn: (( Time? ))
[12:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll be back around...6:30ish PM your time.))
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so 12 hours from now >.>))
[12:25] arynwyn: (( mkay. have a good day. see you later on. <hugs> ))
[12:25] arynwyn: (( haha. ))
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugs> Happy sleepings!))
[12:25] arynwyn: oh yes.

Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Tue Oct 16 01:22:48 2007
[01:22] arynwyn: Heyo?
[01:22] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles>
[01:22] arynwyn: Woo! <huggles>
[01:23] arynwyn: How's it?
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Pretty good.  'm a little tired, but I don't know if I'm nap tired or not.  Work went okay. 
 
 How's it on your end? Get everything straightened out with the bank and get your shoppings done?
[01:24] arynwyn: Yep! Even got some Halloween decorations. S'all good now.
[01:24] arynwyn: I just woke up from a nap. Hehe.
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY!!! Did you slap the bank peoples around? :3
[01:26] arynwyn: Tim did, yeah. =P
[01:27] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> awwww, but you didn't get to? Tell him to share next time.
[01:27] arynwyn: <laugh>
[01:27] arynwyn: Oh! And we went out to eat and I got molten chocolate cake for dessert. Like totally wow. 
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY!!! :D Isn't it gooooood?
[01:28] arynwyn: <nodnodnodnod>
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: :3 Mmmm chocolate.
[01:29] arynwyn: Yep! Oh, and I was going to get frozen bread dough for those breadsticks, but apprently the commissary doesn't sell any such thing. =)
[01:29] arynwyn: *=(
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: awwww 
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: well you can make 'em when you move to MN ^_^
[01:30] arynwyn: For sure.
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: :3 yay
[01:31] arynwyn: Hehe. So, when you decide if you're gunna nap or if you wanna RP, lemme know. I'll be here. :-)
[01:32] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm leaning towards nappy noddles...but I'm reading this article about cats in Iraq
[01:32] arynwyn: O_o
[01:32] Chaos Angel Sox: With their survival instincts, the cats of our neighborhood learned in the first winter of the war that food and shelter and human kindness lay within the walls. Outside, among the garbage heaps and sinuous alleyways, human beings were struggling for their own survival, and a cat’s life was likely to be meager, embattled and short.
[01:33] arynwyn: Heh. Strange.
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: so of course, the cats multiplied in the green zone.  and they couldn't get them neutered 'cause most of the vets had fled >.>
[01:35] arynwyn: Oh dear.
[01:35] Chaos Angel Sox: On that bitter night in 2005, I went a step further. Making my way to a veranda overlooking the spot where the kitten was crying, I “bombed” it with a feather duvet off an absent colleague’s bed before it could scoot into an inaccessible recess in a garden wall. Thus did we acquire Scooter — white, with flecks of ginger and tabby, a female of extraordinary agility, who found a way, when still no bigger than the palm of my hand, to leap and claw her way out of a cardboard packing case five feet high.
[01:36] arynwyn: Awww.
[01:37] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> stories of cute kitties in war! I couldn't resist.
[01:37] arynwyn: <laugh>
[01:38] arynwyn: Just goes to show that the War in Iraq affects more than just Americans and Iraqis.
[01:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod nod>  CUTE KITTENS ARE SUFFERING!! END THE WAR NOW!
[01:39] arynwyn: <giggle> Tell that to Congress. 
[01:40] Chaos Angel Sox: You'll be up for a bit?
[01:40] arynwyn: Yep. I just got up. I'll play some Sims until you get back.
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: okee.  I'll try to only be gone 2 to 3 hours....er...probably 3.  But if I'm awake enough when I get back, I'll be good for awhile ^_^
[01:41] arynwyn: Sweet. <huggles> Sleep well.
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: thankee.  enjoy your Simming :D
[01:41] arynwyn: Hehe, okies.

[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mhm.  I' m trying to get my eyes to stay open
[05:48] arynwyn: Go back to sleep? >.>
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: i'm already late coming back for when I said I would
[05:49] arynwyn: No worries Jen. 'member, sleep when you want to and need to. I'm not in control of you. :-)
[05:49] Chaos Angel Sox: I just don't want you to think I don't like RPing with you or something.  Sometimes you think silly thoughts like that ^_~
[05:50] arynwyn: Heh, I was actually thinking that earlier, but... I'll get over it. I realize these are just my insecurities coming out. They plague me, but I deal. If you need  to sleep, please sleep.
[05:50] arynwyn: I'll be here when you wake up.
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: okay. <hugses>

[12:51] arynwyn: <huggles>
[12:51] Chaos Angel Sox: surprised you're awake ^_^
[12:51] Chaos Angel Sox: happy s'prise. :)
[12:52] arynwyn: Woke up when Tim came downstairs.
[12:52] Chaos Angel Sox: did you fall asleep by the computer, silly? 
[12:52] arynwyn: Uhm, yes. >.<
[12:52] Chaos Angel Sox: awwww.  I'm sorry I crashed for so long. ~_~
[12:52] arynwyn: S'ok. You needed the sleep.
[12:53] Chaos Angel Sox: yeah apparently >.> yeesh.
[12:53] arynwyn: Hehe.
[12:53] arynwyn: So what are your plans for the day? Do you work?
[12:54] Chaos Angel Sox: <throttles Maybess Riverbreeze>
 
 No work! No school!  Might go see Eastern Promises tonight with the boy.  We were going to try to catch a matinee but there aren't any through the week, just Sat & Sun :P
[12:54] arynwyn: Ah. And who is Maybess Riverbreeze?
[12:56] Chaos Angel Sox: quest giver in Felwood.  I looked up what I can do with these tainted patches of skin and they're for a repeatable quest.  She's supposed to give me the quest so I can turn all this crap in...but no, she only has some other freakin' quest about blood amber. ~_~ argh.
[12:56] arynwyn: Oh. hm. Never did Felwood, sorry.
[12:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh well. <logs out of WoW now that she's somewhere safe> thottbot's no help on this either.  She's the horde quest giver, not some night elf? great.  too bad she's not helping me.  And why am I getting stuff for a quest I haven't accepted? >.> wtf?
 
 Anyways....you sleep okay?
[12:58] arynwyn: Short, and I dreamt of Sims all night. >.<
[12:58] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> oh dear.  that can't be good...
[12:59] arynwyn: Yeah, was kinda crazy.
[12:59] Chaos Angel Sox: the cheat codes any help? ^_^
[13:00] arynwyn: Some, but I'm a little afraid of using too many of them. I mostly only use the money cheat. >.<
[13:01] Chaos Angel Sox: they don't do anything terrible...well, most of them don't.  the cheat to play with their needs is a godsend.
[13:02] arynwyn: that's the one that's tempting me the most. 'specially since I have a family of 5: two family oriented Sims who want 10 kids (>.>-), a child, a toddler and a baby, then one in the oven. >.<
[13:02] arynwyn: *(>.>-)
[13:02] arynwyn: Frackin thing.
[13:03] arynwyn: *( >.> )
[13:03] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>
[13:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Gods  >.> They want 10 kids? O_o 
[13:03] arynwyn: Yep. >.<
[13:05] Chaos Angel Sox: they'd better start with the woo-hooing.  Also the getting the kids grown up and sent off to college.
[13:05] arynwyn: <nod>
[13:05] arynwyn: I wish I had University, but alas, I do not.
[13:06] Chaos Angel Sox: uh oh.  Then they won't be able to have 10 kids.  It's 10 "characters" (including pets) per lot.
[13:07] arynwyn: They can "find own place" though. Move 'em out. =P
[13:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh good call.
[13:08] arynwyn: 'sides, I don't think they're going to make 10 before they get old.
[13:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Oops.
[13:08] Chaos Angel Sox: there's a cheat to turn aging off but I forget what it is
[13:09] arynwyn: Oh, uhm... I found that cheat online. Don't remember it off the top of my head though.
[13:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Might be necessary ^_^
[13:10] arynwyn: Maybe. I'm curious for them to get old though. =P
[13:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Argh! Type stupid fingers!
 
 Fingers: Hey we were just gonna build Sim houses and play WoW.  You never said anything 'bout no typing!
[13:11] arynwyn: <snerk>
[13:12] Chaos Angel Sox: So....I have all this sugar... >.>
[13:12] arynwyn: Sugar? Oh dear.
[13:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Had 3 chocolate molten lava cakes w/ powdered sugar for breakfast.  I have skittles, a hershey's bar and starbursts nearby (as well as my stash of hershey's kisses).  Already pondering rum & coke... 
 
 ...I'm so going to end up with diabetes...
[13:13] arynwyn: O_o
[13:13] arynwyn: You sound like me. <giggle>
[13:14] arynwyn: And I was afraid you'd be too tired to RP. <laugh>
[13:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh.  After all that sleep?  And I'll just start in on the sugar if it gets bad.  Mmmm starbursts
[13:15] arynwyn: <giggle>
[13:15] arynwyn: Oh, the cheat is, apparently (I've had problems with cheats not working) just aging off or aging on in the cheat window. <shrug>
[13:17] Chaos Angel Sox: hey whatever works. ^_^ See, you can stop aging them long enough for them to pop out 7 more kids and then let them age again.
[13:17] arynwyn: Oh, that's a good idea. >.>
[13:17] arynwyn: Give me a few minutes, Tim wants to see me before he goes off to work.
[13:19] Chaos Angel Sox: kk
[13:24] arynwyn: Mkay, lemme run to the bathroom. 
[13:24] Chaos Angel Sox: kk :)
[13:26] arynwyn: I want food too but I don't know what I want. >.<
[13:27] Chaos Angel Sox: sugar!
[13:27] arynwyn: <snerk> Yeah, sugar is prolly a good idea. 
[13:27] arynwyn: You wanna RP by chance? I was trying to wait for you to ask. >.>
[13:28] arynwyn: But I'm having withdrawal. >.<
[13:29] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> I pretty much always want to RP unless I'm too sleepy.  And even then I want to.
[13:29] Chaos Angel Sox: The spirit is willing but the flesh is sometimes weak and sleeply.
[13:29] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[13:29] arynwyn: Who should we torture today? <steeples her fingers>
[13:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmmm....we can do the thing you suggested with the other guy for Kat....or we can work on the uber complicated plotline but I'm not sure what to do with it from here.....hold on, cat's being needy
[13:32] Chaos Angel Sox: okay lap is now purring kitty free
[13:32] arynwyn: Well, the thing I haven't decided yet is if I want to make him... 'cause if I'm going to bring in Chari's and Ari's sister, she's gunna be like that. >.>  As for the other plot, I'm not really sure either... Then also, I've been toying with something for Mya and Ath... Would Selrone be willing to do anything against a family member (like Ath) after his power is taken away?
[13:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Plotting and scheming, sure.  Anything involving personal injury or worse is a bit touchier; he might do it if thwarted in his other schemes enough, but he'd need help.  He's not a rogue, and if it traced back to him, he'd be in BIG trouble.
[13:34] arynwyn: So he's not above hiring someone to hurt/kill Ath? Or is that a stretch?
[13:36] Chaos Angel Sox: If he gets pissy enough about not being able to get control of their generation back from her, yes.  He has supporters inside the family that might take action on his behalf though, without waiting for or seeking his actual approval.
[13:36] arynwyn: Hm. That's fine too. Let me run my plan past you and you can see if there are any holes... 
[13:37] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure
[13:39] arynwyn: Someone starts... following Mya around (this doesn't necessarily have to be the guy she falls for, since I can't work out why a rich noble would do this, but...). Not really stalking her, but showing up in enough places that she realizes this. But before she can confront him about it, there's a scuffle outside of her and Ath's windows. He's seen the the rogue trying to sneak in (to kill Ath) and has stepped up to fight him off, getting wounded in the process. From that, I'm not really sure. I suppose that depends on if she's interested in him or not. Stupid?
[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Not at all.  And that's possible.  There is at least one decent rogue in Selrone's group of supporters who might try such a thing.
[13:41] arynwyn: Mkay.
[13:42] arynwyn: Also, I think I'm kind of scared of bringing this guy in for Kat 'cause, after I thought about it, he's a lot like Demzer, only not quite as evil.
[13:43] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O 
[13:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Umm....I'd rather not be tied up and tortured as part of foreplay...
 Mya: You don't know what you're missing...
 Kat: ...can I keep it that way?  Please?
[13:43] arynwyn: Nothing like that! <LOL>
[13:44] arynwyn: He's just very... powerful, in more than one way. Has a commanding presence, always wears his armor, has a thick shell, etc.
[13:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh okee ^_^;
 Kat & Mya (at the same time): He always wears his armor?
 Kat: Seems like that'd make things....difficult....
 Mya: Oh there are ways...
 Kat: <looks at Mya> You know...you kind of creep me out.  I mean, I know you're kind of, sort of, not really Lore's cousin, but...
 Mya: <rolls her eyes>
[13:47] arynwyn: <LOL>d
[13:47] arynwyn: Maybe this guy is more suited for Mya. <giggle>
[13:49] Chaos Angel Sox: <chuckles> Most likely.  ^_^; 
 Throwing him at one girl doesn't mean that's the one he ends up with. <grins>
[13:49] arynwyn: True that. ^^
[13:50] Chaos Angel Sox: my kitty is being very needy >.> Anyways....
[13:50] arynwyn: Aww. Poor Murphy.
[13:50] Chaos Angel Sox: mew mew....hold on
[13:51] arynwyn: <laugh> My husband's being needy. He laid down next to me on the futon and said, "Bug me!"
[13:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <LoL> dump bugs on him? ^_~ j/k
[13:52] arynwyn: I tickled him. =P
[13:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Better plan :D
[13:54] arynwyn: Alright, so... for the huge plot. We're making Ren the Chief Warlock, yes? So there's always Ren & Rav against Damien & Xen again. But they're going to find out Rav is the powerful one so they're going to go after her. <scratches her head> I thought I had something about Bren too,  but I can't 'member now...
[13:56] Chaos Angel Sox: :3  Ren's the lead candidate at any rate - by a hefty margin.
[13:56] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[13:57] arynwyn: I think how it's going to go is... like what happened with Hal. Damien is going to end up fighting someone (a rogue sent after him? Thandren himself? Dunno.) and get injured, then decides dying over this and losing Xen isn't worth it. Unless you think that's dumb? Is there another choice?
[13:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooooo epic lock battle between Ren and Dam....
[13:58] Chaos Angel Sox: cold kitten nose!
[13:58] arynwyn: Between me and myself? >.<
[13:58] arynwyn: <giggle> Aww.
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh good point. >.> crap.
[13:59] arynwyn: You could always RP one of them. =P
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ack! nose!
[13:59] arynwyn: <giggle>
[14:00] arynwyn: But yeah, that'd make sense.  In my mind, Ren is a far better lock than Damien...
[14:01] Chaos Angel Sox: We could have Ren incapacitated again - the trick will be doing something Rav can't heal him right out of.....but if we can manage that....who else would be a match for Damien?  Xenoliya would, but she's not going to fight him. :P  Cyla'd get her ass kicked, I think...Mya might be able to take him, but she'd get pretty beat up in the process...
[14:02] arynwyn: Bren is a useless fighter. Unless he's got some powers he doesn't know about. You know, we could always do...
[14:02] Chaos Angel Sox: do what? I wanna know! telllll meeee :)
[14:03] arynwyn: I had been thinking about having Mairen show up, being all lonely since her sister is gone and such. She's a mage. We could always say that, since Rav left, she's been training like crazy, and she's now really powerful?
[14:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooo.  that'd be good :3
[14:04] arynwyn: 'cause she's so much fun to RP. <giggle:>
[14:05] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod> we need to bring in zee seeesters.  Dunno what to do about Taena, but...
[14:06] arynwyn: <shrug> Maybe she went off to train exclusively with the Blood Knights.
[14:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I miss my sisters.  <hugs Mai> Don't leave too!
[14:07] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs back and clings> I'm not going anywhere! (( Is this too hard to read? ))
[14:07] arynwyn: What the heck?
[14:07] arynwyn: The color changes. >.>
[14:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> looks the same to me and it's readable))
[14:07] arynwyn: (( Damn it. ))
[14:08] arynwyn: (( It's supposed to be light, light pink. ))
[14:08] arynwyn: (( Test ))
[14:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Good 'cause I still haven't had a proper wedding...one where my husband can actually say his own oaths.  And my sister's supposed to be there for it.
[14:08] arynwyn: (( Better I guess. ))
[14:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that's darker than the other pink))
[14:08] arynwyn: (( Oh really? So it's only changing on my screen? Weird. ))
[14:08] arynwyn: Mai: Oooo! A wedding!!
[14:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: We'll get you the prettiest maid of honor dress, I promise. ^_^
[14:10] arynwyn: Mai: Yay! Oh! And we have to get a cake! What kind? Vanilla is white, which is good for weddings, but chocolate tastes the best... <goes on musing about cakes>
[14:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <giggles> I'm glad your priorities are straight, Mai
[14:12] arynwyn: (( And Mairen is going to have a small bloodthistle addiction, now that I can choose the char flaws myself. >.> ))
[14:12] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles too> I don't get cake that often! Especially since you left...
[14:12] arynwyn: (( going to be secret, unless she's caught though. ))
[14:13] arynwyn: (( 'cept maybe Bren suspects. ))
[14:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((WHAT?! You mean she's not going to be a perfect pretty princess?!))
[14:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ^_^ ))
[14:13] arynwyn: (( being a doctor and all. ))
[14:13] arynwyn: (( Ugh, I know. That kind of turned me off to RPing her. ))
[14:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((flaws make characters interesting.))
[14:14] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[14:15] arynwyn: (( So, should I just have her show up at the door? >.> ))
[14:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm.  Maybe Rav sent her an invitation to come visit...a long time ago? And Mai was focusing on her training and is just now getting around to it?  I dunno if that's Mai-appropriate))
[14:16] arynwyn: (( Uhm. If she had training to see to, like her superiors wouldn't let her go, then yeah. ))
[14:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So that way it's still sort of a surprise :D ...argh. bad fingers.  
 Fingers: That's right, don't blame the brain, it's always OUR fault.))
[14:17] arynwyn: (( okies. <giggle> ))
[14:19] arynwyn: Mai: <walks up the steps to the manor, rather wide-eyed, and knocks on the door gently>
[14:19] arynwyn: (( <offers chocolate chip eggo waffles> ))
[14:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <a butler answers the door> Yes, ma'am? <he asks politely>
 
 ((Ooo! :3 Nummies!))
[14:20] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Hello. I'm sorry to be a bother, but I'm looking for the <glances down at a paper> Amir'tor manor. 
[14:21] Chaos Angel Sox: <The butler nods> And you have found it.  How may we be of service, Miss....? <fishing for her name>
[14:21] arynwyn:  Mai: Mairen Truedawn. I'm looking for my sister Suravi.
[14:23] arynwyn: (( Does Mai know that they are legally married? Oh, I'd assume so, since Rav moved in... ))
[14:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <the butler smiles and gestures for her to come in> Oh, of course!  Our mistress's sister.  I do see a resemblance.  Do come in, and I'll take you to her.  
[14:23] arynwyn: Mai: <steps inside and looks around, stifling a gasp of awe> Thank you. 
[14:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<chuckles> I'd assume Rav wrote her about the developments...though not with terrible much detail about Ren's illness, the whole Path of the Sacred Light thing or stuff like that))
[14:24] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[14:24] arynwyn: (( mmm... now that my hunger and blood sugar is sated... ))
[14:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <the butler butles off> This way, please, Miss Truedawn.  She's in the gardens with Mina.
 
 ((though Mina can be running around somewhere if you want so you don't have to RP her much if you don't wanna))
[14:25] arynwyn: (( *are ))
[14:25] arynwyn: (( Butles.  <LOL> ))
[14:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((...are you getting sleepy after eating? >.>))
[14:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((butles!))
[14:26] arynwyn: (( nope. ))
[14:26] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and follows, thinking Gardens! My sister has gardens. I'm so jealous!>
[14:26] arynwyn: (( I didnt' eat that much, ))
[14:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh good))
[14:27] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[14:29] Chaos Angel Sox: <he bows as they emerge into the sunlight outside again> Ma'am, your sister is here.
 Rav: <sitting on a bench, wearing a very simply cut dress - but made of silk; she looks up and a smile breaks out> Mai!! <runs over to hug her>Mairen, finally!!! 
[14:31] arynwyn: Mai: Suravi! <hugs her very tightly, her eyes misting over> I missed you so much. <backs up until Rav is at arms length away, her hands on her shoulders> But look at you! You look... beautiful! Silk! And this place! <looks around at the garden> It's better than you described! Gardens!! You have gardens!!
 Mina: <runs around a hedge and then comes to a screeching halt when she sees Mai. her eyes bug out and she scoots over to hide behind Rav>
[14:32] arynwyn: (( 'cause she's too cute NOT to RP. ^^ ))
[14:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay!))
[14:33] arynwyn: (( <facepalm> I've been taking this sinus headache and allergy med once every 24 hours 'cause I thought the box said once every 12 hours... and I look again, it says to take once every FOUR hours. >.< ))
[14:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <chuckles> Well, they're not really MINE...I didn't do anything to create them, and I don't do any work to keep them up.  I just watch Mina tear through them most of the time <as Mina ducks behind her; she sort of cranes her head around to look at the little girl> Mina, honey, it's okay.  This is my sister, Mairen.  She's nice, I promise.  Just don't steal her cookies. <giggles>
[14:35] Chaos Angel Sox: (( silly you are ))
[14:39] arynwyn: Mina: <peeks out at Mai> You have a sister, Lady Rav?
 Mai: <kneels down to eye-level> Hello Mina. Yes, I am Lady <quick glance up and grin to Rav> Rav's sister. You can call me Mai, if you'd like. And I won't steal your cookies if you don't steal mine. <grins and winks at Mina>
 Mina: <giggles and nods>
 Mai: <stands back up and hugs her sister again> I'm sorry it took me so long to get here. The magis of the city have kept me busy training. I wanted to leave sooner but they wouldn't let me until now. <sheepish smile>
[14:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Sounds familiar, Mai.  Why is it everyone thinks that in order to train, we have to cut ourselves away from those we love?  But I'm glad you're here now.  I've missed you so much!  <smiles> You got my letters at least, yes?
[14:41] arynwyn: <oh, and Mai is thinner than she has ever been, but not terribly thin>
[14:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O))
[14:43] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Yes, they were wonderful. You have such a fairytale life. <looking around again> And a Prince Charming! <giggles> ...Monty ran off. I haven't seen him in... ages. He just left, without even a goodbye. <sigh> Training has been the only thing to keep me sane, honestly. What with you gone, and Taena staying at the Blood Knight training center. <shrugs a little> It's been lonely. 
[14:43] arynwyn: (( from the bloodthistle, and from training so hard ))
[14:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Oh Light, Mai, I'm so sorry.  C'mon why don't we get you something to drink, maybe a snack? <looking her up and down briefly> 
[14:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat on head))
[14:47] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> A drink would be wonderful. Is there, perhaps, somewhere I could... freshen up? 
[14:47] arynwyn: (( <giggles and pets Murphy> ))
[14:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Of course.  The staff's probably started getting you a room ready; they're so thoughtful.  <puts an arm around her shoulder and leads her back inside> What would you like? Water? Lemonade? Wine?  ((Rum & coke and spiral mac?))
[14:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shares Starbursts>))
[14:49] arynwyn: (( <laugh> oooo, starburst! <munch> ))
[14:50] arynwyn: Mai: <follows, smiling still, looking around in admiration> Wine, I think, please. (( Oh, and Mairen never used to drink wine. >.> ))
[14:50] arynwyn: *replace with a more certain: Wine, please.
[14:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: If you like. <smiles faintly as they head into the kitchens>  Is white okay?  Most of the rest is in the cellar and I don't like going down there alone. <sheepishly>
[14:54] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> That sounds fine. <she follows> So, Mina is adorable. There are two others, correct? Two older boys?
[14:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <she pulls a bottle of white wine out and heads to a cabinet for some glasses> Yes, Trent and Heath.  They're quite the gentlemen...for their ages. <laughs lightly>  They're with their tutors right now though.  <she pours a glass full and offers it to Mai> You'll meet them later. You are staying with us for awhile, yes?
[14:59] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> My superiors gave me leave until I see fit. I suppose I'll stay until you kick me out. <she takes a long drink from the wine (almost half the glass), then sets it down> And tell me about your husband. I'm allowed to call him that, yes?
[15:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blushes lightly> We are married...though we'd like to do it over again, properly.  In which case, you'll have to be my maid of honor, Mai. <smiles and pats Mai's hand>
[15:02] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes> Me? Really? What about Taena? She's older... <takes another drink of the wine> I mean, I'd be honored. <laughs a little> Do you have a date?
[15:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: She'll still be a bridesmaid, if we can pull her away from the Order. <smiles> But I want you for my maid of honor.  As for the date, well...we're still trying to figure it out.  Sometimes it seems like we should just hurry and sometimes it seems like there's no rush.
[15:04] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and looks around> I can't see why there'd be a rush, since you are legally married. <shrugs a little and drains her glass> Is there a bathroom I could use? <standing>
[15:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Of course, right through there...second door on the right.  <she smiles and sips her wine>  When you come back, we'll go upstairs and see who's around to introduce you to and if your room's ready.
[15:07] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and heads to where she instructed, a small pouch in one hand. she steps into the bathroom and closes the door, pulling the pouch open and stuffing some bloodthistle in her mouth. she savors the taste and feels its power surge through her for a few minutes (longer than a normal bathroom trip), then closes the pouch again and returns to her sister>
[15:08] arynwyn: <oh, and when she returns, her eyes are glowing extra green>
[15:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <she looks up at Mai and blinks, then smiles faintly> Oh, good.  I was starting to worry, Mai.  Umm...the room should be ready.  I realized Cyla and Brennan are probably both still asleep; they're sort of night owls.  But dinner's not far, and you can meet them then...
[15:12] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> That sounds fine. <looks from whence she came> Will a <feels strange asking> butler take me? 
[15:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <laughs> Not unless you thought he was cute, though I'd think he was kind of old for you, silly.  C'mon, this way...<gestures towards the stairs, smiling>
[15:14] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes> I didn't mean that. I just don't know how these things work. I mean, you're a *Lady* now. I'm still me. <heads toward the stairs>
[15:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Mai, I'm still your sister.  I'm a "Lady" only because Thandren has this hereditary rank, and I married him.  That's all.
[15:18] arynwyn: Mai: Mmh, that's just what you'd say. <grin> But I see the silk dress you're wearing as you sit out in your garden. <she looks down at her simple cotton dress> I feel like a pauper.
[15:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <frowns> It's...it's just circumstance.  Do you need help?  You only have to ask, Mai; you know I'll always help you. <stops going up the stairs to hug her sister>
 
 ((cat on head...))
[15:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops gone.))
[15:22] arynwyn: Mai: <returns the hug> No, I'm doing fine. I'm paid rather well for my standing at the Spire. They say I show "great potential" and that "I do what is necessary to get ahead" or something like that. <smiles> I don't need handouts.
[15:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Well, I'm glad to hear everything's going well. <faint smile> I'm sure you'll have gardens of your own someday soon. <takes Mai's hand and leads her upstairs>
[15:25] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles lightly> That I doubt, Suravi. <continues up the steps> Mages give more than they receive. The only way for me to get where you are is to marry into it. And I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.
[15:25] arynwyn: (( she is, indeed, hurting for money. but she's not going to admit it. >.> ))
[15:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Well, you never know, Mai.  I certainly didn't expect it to happen to me. <chuckes> You know I met Thandren at the library?  We were looking for the same book.
[15:27] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and says sarcastically, though playfully> How romantic. Unless it was "Twenty Tales of Love and Lust"? <giggles>
[15:27] arynwyn: *Unless the book was...
[15:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blushes> Mai!  It was not! <the servants come out of a bedroom, bow and bustle off>  Oh here we go.  <smiles> Did you bring anything with you?
[15:30] arynwyn: Mai: I brought one bag; the butler took it when I came in. I assume it's in my room. <steps inside and spots it> Yes, it's here. <she looks around the room> Well, at least I'll get to enjoy a little luxury while I'm here. This place is amazing...
[15:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I'll make sure you have everything you need while you're here with us, Mai...and I have no intention of kicking you out.  You're my sister.  We should be together.  That's what family does. <she smiles>
[15:33] arynwyn: Mai: <sits on the bed> You have a new family now, Suravi. A husband, children. I am your sister, yes, but sisters do not live together when one is married. I won't overstay my welcome, I assure you. I thought perhaps I'd stay a week, no more.
[15:34] arynwyn: (( Tim's home. O_o ))
[15:35] arynwyn: (( oh, just grabbing stuffs. ))
[15:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <she frowns> You're welcome for as long as you want though, Mai.  You know that.
[15:36] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little> Thank you. 
[15:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: You're welcome.  You're very very welcome.  <hugs her sister as she sits next to her>  I love you, Mairen.
[15:38] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs back> I love you too, Suravi. And I'm happy for you, happy that you were lucky enough to find love and all of this. <motions to the luxury of the room> But tell me, what happened to the Temple?
[15:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <shifts> I failed the Trials, because I was told that to pass, to become a full-fledged priestess of Silvermoon, I had to give up love.  I couldn't do that.  But I don't need a silly title or to be official in the eyes of the city to help people.
[15:41] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods, jealous beyond words. she looks away> You are happy here, right? Without the Temple and all of that?
[15:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods and smiles> Of course.  I love Thandren, and the children.  I could be happy anywhere with them...and with knowing that you and Taena are happy too.
[15:44] arynwyn: Mai: <And if we're not?; she smiles> Good. Then I can rest easy knowing that.
[15:45] arynwyn: (( Brb, need to throw in some laundry. ))
[15:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk :D ))
[15:48] arynwyn: (( back ))
[15:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((front!))
[15:48] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[15:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O))
[15:49] arynwyn: (( Are we FFing? ))
[15:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((to...dinner? or something else?))
[15:50] arynwyn: (( Sure. And shall I go ahead and say Ren got a letter offering him the Chief Warlock position? ))
[15:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Shore ^_^   oo, brb needs to piddle))
[15:50] arynwyn: ( okies. )0
[15:50] arynwyn: ))
[15:52] arynwyn: (( Mairen will be "resting" before dinner. ))
[15:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <knocks on Mai's door> Mairen? You ready for dinner, sis? 
[15:54] arynwyn: Mai: <quickly spits out her bloodthistle and hides the pouch, then wipes at her mouth. she steps over to the door and pulls it open, smiling. her eyes are glowing *very* brightly and there's a little piece of green something stuck in her teeth...> Yeah, dinner sounds great.
[15:55] arynwyn: (( We'll say Ren tells Rav about the letter after dinner. ))
[15:55] arynwyn: (( Do you want to RP it? ))
[15:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...um, you might want to stop by the bathroom on your way down?  Just to...double-check?  <smile>
 
 ((sure))
[15:56] arynwyn: Mai
[15:56] arynwyn: (( grr  ))
[15:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs and huggles>))
[15:57] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks and nods> Uhm, okay... <she steps out of the room and heads to the bathroom, looking in the mirror. she spots the leaf and swears quietly, picking it out with a fingernail. she then heads downstairs to the dining room>
[15:57] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Stupid fingers! >.> ))
[16:00] arynwyn: (( Hehe, read my Sims away message. ))
Session Close (arynwyn): Tue Oct 16 16:00:51 2007


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Tue Oct 16 16:00:54 2007
[16:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay))
[16:00] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Playin' God. Er, I mean... playin' Sims. <nodnod> That's it. <cough> Send me a message and I'll reply, it'll just take me a minute.
[16:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs>))
[16:01] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[16:01] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[16:01] arynwyn: (( sorry, screwing around. ))
[16:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles as her sister approaches the dining room; she's waiting just outside the door for her> You look very nice.  C'mon, I'm sure everyone's anxious to meet you. <holding the dining room door open for her>
[16:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh, it's okay ^_^ ))
[16:03] arynwyn: Mai: <steps in nervously, looking around and giving a small smile. she leans back to whisper> Everyone is dressed up. I didn't change. You didn't tell me I should change. 
[16:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: You look fine, Mai!! Stop worrying. <addressing the room> Everyone, this is my sister, Mairen.  <she conducts the necessary introductions, starting with the children, Brennan and Cyla, and ending with>...and this, of course, is my husband <slight blush>, Thandren.  ((I'm being lazy here ^_^))
 Cyla: <smiles and nods at the newcomer>
 
[16:05] arynwyn: (( hehe, lazy is awesome. ))
[16:07] arynwyn: Mai: <nods to each and winks at Mina> It's a pleasure to meet you all, really. <she bows to Thandren> And thank you, sir, for your hospitality. 
 Ren: <smiles and nods to her> It's an honor to have you with us, Mairen. Please, call me Thandren.
 Bren: <nods as well, looking her over and noting her eyes. he leans over to Cyla to whisper> Enora would have a hay-day with her. She's thinner than I am.
[16:07] arynwyn: (( Bleh, children... ))
[16:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh.))
[16:09] arynwyn: Mina: <waves and smiles> 
 Heath: <nods to her and mumbles "pleasure" as he should>
 Trent: <also nods, but eyes her over, smiling faintly, admiring her>
[16:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <nods quietly at Bren's whisper>
 <a servant pulls a chair out for Mai near Rav's seat>
 Rav: <sits down near Thandren> Now if only we could pull Taena, our other sister, away.  But she's always been so serious-minded...I don't know if it'll happen.
 
 ((Awwww, does Trent think she's pretty?))
[16:11] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Yep. ))
[16:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Trent's got a cruuuussshhh!))
[16:14] arynwyn: Mai: <thanks the servant and sits down in the chair, pulling the napkin into her lap and fidgeting with it nervously> Yes, I haven't seen her in weeks. Nor have I gotten a letter. Have you heard from her recently?
 Ren: I hope she'll be coming to the wedding. <drinks some wine and smiles at Rav>
 <the others begin to eat quietly, Trent glancing up occasionally to steal a look at Mair>
[16:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <shakes her head> No.  I send letters, but...no reply.  I trust the Knighthood would notify us if something had happened to her.
 Cyla: I'd think they would.
[16:18] arynwyn: Ren: <nods> Yes, I'm sure they would as well. I can inquire, if you two are worried. It'd be no trouble at all.
 Mai: Oh, I don't think that's necessary. Taena has always been rather independent. I was just a little surprised, though, that she left like she did. She always had a mother complex with me. <chuckles softly and takes a long drink of wine>
 Trent: <mimics her and takes a long drink of his... juice>
 Bren: <smiles over at Cyla and takes her hand under the table>
[16:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <smiles and squeezes Bren's hand>
 Rav: It's true.  She was so protective...but honestly, it's probably for the best she's eased off.  She was sort of...overzealous about it sometimes.  You should be free to live the life you want. <smiles and pops a bite into her mouth>
[16:20] arynwyn: (( Dun dun dun! Rav loses her power to help her sister; she gives Mai the ring to help with her magic addiction. What do you think? ))
[16:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooo.  Sounds like something Rav would do.))
[16:22] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> I suppose. But I lost both of you at once. If it weren't for the magisters at the Spire, I don't know what I'd do.
 Bren: <frowns as he hears "magisters at the Spire" but doesn't say anything, and continues to eat>
 Ren: Well, you are welcome to stay as long as you'd like, as I'm sure Suravi has told you. <begins to eat slowly>
[16:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((though wouldn't giving up the ring just mean that she'd have to start fighting off her addiction on her own again?  she was already going without before she had the ring))
 Rav: I'm sorry, Mai.  Oh, Light, I'm so sorry.  <leans over in her chair to hug her sister>
 Cyla: So you're a mage then, Miss Mairen?
[16:24] arynwyn: (( who, Rav or Mair? ))
[16:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Rav.))
[16:26] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and pats Rav's back> Nothing to be sorry, Suravi. I'm happy for you. Really. <to Cyla> Yes, I am. And please, just Mairen. 
[16:26] arynwyn: (( Uhm... I suppose so, yes. As long as she kept the addiction at bay, then she'd have the power. ))
[16:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((still, it becomes a fight again, rather than just the way things are.))
 Cyla: I used to want to be a mage, after I saw a demonstration the Spire gave when I was a kid.  Can you really turn people into farm animals?
 Rav: <giggles a little>
[16:29] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> Yes, I can turn someone into a sheep or a pig. It's quite amusing, really. 
 Mina: <goes wide-eyed and hops out of her seat> Turn me into a sheep! Please? Please?! I wanna be a sheep!
 Ren: Mina. We're eating dinner. <trying to look stern though he's grinning>
[16:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Well you'd certainly eat more greens then...sit back down, sweetie.
 Cyla: Is it safe to turn children into other things? <glances at the doc>
 
[16:32] arynwyn: Mina: <goes all sulky, but sits and pokes at her food>
 Bren: <shrugs a little> I don't see how it would harm them, as long as it's only for a short time. 
 Trent: <watching Mair in awe> 
[16:33] arynwyn: Mai: <has fallen quiet. she looks a little pale and her eyes have lost the bright glow they had when she came in. she pokes at her food, having only eaten a few bites, and finishes off her glass of wine>
[16:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <chuckles and eats her food> I can think of a few people to turn into pigs...
 Rav: How's your dinner, sis? 
[16:35] arynwyn: Mai; <looks up and smiles> It's excellent. <shifts uncomfortably> I'm just not used to eating much, I'm afraid.
 Bren: <is watching her closely, but chuckles a little at Cy>
[16:35] arynwyn: *watching Mair
[16:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: You're feeling okay though, yes? <looks at her sister in concern>
 Cyla: <squeezes Bren's hand again>
[16:38] arynwyn: Bren: <returns the squeeze>
 Mai: Yes, Mother, I'm fine. <grin> Just a little tired, I think. No need to worry about me.
 Ren: Feel free to rest after dinner. <turns to Suravi> Oh, that reminds me. I need to speak with you in the study after we finish. I received an... interesting... letter today.
[16:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blinks at the "Mother" comment> ...if you're sure...<turns her attention to Ren> Oh, of course. <quick smile and resumes eating, her eyes darting to Mai worriedly>
 Cyla: ...um, so probably best to wait on turning people into animals for another day then, hm?  I mean, you just got here and all; it's understandable you'd be tired.
[16:42] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles> I'm sure I could manage casting the spell a few times. <eager gleam in her eyes> I love magic. <glances over at Bren who's giving her a *very* peculiar look> I mean... I love being a mage and such. <clears her throat> The spells are very powerful.
 Bren: <does, indeed, give her a long look when she says "I love magic">
[16:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <wonders why the doc's lookin' at the new girl funny as she chews her food>
 Rav: <drinks a little and looks at the children's plates> Just a couple more bites of vegetables, Mina, please?  <eats some of the remaining food off her own plate>
[16:45] arynwyn: Mina
[16:47] arynwyn: Mina: <glares at her plate, but shovels in exactly two more, small, bites>
 Bren: <tries to give Cyla a reassuring smile, then continues to eat>
 Mai: <weakening by the minute> On second thought, perhaps tomorrow. I'm feeling rather tired all of the sudden. I think perhaps I should go lie (lay?) down. 
[16:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <looks very concerned but she nods> ...of course.
 Cyla: You might here me tromping about upstairs, but I'll try to patrol quietly for you.
[16:52] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head and stands> I doubt I'll hear you. <she nods to everyone and bows to Ren again before hugging her sister> Thank you for dinner. <slips out of the room quietly. she goes back to her room to nurse more bloodthistle>
 Bren: <watches her go, his brows furrowed, then finishes off his wine and food>
 Ren: <squeezes Rav's shoulder> I'm sure she's fine, my dear. She's probably just tired. 
 Trent: <watches her go, checking out her ass, then pokes at the last few bites on his plate, daydreaming>
[16:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry workin' on zee spiral mac))
[16:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((one day I'll eat something else...really))
[16:54] arynwyn: (( no worries. =P ))
[16:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh at Trent>))
 Cyla: <pokes Bren in the side and shoots him a "what's up?" look>
 Rav: I hope so.  <drinks more of her wine>
[16:57] arynwyn: Bren: <leans in close to whisper> She shows the classic signs of magic addiction. Serious magic addiction. <gives her a sad look, glancing over at Rav. he squeezes Cy's hand again>
 Ren: <sighs and finishes his food, then stands> I'll be in my study. Come whenever you are ready to talk. <he kisses her head gently and leaves>
[16:57] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23415700.html#cutid1)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23415700.html#c(Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23415700.html#cutid1)utid1 o_O ))

[17:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((damnit. :P ))
[17:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((drat!  how come all the ones I want to show you are locked?! >_< ))
[17:03] arynwyn: (( =( ))
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Here are the prize winners for me (she works in a doc's office): 
 
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: 6.  Make racist/sexist/ageist/ableist/etc. comments whenever you can.  (No, "fags" are not the only ones who get HIV, and no, men are not the only ones who can be doctors.  No, I am not married to my boss, and NO I am not sleeping with him.  Do not pass Go.  Do not collect two hundred dollars.) 
 7.  I'll just quote this one, because it sealed the deal for me:  "I don't do housework.  Why take work away from the women?  Your husband had better start teaching you better!"   
 (I love that I actually get to say things out loud now that I would have bitten my tongue off not saying in retail--I actually snapped back "If he said something that ignorant to me, he wouldn't be my husband for very long".  And silence reigned.) ))
[17:04] arynwyn: (( NICE ))
[17:06] arynwyn: (( S'my daddy's 60th birthday today! O_o ))
[17:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((OH! Happy Birthday, Daddy of Sarah! ^_^ ))
[17:06] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[17:07] arynwyn: (( you saw my post, yes? ))
[17:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah, just been busy shovelling food into my mouth, sorry ^_^ ))
[17:08] arynwyn: (( <laugh> No worries. Take your time. I just wanted to make sure. I know once before it didn't go through, so... ))
[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods and works on finishing off her dinner>
 Cyla: Uh oh <she responds quietly> 's not good.  Think you should tell the Lady?
[17:10] arynwyn: Bren: <sighs quietly and nods> I should. I'll talk to her after Thandren speaks with her. I hope he gives her good news. 
 <the children finish, then file off to take baths before bed>
[17:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Cy: <kisses his cheek> Good idea, lover-boy.
 Rav: <folds her napkin and rises to go to Ren's study; she knows the way pretty well by now, which is good, since her mind is on her sister>
[17:13] arynwyn: Bren: <grins and strokes her cheek. after Rav leaves, he leans in to kiss Cy deeply>
 
[17:13] arynwyn: (( grr ))
[17:14] arynwyn: Ren: <is sitting at his desk in the study, reading the letter over. he looks up as Rav comes in, standing and going over to hug her tightly> Are you alright?
[17:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I'm just worried about Mairen.  I'm sure you're right, and she's just tired.  If I'd known she wanted to visit, I could've asked the driver to go pick her up...<sighs then smiles faintly at Ren> So what about this letter you got, hm?  I hope it's good news.
 
 Cyla: <kisses back, then stands> C'mon, you.  I'm going to do a perimeter sweep outside; care to join me? It's a nice night for a walk.
[17:17] arynwyn: Ren: <stroks her hair back, then hands her the letter> They want me to be Chief Warlock of Silvermoon City. <leans against his desk and waits for her reaction>
 
 Bren: <stands as well> Of course. <he takes her hand and leads the way out of the room and to the front door>
[17:18] arynwyn: *strokes
[17:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <as they walk outside> Did you notice Trent at dinner? <giggles>
 
 Rav: Really? <blinks, wide-eyed in shock; she looks down at the letter> Oh Light...that's incredible! <she smiles up at him>
[17:20] arynwyn: Bren: <raises an eyebrow> I'm afraid I was too focused on Mairen. What was he doing?
[17:20] arynwyn: (( GRR ))
[17:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles and chocolate>))
[17:22] arynwyn: Ren: <runs a hand through his hair> Is it? <sighs a little> I've already had an attempt on my life because of my standing. Being Chief Warlock will only increase my power and perceived threat. <walks over to the fireplace and looks up at the painting of his father over the mantle> But I can't really say no, now can I? The Regent Lord himself put in a good word for me. You did, afterall, save his life.
[17:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <her smile fades> You should do what you want, Thandren.  <walks up behind him and rests a hand on his shoulder> If it won't make you happy, turn it down graciously.
 
 Cyla: Staring at Mairen all moon-eyed and loopy.  <giggles again> He's growing up...
[17:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Still one of my favorite lines from any of my stuff ever: "Why would you want to run away from such a place? Respect and admiration dribble from people's mouths like coins from a fool's pockets when they speak of it." ))
[17:25] arynwyn: Ren: <turns to look at her> I'd have to be a fool to turn it down. I just wish I knew that no one would try to hurt you or the children.... or me. <hugs her tightly, holding her close>
 
 Bren: <grins> Oh really? Well, you're far prettier. <leans in to kiss her gently>
[17:26] arynwyn: (( oooooooooooooooo, COOL ))
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <laughs> You'd better think so, buster, or you're about to be very lonely.  <grins at him and snuggles up next to him as they walk, despite the fact that she's supposedly "patrolling">
 
 Rav: <snuggles contentedly into his arms> We do have a bodyguard now.  And the Light looks after us.  We'll be okay, no matter what you decide, darling.
[17:30] arynwyn: Bren: <wraps his arm around her and kisses her temple, saying softly> You know I love you, Cyla. <nuzzles her hair>
 
 Ren: <nods slowly> Then I will accept. Thank you, Suravi. <kisses her deeply>
[17:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh this is the story with the character I named Ketheniel after...kind of.  His name isn't a direct theft - this chara's name is just Ket.  But still...))
[17:32] arynwyn: (( cool ))
[17:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <returns the kiss encouragingly> I just want you to be happy.  <snuggle>
 
 Cyla: <smiles> Awww, thanks, doc.  Right back atcha.  You know I was just teasing you. <tickles his side lightly>
[17:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keth, you were named after a bisexual, emotionally starved boy who ends up being vampire bait.  Aren't you happy?
 Keth: (whose color I've forgotten) ...ecstatic.  Really. o_O ))
[17:35] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles down at her> And I want you happy. I think I will pen a reply, then head to bed. Are you going to check on your sister?
 
 Bren: <stops and looks down at her> Really? <clears his throat> You've never replied with anything before. <squeezes her tightly>
[17:35] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Sounds like a story I'd like. :-D ))
[17:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Maybe I'll get back to work on it at some point then... >.> ))
 Cyla: <smiles at him> yeah, well...I...the actual words are kind of hard for me to say.  Doesn't mean it isn't true, doc.  Maybe it's silly but...the last time I said...those three words, things kind of went wrong for me.  So...<shrugs weakly> I know it's a stupid superstition, but...
 
 Rav: <nods> Just quickly....<sighs> for my own peace of mind at least.
[17:39] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "What is your name?" rang the suddenly stentorian voice of the master of the Dark Castle.  The echo of the audience chamber seemed hardly muffled by the tapestries and the crowd assembled. 
      He felt obliged to answer, but that very feeling sent a warning through his mind.  "Why does my name matter?" 
      The man seated at the desk shot him the look of a long-suffering teacher with a particularly slow-witted student.  "Because if you do not tell Me your name, I shall make one up for you.  You will not like it." 
      "That doesn't answer my question.  It is the consequence of my not answering, but it does not tell me why my name is important to you.  In fact, by replying with such a consequence, it would seem to suggest that my name is not important at all; merely a convenience." 
      The assembled eyes glanced curiously at their lord, who responded with a chuckle.  "I suppose that's really all it is.  After all, you're far more likely to respond to the name you've been called your whole life than to one given to you in the next few minutes.  So yes, it is a convenience.  The consequence stands.  Will you tell Me your name or do I create a suitably humiliating substitute?  The last pet I had ended up with the name 'Potlicker.'" 
 ))
[17:40] arynwyn: Bren: <puts a finger to her lips, grinning and leaning down to kiss her> You don't have to say those words if you don't want to. I just had begun to wonder if... if I was alone in feeling the way I do. But if I'm not, then I'm happy. <he leads them back toward the house, smiling> We should go in before you get too cold. And I should find Suravi before she goes to bed. 
 
 Ren: <nods and kisses her quickly> She'll be fine. I'll be in to bed in a bit. <touches her cheek, then lets her go, heading back over to his desk to write the letter>
[17:41] arynwyn: (( oooooooooooooooooo. wow. I wanna read the whole thing! :-D ))
[17:41] arynwyn: (( <winning smile> ))
[17:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles faintly and ducks out to go to Mai's room, tapping lightly on the door> Is everything okay, Mai?  You don't need anything, do you?
 
 Cyla: I don't get cold as easily as you do, doc.  Get some fat on you and maybe you'll survive better... <poking at him lightly in different spots, then runs for the door before he can catch her>
[17:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I haven't even finished the first chapter.  This series was concocted as a means for me to get used to writing sex scenes again (particularly homosexual ones, since I used to write a lot of guy/guy fanfic, but there's some heterosexual activity in it, though not full on intercourse...hard to explain).  Anyways, I got stuck again trying to write it.  ~_~; ))
[17:44] arynwyn: Mai: <finishes off the mana potion she had been drinking, hiding the bottle and wiping her mouth. she pulls the door open, attempting to look like she was asleep, but doesn't pull it off very well> Mmh, I'm fine. <smile>
 
 Bren: <laughs and chases after her, catching her in the front hall and tickling her before giving her a final kiss> See you at dawn? <grins and runs a thumb down her neck>
[17:44] arynwyn: (( Aww. Well, if you want some feedback... >.> ))
[17:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Also, as an additional challenge: trying to write a vampire story where the word "vampire" is never used... ^_^ ))
[17:44] arynwyn: (( <laugh> NICE ))
[17:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <stifles her giggles as she's tickled> You bet. <kissing him again> Go on.  I have serious work to do and you're impeding me. <grins>
 
 Rav: If you need an extra blanket or something, don't hesitate to ask the servants or Cyla, or me...anyone, really.  If you feel sick, you can get Brennan; he's an excellent doctor.  And of course, Cyla and I can heal...if something more is wrong...
[17:48] arynwyn: Bren: <chuckles and lets her go, then sobers up> Wish me luck with Suravi... <sighs and heads off to find her>
 
 Mai: Suravi, I'm fine! <said much more harshly than she meant it. she winces> I... I'm sorry, that didn't come out right. <sighs> 
[17:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...I'm not trying to....to be Taena.  Or to replace Mother.  No one could do that.  But...you seem so distant sometimes, I can't help but worry.  
 
 Cyla: Good luck! <she calls after him, then starts doing a quick check downstairs before she heads up to do her usual patrol of the hallway>
[17:53] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> You don't need to worry about me, really. You have your own life to deal with. A husband, three children, this household. I can look after myself, I assure you. 
 
 Bren: <stops a few doors down from Rav and Mai and leans against the wall, listening and waiting for Rav to finish>
[17:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I don't doubt that, Mai, but...everyone needs help sometimes.  I'm just letting you know that...if you ever do need help, we're here for you.  Okay?
[17:55] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Okay. I'm going to bed now. <gives her sister a quick hug and then shuts (and locks) the door>
 
 Bren: <clears his throat quietly>
[17:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and there's that sentence again where it just stops in the middle. >.>  blarghle.))
 
 Rav: <sighs as she hears the lock click, then looks up quickly when she hears the throat clearing.  She walks towards the sound's source> Brennan? Is that you?
[17:57] arynwyn: (( middle? ))
[17:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((in the story.))
[17:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I got stuck on which word for "penis" I wanted to use. <laughs>))
[17:57] arynwyn: Bren: <nods> I'm sorry if I startled you. I would like to speak with you, if you have a moment.
[17:57] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[17:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I need a dirty thesaurus...if one exists...))
 
 Rav: <nods> Of course, Brennan.  Umm...your room, I suppose?
[17:58] arynwyn: Bren: <shifts a little, thinking it improper to take her into his room> Perhaps the library instead
[17:58] arynwyn: ?
[17:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods> Certainly.
[17:59] arynwyn: Bren: <leads the way into the library, holding the door open for her and then shutting it quietly> It's about your sister, actually.
[18:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe should be up soon; there's a showing of Eastern Promises in an hour and 40 minutes we might try to catch))
[18:00] arynwyn: (( okies. I'll sleep when you go. <yawn> ))
[18:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Poor Sarahkins <snugs>  Do you want me to send you the chapter-that-stops-in-the-middle-of-a-sentence anyway?))
 
 Rav: About Mairen?  What is it? <frowns in concern>
[18:01] arynwyn: (( Yes! ))
[18:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ack! w/ an ! no less...<giggles> okee...))
[18:02] arynwyn: Bren: <nods and sighs> I'm not an expert, but I am a doctor, and I have seen it before. <runs a hand through his hair> And there's no easy way to say this, really. <looks up at her> Has she always acted this way? Moody? Evasive? Have her eyes always brightened and faded like that?
[18:02] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[18:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sent. ^_^))
[18:03] arynwyn: (( woo! thanks! ))
[18:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <shakes her head> No.  She's usually happy, cheerful...pouty when she doesn't get her way.  She doesn't like being told what to do, but...this isn't like her at all.
[18:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You're welcome.  Having people pester me to write is about the only it'll get done... >.> ))
[18:05] arynwyn: Bren: <nods> I thought as much. Suravi, she's showing signs of a serious magic addiction. And I know for a fact, from a friend who used to be a mage at the Spire, that they push Bloodthistle on the mages, saying it enhances their magic. Which it does,  but at a terrible price. <he sighs again and watches her>
[18:05] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> Ditto. ))
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh so I should pester you to send me stuff to read then? <grins>))
 
 Rav: ...oh Light.  You don't think...will she end up...Wretched? <she looks...drained.  Like some of the life just got sucked out of her suddenly at hearing the news>
[18:07] arynwyn: (( Heh, if I had anything to send. >.< ))
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh right you do yours in notebooks, right?))
[18:08] arynwyn: Bren: If it is left untreated, yes. That is the end result of magic addiction. <he puts a hand on her shoulder to steady her>
[18:08] arynwyn: (( Well, generally, but I don't even have any of that anymore. I've pretty much deleted or thrown away all my writings. Though I may have a couple of things from my creative writing class... I'll look around for it. ))
[18:10] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; ))
[18:10] arynwyn: (( Heh, I've decided in Nov I'm doing NaNoWriMo. ^^ ))
[18:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <looks like she might pass out; her eyes dart about as if the answer to the problem were somewhere in the room, if she can find it - and find it quickly>
 
 ((Wheee!! I'll do it too then.  :)  they have a website for support and such if you want))
[18:11] arynwyn: (( Yes! Nice! ))
[18:11] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/)(Link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/)http://www.nanowrimo.org/ ))
[18:13] arynwyn: Bren: <leads her to a chair and helps her sit> Suravi, I will do what I can to help her. I promise you. Do you want me to get Thandren?
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: (( You have to register to access certain parts of the site, but it's free and all they do is send newsletters and encouragement to your inbox ))
[18:14] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[18:14] arynwyn: (( did you register then? )0
[18:14] arynwyn: ))
[18:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...<works on breathing> No, I...I can...<looks at him> Light, Brennan, what do we do?  Conquering our race's natural addiction was hard enough.....
[18:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah, a couple of years ago.  I had to have them email me my password though ^_^; ))
[18:18] arynwyn: Bren: Do you think she has any Bloodthistle with her? If she does, we should try and get it away from her. As well as any other sources of magic or mana... <paces, thinking> She's going to deny she has a problem. We have to get her to see that she does, that's the first step. Only then can she fight it. 
[18:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods weakly> She...might have something...she had something green in her teeth earlier.
[18:20] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/108249)(Link: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/108249)http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/108249 ))
[18:22] arynwyn: (( Sorry, ran to the bathroom. ))
[18:22] Chaos Angel Sox: (( is okay :D ))
[18:24] arynwyn: Bren: <nods> Bloodthistle. <sighs> Suravi, she needs you to be strong. She needs you to, for lack of a better word, mother her. She's going to fight it, but it's what she needs. Can you do that for her?
[18:24] arynwyn: (( can you add me as a buddy? arynwyn ))
[18:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I...I think so?  I'm still getting used to mothering the children, and they...don't have problems like this.
[18:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((lemme see...))
[18:25] arynwyn: Bren: Rely on Thandren. He can be your strength. It will be a chain, alright? We'll support each other, and support her in turn.
[18:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay, found you :3 ))
[18:26] arynwyn: (( woo! ))
[18:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You will be notified next time you log on it says :3 ))
[18:27] arynwyn: (( Cool, just added you too. ))
[18:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods> Thank you, Brennan.  I don't know that I could do this alone.
[18:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woot!))
[18:28] arynwyn: Bren: Of course. Let's go find Thandren. He should know so he can be there for you. <offers her a hand to help her up>
[18:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods again and accepts his hand up> He...was in his study but...he might have headed to bed by now...
[18:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hrm....supposedly the alarm went off half an hour ago....brb))
[18:29] arynwyn: Bren: <nods and starts out of the room, a hand on her arm to support her> We'll catch him. Or drag him out of bed. One or the other. <small smile> 
[18:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, I'd set the alarm for him at 6 AM instead of PM.  >.> good thing I double-checked.))
 
 Rav: <smiles faintly> You've been such a good friend to us, Brennan.  Thank you for all you've done.
[18:31] arynwyn: (( oops! >.< ))
[18:32] arynwyn: Bren: <pats her arm> It's the least I could do. <looks back at her> Thandren has never told you that story, hm? He's so modest, I swear. <chuckles as he leads you down the hall>
[18:32] arynwyn: *you =her
[18:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Neil Gaiman's doing Pep Talks during NaNoWriMo this year!! o_O We could get email from Neil Gaiman....<dies>))
[18:33] arynwyn: (( O_O ))
[18:33] arynwyn: (( Wow, that's COOL. ))
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Story? 
[18:34] arynwyn: Bren: Mmh. When we were children, he saved my life. I was a weak swimmer and we jumped into a river that was far too strong for me. He pulled me out, despite the danger to himself. It's one reason I became a doctor. <smile>
[18:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles also> That sounds like him.  I should punish him for not telling me that story though...
 
 ((getting kinky, are we, Rav?  Rav: <blush> I didn't mean...I was just....))
[18:36] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[18:38] arynwyn: Bren: <chuckles> He's modest. He doesn't want me to feel indebted to him, but I do. He's been a very good friend to me, and I work to return the favor. <they arrive at the study and he taps on the door> Thandren?
 Ren: Mmh? Come in. <he puts down his quill as they enter, looking up at them, then standing and going to Rav> What is it? <he looks worried>
[18:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <snuggles Ren fiercely, wrapping her arms around him tightly>...I...we...<sigh>...Brennan says Mairen...needs help.  She...she has a magic addiction.  I mean, aside from the usual one...
[18:43] arynwyn: Ren: <holds her close, then glances over at Bren> Is this true?
 Bren: <nods, his face somber> Yes, I believe she does.
 Ren: <holds Rav even tighter, kissing her head> I'm sorry, Suravi. We will get her the very best help, I assure you. Suravi, do you think you are ready to do an intervention now? Or do you want to wait? If she is addicted, then she will have things on her. Potions, bloodthistle, who knows what else...
[18:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods> I...she probably does, but...if she's sleeping...I mean, should we wake her? ...I don't know. <turns her face to his shoulder and says muffledly> I don't know what to do.
 
 ((be in and out whilst I put on non-nighclothes; didn't want to get dressed earlier for fear of waking the sleeping Joe))
[18:45] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[18:47] arynwyn: Ren: <sighs and strokes her hair> My opinion is the sooner the better, but if you wish to wait, then we will. We can... take the things from her in the morning. <whispers in her ear> My heart breaks for you, Suravi. <continues to hold her tightly>
[18:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: I...can we wait until morning?  Is that okay?  I don't know that...that I can do this now.
[18:49] arynwyn: Ren: <nods> Of course. Let's go to bed, shall we? <looks down at her, his eyes sad>
[18:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods against his shoulder and doesn't say anything>
[18:54] arynwyn: Ren: <nods to Bren, then stoops down to pick her up, then leaves the study and takes her to their room, setting her down in the bed> Do you want anything? Water? Wine? A back massage? <as he pulls off her shoes>
[18:54] arynwyn: Bren: <sighs and puts out the candles in the study, then searches out Cyla>
[18:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was fussing over bras and shirts))
[18:58] arynwyn: (( no worries. <giggle> ))
[19:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <shakes her head at each offering> Just...hold me.
 
 Cyla: <has begun her accustomed patrol up and down the hallways in shadow form>
[19:02] arynwyn: Ren: <kicks off his own shoes and climbs into bed next to her, pulling her close and holding her tightly. he strokes her hair and kisses her temples and forehead> We're going to get through this. She knows you love her. It will be hard and it will take time, but we'll pull her through. <nuzzle> I love you.
 
 Bren: <lets his eyes adjust, then looks down the hall until he finds her> Cyla...
[19:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: Awww, I was going to sneak tickle you.  What's up, doc? ((any chance I get to say it....))
 
 Rav: <snuggles into him again, burying her face once more.  She says through his chest> I love you too, Thandren.  I hope you're right. <as she clings to him>
[19:05] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[19:06] arynwyn: (( Okay, so... in shadow form, does that mean you're non-physical? Like, you're just shadows? Or can you be touched? ))
[19:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((...y'know I don't know...let me consult...<turning around> Oh, Jooooee.....? ))
[19:08] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[19:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe says they're "slightly less tangible.  They have a damage reduction against physical attacks."))
[19:08] arynwyn: (( So... can she be touched or no? ))
[19:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah I don't know how to interpret that for RP either....umm..."slightly less tangible"....maybe...certain parts of her are tangible and certain parts aren't, but it cycles?  Like one moment your hand is able to be touched and then the "tangible" part runs from your hand up your arm to your shoulder, etc. all around the body?  Only more than one part is tangible at a time....does that make any sort of sense?))
[19:11] arynwyn: (( Uhm, sure. =P ))
[19:11] arynwyn: Bren: Can you... come out of Shadow Form? <reaches out to touch her> I really need a hug. 
[19:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Or we could just say "Yes she's touchable unless you're trying to do her physical harm?" >.> blargh.))
 Cyla: Oh. <drops shadow form and tugs him into her for a tight hug> My bad.
[19:13] arynwyn: Bren: <hugs her back, burying his face in her hair> It's okay. I just... I'm just really sad right now. For Suravi. She was, is, pretty broken up about this. <sighs>
[19:14] arynwyn: Ren: <holds Rav and strokes her hair, hoping she'll fall asleep so she doesn't have to worry for a few hours, at least>
[19:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: You're too sweet, doc.  <pats his back>  
 Rav: ...thank you, Ren.  I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here...<she mumbles>
[19:17] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23417385.html#cutid1)(Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23417385.html#cutid1)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23417385.html#cutid1  <---is not locked.  I swear it isn't.))
[19:18] arynwyn: Bren: <frowns> Maybe. <pulls away> I suppose I shouldn't keep you. <touches her cheek softly, then lets her go>
 
 Ren: No need to thank me, Suravi. <rubs her back slowly> I'd do anything for you, you know that.
[19:18] arynwyn: (( Which? The silver_spork one or the one above that one? ))
[19:19] arynwyn: (( er, nevermind. ))
[19:20] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. ~_~ ))
[19:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <snuggles him like a teddy bear, nuzzling his shoulder and neck a little as she gets comfy for sleepings>
 
 Cyla: <sighs> Yeah I s'pose.  Night drags on forever sometimes...
[19:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the 3rd one had me going WTF? >.>))
[19:21] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> Freak. ))
[19:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((....I dunno if we're leaving for the movie soon or not; it starts in 18 minutes...but go sleepytimes when you need to.))
[19:22] arynwyn: Bren: <sighs as well> I know. I wish for once, we could spend a night together, like normal couples. <shakes his head, looking at the floor>
[19:23] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okay. If you don't go, I won't sleep. I'm doin' pretty good. ^^ ))
[19:23] arynwyn: (( At least for now. >.> ))
[19:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee.  we're going to re-reschedule for next Sunday.  ^_^ ))
 Cyla: Yeah well...maybe once we become convinced that there'll be no mad assassin attacks against the Lord....
[19:26] arynwyn: (( <laugh> mkay ))
[19:26] arynwyn: Bren: <nods> Yeah. Not that that day will ever come... <turns to go to his room>
[19:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((aww man I got dressed for nothing))
 Cyla: ...hey doc?
[19:28] arynwyn: Bren: Hm? <stops and turns to look at her>
[19:28] arynwyn: (( <snerk> I hate that. ))
[19:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not like I'm dressed up or anything...but still...))
 Cyla: <smiles> I'm crazy 'bout you.  Just so you know.
[19:30] arynwyn: Bren: <smiles back at her for a second, then walks back to her, pulling her close and kissing her hard> I'm crazy about you too. I don't know what I'd do without you.
[19:31] arynwyn: (( Hehe, wanna hear a daydream I had last night while I was waiting for you? ((
[19:31] arynwyn: *))
[19:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: Sweet, doc. <pulls away but leaves an arm around him so she can swat him playfully on the rear> Go on.  Serious work to do and all that. <grin>
 
 ((Yes! :D ))
[19:32] arynwyn: Bren: <grins back and pulls away, walking down the hall, shaking his ass at her> See you at dawn.
[19:32] arynwyn: (( Cyla: I hate to see you leave, but I *love* to watch you go... ))
[19:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Cyla: I like seeing him come better.  Err....in the non-dirty sense of that.  <pause, think> No, wait, in that sense too...))
[19:33] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[19:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe and I are thinking about getting this comforter set: (Link: http://www.fingerhut.com/ProductGroup.aspx?offergroupxid=28264&categoryxid=135)(Link: http://www.fingerhut.com/ProductGroup.aspx?offergroupxid=28264&categoryxid=135)http://www.fingerhut.com/ProductGroup.aspx?offergroupxid=28264&categoryxid=135 ))

[19:40] arynwyn: (( okay, well... there was a thief-in-the-night <giggle>, like Zorro I guess, who showed up at a party. there's a woman on the balcony thing as he shows up. he does something, saves someone's life or something, then as he turns to leave, he sees her. he jumps up on the balcony and kisses her, then starts to go. she chases after (parts of this are like from what we did) and says, "Take me with you!"... he turns back to her and kisses her again, then says he'll return to her. then he disappears. the next night he shows back up, kiss, she asks for a name, he replies with "The Wind" then disappears... this goes on for a couple of weeks, then one night he comes in and says to get ready, he's taking her with him... she gladly goes, and he takes her off to some castle-type place, showing himself as a noble with a name. but it's not like she thought. she's kept locked up in the place and he never pays any attention to her. she has everything should could ever want materially, but nothing more. so she tells him to take her back home, but he laughs at her and says no, she's his now... she goes into her room and slams the door, crying... then The Wind shows up in her room. She's all confused until he explains that the man, the noble in the other room is his twin who stole her away from him for revenge. she doesn't believe him until she opens the door and sees that there are, indeed, two of them. so she changes into the clothing she wore the night she was kidnapped, and they disappear.... and that's as far as I got. >.> ))
[19:40] arynwyn: (( oooh! That's nice!! ))
[19:41] arynwyn: (( O_o Me needs a slanket! Never seen one of those before! ))
[19:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That's awesome!!! You could do that as your NaNoWriMo if you wanted!! ))
[19:42] arynwyn: (( You think? >.> ))
[19:42] arynwyn: (( A lot is stolen from you though. ))
[19:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I know.  I've only seen slankets one other place and I don't remember where... And yeah, you totally could. ^_^ ))
[19:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Feh.  A lot of what you stole from me I stole from someone else. ^_^ ))
[19:43] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Even worse. ))
[19:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's not like it's being professionally published.  And hell, Shakespeare stole left, right and center.))
[19:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((As long as you're not stealing the actual sentences, it's all good))
[19:43] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[19:43] arynwyn: (( so, more RP? ))
[19:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure! ^_^ ))
[19:44] arynwyn: (( Who/what/when/where/etc? ))
[19:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmmmmmmmmm....excellent qvestion....<steeples fingers> any ideas or preferences?  All the charas in my head are clamoring for "screen time" ))
[19:46] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Dunno. I'm not sure I'm up for the intervention though... >.< ))
[19:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> That's fine. <ponder ponder> Who do we have to muck with?  <running through my own charas> Kat, Lore, Jaes, Xen, Ash....puppies still need names....Mya...or we can work on making up characters for your singletons - a guy for Mai, for example?))
[19:49] arynwyn: (( sure sure! ))
[19:50] arynwyn: (( would be good for her to have someone who likes her, with all she's going through... ))
[19:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah she'll need the support.  What was Monty like, out of curiosity?
[19:51] arynwyn: Uhm, we didn't RP a lot, but he was kind of like Thandren, only a Blood Knight and more active in training and fighting.
[19:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Hrm.  Does she have a particular fondness for blood knights?
[19:53] arynwyn: Nope. That was just what Mark picked. 
[19:53] arynwyn: She could, if you wanted her to. >.>
[19:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Nah.  I'm thinking about making him attempting to learn druidic ways and get in good with the Cenarion Circle.  <grins>
[19:55] arynwyn: <laugh> nice!!
[19:56] Chaos Angel Sox: She needs support...esp. with bucking the addiction.  Hmm....what else would she need/want?
[19:57] arynwyn: nice, likes to spoil her with little things, sweet surprises, etc.
[19:58] arynwyn: Other than that, she's really not picky.
[19:58] Chaos Angel Sox: You want another Jaes. <laughs> ^_~
[19:58] arynwyn: <giggle> YES!!!!
[20:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I'm so damn sexy. <grins>
 The idea I have in my head isn't for someone rich or well-off; or maybe disinherited from a family that is.  But I can see lots of simple gifts from him.  The type likely to be straightforward and sweet.
[20:01] arynwyn: sounds perfect. ^^
[20:02] Chaos Angel Sox: yay :3 
 Did you ever see Fried Green Tomatoes?
[20:02] arynwyn: No... >.<
[20:02] Chaos Angel Sox: shame; I'm sort of making a male version of one of the female main characters, it seems. ^_^;
[20:03] arynwyn: Hehe, nice.
[20:04] arynwyn: How should they meet? I mean, she's going to be kept in Ren's house for a while. >.>
[20:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah it's true.  Hmm.....where's the Amir'Tor manor again?
[20:07] arynwyn: Eversong, up past Duskwither Spire.
[20:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm....among other things, this guy gets his own honey; he could be selling it to the household staff?
[20:09] arynwyn: <laugh> Hm. Would Mai be back in the kitchens with the staff though?... 
[20:11] Chaos Angel Sox: She might be wandering around.  It wouldn't surprise me if the cook didn't give him money for the honey so much as fixed him food and let him sit and eat. ^_^
[20:11] arynwyn: <laugh> Okay. Or she could be sitting out in the yard when he leaves...
[20:12] Chaos Angel Sox: He could catch sight of her in a window and talk to her.
[20:12] Chaos Angel Sox: "You sure are purty" <giggles>
[20:12] Chaos Angel Sox: j/k
[20:12] arynwyn: <laugh> Oh dear. Hick? >.<
[20:12] Chaos Angel Sox: No, no, just teasing, I promise.
[20:13] arynwyn: <phew> kay, good.
[20:13] Chaos Angel Sox: crap, time to start thinking about names....
[20:13] arynwyn: <snerk>
[20:13] arynwyn: Methinks she'll be sitting in a swing, in the sun, out in the yard. Sound okay?
[20:14] arynwyn: And how long is this after the intervention?
[20:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm....I'm thinking it'll be a few days at least before they even let her start wandering about.  
 Is Rav going to give her the ring?  I'd think she'd try to make her do it on her own as much as possible, to develop the internal fortitude....though it'd hurt her alot to watch her sister go through that.  
[20:16] arynwyn: Pass on the ring, I think. So, why not a week after?
[20:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Malseir Ashtaron sound like a good name?  "Mal" for short?
[20:17] Chaos Angel Sox: week sounds good.
[20:17] arynwyn: Sure. ^^
[20:17] Chaos Angel Sox: now I'm stealing last names from characters...<giggles>
[20:18] arynwyn: <laugh>
[20:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((set zee scene?))
[20:18] arynwyn: (( Okies. ))
[20:21] arynwyn: Mai: <sits in a swing under a Weeping Willow type tree, the sun glistening on her golden hair. she seems to be staring off into the grass, daydreaming perhaps, her eyes dull and empty. her skin is pale and she's thinner than ever>
[20:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <exiting the kitchen's back door, he smiles and makes a motion to the cook that would be a tip of his hat if he were wearing one.  His clothes are simple, undyed cotton: a long sleeved shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his biceps, long trousers with slightly worn cuffs, brown leather boots under them.  He has a leather messenger bag slung over one shoulder, resting against one hip, and a dagger against his other.  His bark brown hair looks roughly cut off at the shoulders; his visible skin is richly tanned.  He calls back into the kitchen> I'll bring you more in a couple of weeks, ma'am.  You make sure and have some more of those good biscuits ready for me.  <there's a laugh from inside the kitchen, and he grins as he turns to start off back into the forest.  He comes to a dead halt seeing the pretty girl under the tree.  He makes the hat-tipping motion, and completes a quite courtly bow> M'lady.  Enjoying the autumn?
[20:31] arynwyn: Mai: <stands up, startled, and blinks at him a few times> Oh... I'm no Lady, sir. <looks at the ground> And yes, the autumn is lovely.
[20:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  Sky and tree canopy's lovelier than the ground, miss.  <sits next to her without asking and leans back in the swing> Living in the pretty house? <he asks with a nod towards the manor>
[20:36] arynwyn: Mai: <sits back down, staring at her hands> Yes, it's my sister's husband's house. I'm staying here until... until I get better. <fidget>
[20:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Good place to recover from an illness.  Nice people, good food, and surrounded by countryside...<rolls his head over to look at her>...almost as pretty as you are. <with a smile>
[20:39] arynwyn: Mai: <flushes> I'm... <bites her lip> ...thank you. I'm Mairen Truedawn. <looks up and smiles at him briefly before going back to staring at her hands>
[20:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm Mal.  Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mairen. <skipping the whole courteous "last name and title" business>  You need anything from me, ask the cook.  I'll be around...oh every other week.  <smiles> Now that I know you're here, I'll be sure to bring a little something extra, just for you, hm?  Get you well again, and soon.  Winter's a hard time to be sick, even in Eversong.
[20:45] arynwyn: Mai: That's really not necessary. I mean... you don't even know me. I'm a... wretched... person. <her eyes mist up and she sniffs> 
[20:45] arynwyn: (( Brb. Tim's home for a few. ))
[20:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[20:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I ponder zee foooooodings....))
[20:59] arynwyn: (( back ))
[21:01] arynwyn: (( <pokety?> ))
[21:04] arynwyn: (( come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack ))
[21:05] arynwyn: (( <cries> ))
[21:05] arynwyn: (( <flails> ))
[21:05] arynwyn: (( <throws a hissy fit> ))
[21:10] arynwyn: (( laaaaaaaaame ))
[21:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Sorry - making zee foodings))
[21:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ginger teriyaki chicken - I'm trying it with broccoli this time >.>))
[21:13] arynwyn: (( I figured. I just got impateint. =P ))
[21:13] arynwyn: ((  YUM  ))
[21:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[21:14] arynwyn: (( Love the new guy, btw. Very easy going. Definately what Mairen needs. ^^ ))
[21:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ginger teriyaki [insert meat of choice here] is one of my signature food items ^_^ Sometimes when I don't have money for presents, I just make it for people as gifts instead.
 
 And yay!  I was about to ask how Mal was doing so far ^_^ ))
[21:14] arynwyn: (( NICE. You can always make me foods. :3 Send the recipe? :-D ))
[21:17] arynwyn: *definitely
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure....to the extent there is one.  ^_^; Anything I learned to make by experimentation (or I learned eons ago, like the breadsticks, and have since made my own) likely doesn't have measurements....))
[21:18] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm waiting on the rice to finish up.))
[21:18] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[21:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((blargh - I started the broccoli & chicken too soon; I bet the broccoli'll be soggy ~_~ If it is, I'll just eat around it, but still...))
[21:21] arynwyn: (( awww. I do that all the time. >.> ))
[21:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((typing up the "recipe" for you in email ^_^))
[21:22] arynwyn: (( sweet :-D ))
[21:28] arynwyn: (( I've gotta do dishes sometime... >.< ))
[21:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> The dishes wait silently for their time to rise up and destroy you....))
[21:29] arynwyn: (( ugh. ))
[21:30] arynwyn: (( If I had my way, I'd break all the damn dishes and use paper stuffs. >.> ))
[21:30] arynwyn: (( At least until we get a decent dishwasher. ))
[21:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sent - but I forgot to warn you - you know about ginger, right?))
[21:32] arynwyn: Uhm...no? >.>
[21:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the type of ginger salad dressing I recommended is kind of spicy, which is good and quite tolerable, even for those who claim they don't like spicy foods.
 HOWEVER - the type I recommended also has these black bits that float around in it - DO NOT BITE INTO THESE.  I did once.  It makes my tongue hurt to remember....and I love spicy food.))
[21:33] arynwyn: (( O.o ))
[21:33] arynwyn: (( Got it. ))
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and broccoli is too soggy; ended up dumping all the broccoli out >.> sigh.  Oh well.   Back to RP, if you're ready as well? ^_^ ))
[21:34] arynwyn: (( aww. I'm ready. :-D ))
[21:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs> If I was only nice to people I know, I'd never be nice to anyone.  "A stranger's just a friend you haven't met yet." 
[21:36] arynwyn: Mai: <looks over at him and wipes at her eyes> True enough. Thanks. For being nice, I mean.
[21:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're sick.  You need it extra bad.  Talk to the cook; she should have some of those tasty biscuits left.  I didn't quite manage to eat them all.  <he smiles>  And I can't believe they're as bad as all that <nodding to the manor> I mean, I never met the man, but his staff loves him to pieces.  I deliver to a few other manors where the staff doesn't have a decent word to say 'bout the man in charge.
[21:40] arynwyn: Mai: I don't eat much. <fidgets> And Thandren, Lore Amir'Tor, really is a great man. My sister is very lucky. 
[21:41] arynwyn: *Lord
[21:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  <he studies her, not in the way most men eye women, but with a judgemental eye>...forgive my saying so, Mairen, but you should try to eat more.  I know when you're sick it isn't easy, but your body needs the strength.  Even just a single bite more every day would help. <smiles>  You'll see.
[21:46] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> No, I can't. I know I need to but... the food is tasteless. It turns to ash in my mouth. And... <closes her eyes briefly> ...nevermind.
[21:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Cat's trying to get my food....))
 Mal: <shrugs> You do what you can.  It's all anyone can ask.  You want to get better, right?
[21:49] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at him> I don't know. I don't think I do. I think it would be easier just to waste away. <looks away, back down at the ground>
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <thinks about that a minute, leaning back in the swing to look up at the canopy> Probably is.  No, I'm sure it is.  But easy isn't always right.  And you've got people who'd miss you with a fierceness, I'm sure.  Your sister, her family.  <he sits up to look at her> I bet this swing would miss you, and the willow here.  And heck, I just met you, but if coming out the door there and seeing a pretty young thing over here under this tree wasn't the best surprise I've had in awhile, then I'm an orc. <grins> Brightened my day up, and let me tell you, on a day when I'm getting good food, making it even brighter is quite the feat. <gives her a gentle chuck under the chin> So chin up, hm?  Keep fighting the good fight.
[21:56] arynwyn: Mai: <turns crimson but smiles> I just don't know what I'm going to do after this, after I'm well again. I mean, I can't go back to being a mage. My sister is here, with her life, and my other sister is gone... <sighs and shakes her head> I'm sorry. I don't want to bring you down; it seems you're having a very good day.
[21:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I am.  I doubt you could change that for the worse.  <thinks> Hey, you want to see something? <stands and offers her his hand>
[21:58] arynwyn: Mai: <looks at his hand for a moment, then nods and takes it, standing weakly> Sure.
[22:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Don't worry, it's not too far.  Lean on me if you need.  I clean up when I know I'm coming by a house.  <he puts an arm around her back, gripping her far arm with his hand to help support her> Over this way. <taking slow careful steps>
[22:02] arynwyn: Mai: <leans against him, though not too heavily> Where are we going? <she smiles up at him>
[22:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You'll see.  It's just about the perfect day for it, so hopefully it's there...careful of that rock there.  <the sound of a creek or a river can be heard nearby>
[22:04] arynwyn: Mai: <steps over the rock carefully and looks around> I've not been out here this far. It's lovely. <she pulls her cloak around her more tightly against the "cold">
[22:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <they near the river's edge and walk along it; he gives occasional warnings of branches and rocks and steady footing, holding onto her all the while.  Eventually they come out into a clearing through the trees, and to the edge of a steep precipice.  The river cascades down along the cliff face and continues its path, and as it falls, a fine spraying mist is thrown into the air.  A cloud passes over the sun momentarily, and when it goes, the sun's light refracts through the mist, causing an ethereal rainbow> Oh good...it showed up. <he smiles>
[22:10] arynwyn: Mai: <gasps softly at the sighs> It's beautiful... <she turns to look at him, smiling> Thank you for showing this to me. <she looks back at the water and watches it fall, mesmerized>
[22:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <watches her smile> I know I probably sound preachy, saying you should do this more or that more, but aside from eating more, you should smile more.  Almost outshone the rainbow there for a minute.
[22:14] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes furiously again, fighting a smile. she looks away from him and back out at the water> I don't want to leave, but I should get back, or my sister will worry about me. I'm... not supposed to leave the house, you see. I had to practically beg to be allowed to swing. <she looks back up at him> But thank you.
[22:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're welcome.  C'mon, I'll get you back.  And when I come back to the house, I expect to see some more meat on these bones and a smile on that face, hm?
[22:16] arynwyn: Mai: <nods a little> I'll try. If not for me, then for you. <turns to go> But only if you promise to bring me back out here.
[22:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Easy enough.  <puts his free hand over his heart> I promise.  ((for some reason I'm thinking of Robin Hood: Men in Tights there: "Promise me you won't go!" "Very well: I promise you won't go." "Thank you, I..."<she gets this "Wait..." look on her face>))
[22:19] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[22:19] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and puts a hand over her own heart> Then I promise to eat more.
[22:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Probably one of the best trades I've done today then, even better than biscuits for honey.  Okay, back to the swing with you...or should I drop you off at the house proper?
[22:21] arynwyn: Mai: Probably the house. I'm a little cold. 
[22:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<puts on Robin Hood: Men in Tights> I had to...))
 Mal: Right enough.  <takes her around to the kitchen door and knocks; when the cook answers, he grins> I seem to have come across this young lady, she says she belongs to you? <chuckles as the cook clucks at Mairen about being out so late and it getting cold and all>
[22:24] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at the cook, then turns to him> It was nice to meet you, Mal. Thank you again. I suppose I'll see you in a couple of weeks?
[22:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> Of course. <telling the cook> I expect you to do your best to fatten her up.  I know I'm not the only one you make biscuits and dumplings for, hm? <smiles and does his hat tipping motion to them both in turn, bowing to Mairen as well.>  Eat more, smile more.
[22:26] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods, then steps inside the kitchen. she gives a wave and then disappears>
[22:26] arynwyn: (( Aww. He's so sweet! ))
[22:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> Glad you like him.  
 Jaes: Wait, do you like him more than me?
 Lore: Heh.  Know my pain, thief-boy!))
[22:28] arynwyn: (( No, Jaes, you have no fear of being replaced. <huggles and snuggles> ))
[22:28] arynwyn: (( <kills off Charise so she can have Jaes all to herself> ))
[22:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: ;__; are you sure you can't pick Mal as your favorite after all?))
[22:29] arynwyn: (( Aww, Jaes... I wouldn't kill her. I want you happy! )0
[22:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: <whew>
 But I am glad Mal's made such a good impression already.))
[22:31] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[22:31] arynwyn: (( more? <winning smile> ))
[22:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ff to a couple weeks later?))
[22:31] arynwyn: (( sure thing. ))
[22:31] arynwyn: (( so, this is three weeks after the intervention. ))
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[22:32] arynwyn: (( uhm... I should go do dishes quick, so tim doesn't hate me when he gets home. >.> ))
[22:33] arynwyn: (( gimme 10 mins. k? ))
[22:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No hating!  that's fine ^_^ ))
[22:39] arynwyn: (( I cheated and put all the big dishes in >.> ))
[22:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[22:40] arynwyn: Mai: <is sitting in the swing again, wearing a nice dark blue dress. she has gained a little weight, though not a lot, and she looks healthier, her eyes look more alive. she swings slowly and stares off into the trees>
[22:40] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[22:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sneaks up behind her, grabbing the back of the swing and sliding his hands along it as he leans forward to smile at her over her shoulder> You look like an artist's rendering of a fairy of twilight.
[22:44] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Doin' some other stuffs. Eating or chillin' with the husband. 
[22:44] arynwyn: (( I'm here. ))
[22:45] arynwyn: Mai: <jumps a little in suprise, but turns to look at him, grinning> Are you a poet? If not, you should be. 
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I know - you're just being sneaky...like me. ^_^ ))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( <snerk> Yeah. ))
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs as he straightens up and lets go of the swing carefully.  As he walks around to face her, he tugs a small leather bag out of his messenger bag and offers it to her> I thought about getting you your own jar of honey, but that didn't seem to make much sense, since you can have all the honey from the kitchens you want, yes?  So I got you these instead.
[22:49] arynwyn: Mai: <raises an eyebrow and takes the pouch> You got me something? You didn't have to. <but she smiles up at him, then pulls the pouch open. she has a flashback of the things she used to keep in small pouches but she gives her head a little shake and looks inside>
[22:51] arynwyn: (( Tim's home... ))
[22:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'd said I would, hadn't I? <the pouch contains various colors and sizes of quartz.  There's one particularly large chunk of clear quartz he fishes out to hold up to the light: it casts little rainbows on her dress> This is the best one: you can have rainbows whenever you want.
[22:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay, right? ^_^ ))
[22:52] arynwyn: (( Mhm. ))
[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay!))
[22:54] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles happily> These are amazing! <she dumps out the pouch on her lap and examines them each, then she scoops them up and pours them back in. she stands and hugs him quickly, blushing when she pulls away> Thank you. I... I don't have anything for you, I'm afraid. I'm sorry.
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You look healthier than you did last I was here, and you smiled at me.  Gifts enough.  And I still owe you a trip back to the waterfall.  I'll do my trade with the house when we get back, hm?
[22:58] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> Sounds good. <she's stronger on her feet but still not completely 100%> Shall we?
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Gladly. <offers his arm> So you've been eating better, I can tell <looks her up and down...mostly just to judge her appearance now versus two weeks ago...mostly>.  Smiling more too, I hope?
[23:01] arynwyn: Mai: I've been trying. You'll have to ask my sister to be for certain. <she takes his arm and smiles up at him> But I made a promise and I've done my best to keep it.
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I knew you would.  You seem to be a woman of her word.  More importantly, are you feeling better?
[23:05] arynwyn: Mai: <as they walk> A little. I still find myself despairing sometimes, but you gave me something to look forward to, and that helped immensely. My ad-... illness has gotten better, but it still plagues me. 
[23:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: A stubborn one, hmm?  But I'm sure you'll win out in time.  Oh careful there, don't trip...
[23:08] arynwyn: Mai: <steps around the stone, murmuring her thanks> It's the worst. You have no idea.
[23:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: My sympathies then, fairy princess.  Oh look.... <one of the boulders near the waterfall's edge is laden with various wildflowers> seems someone left you some pretty presents.  Probably he...whoever it is...didn't know what kind of flowers you liked, so just picked some of everything. <smiles>
[23:10] arynwyn: (( Awwwwwwwwwww! ))
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles>))
[23:12] arynwyn: Mai: <looks over at the flowers and grins> I wonder who this mystery man could be... <she steps over to the flowers and picks a couple up to smell> And I wonder how I could contact him to let him know my favorites are daisies. <she picks out a daisy and looks up at him again> Thank you.
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Daisies, hm?  Simple, pretty, not pretentious...in retrospect, it seems so obvious. <he peers over the edge> Doesn't look like we'll get a rainbow today, sadly.
[23:17] arynwyn: Mai: Don't be so sure about that... <she pulls out the clear quartz and catches the sun with it, reflecting the light out onto the water. she smiles up at him>
[23:17] arynwyn: (( sorry, Tim needing attention. =P ))
[23:17] arynwyn: (( okies, he's going to go shower methinks. ))
[23:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee ))
[23:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs> See? Further proof: fairies are known for their cleverness as well as their beauty.
[23:20] arynwyn: Mai: <watches the light for a bit, then sighs> I wish I could stay out here forever, as a fairy. <slips the crystal back into the pouch and turns to him>
[23:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, you'll always be a fairy to me, no matter where you are. <smiles> Is the fairy princess ready for biscuits and dumplings?  Assuming you'll eat with me and not with your sister and her family?  Or with your fairy court? <grin>
[23:25] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and nods> I'd love to. <she picks up a few more flowers to make a small bouquet (sp?) and then returns to his side> Ready when you are.
[23:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ((You spelled it right, silly ^_~)) <offers his arm again> Remember, I'm here if you need to lean on me.  Just watch out; the forest likes to trip people.
[23:28] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and takes his arm> You wouldn't let me fall. <follows him back toward the house>
[23:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It's true.  The fairy king'd have my head. <laughs> And you know I'm going to be watching your plate, to make sure you eat as much as possible.
[23:30] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and walks close to him> I'm sure you will. I hope the cook doesn't give me too much...
[23:31] arynwyn: Mai: Though, I wonder what happens if I don't enough enough by your standards? <raises an eyebrow and grins>
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Hmmm....well, I don't have any authority to punish a fairy princess.  Maybe I need to go at it from another angle.  Should I offer a reward for good progress through your dinner?
[23:33] arynwyn: Mai: <grins again> A reward sounds more like my language. What did you have in mind?
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Hmm....more daisies? Pretty rocks?  I don't know what a fairy princess would have any need of or use for...
[23:35] arynwyn: Mai: <flushes a little at her thoughts> Anything from you would be wonderful. This fairy princess isn't picky. <smiles up at him>
[23:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ((I keep getting cat-attacked)) I'll have to ponder this....should I give the wrong gift, the fairy princess might be displeased.  One never angers fairies if one's smart....<as they reach the house again.  He knocks on the door and tips his non-existent hat to the cook when she answers> Two for dinner tonight, please. <as he pulls out a few jars of honey to offer to her>
[23:39] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:40] arynwyn: Mai: <grins at him, the looks at the honey> Is this what you do, Mal? Go from house to house selling honey?
[23:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cattacked?))
[23:40] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Or whatever the house requires.  Honey, herbs, leather, game...nature provides quite well if you ask her nicely.  <that jogs the cook's memory and hands over a list of things she wants from him; he looks it over and nods> Yeah, all the houses around here that don't have a huntsmaster are stocking up for the upcoming winter.  Maybe some fur for the lord's new lady?  Help keep her warm?  <smiles at Mairen> And of course for the fairy princess too.  <the cook arches an eyebrow and goes back to making them dinner>
[23:46] arynwyn: Mai: Oh, no. I don't have the money for a new cloak, let alone fur. <she sits down at the table> My sister, who spends her days in silk dresses <she smiles but there's a jealous gleam in her eyes>, would love some fur, I'm sure.
[23:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Who said anything about requiring coin?  Ma'am <addressing the cook>, have I ever asked for money?  <the cook says oh dearie no never; he looks back to Mairen and sits down opposite her> See?  No coin required.
[23:50] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> You've done enough for me as it is. And I've done... nothing. I'd have to repay you somehow. But I can't. I'm sickly, living with my sister, surviving by her husband's generosity, and broke. <sighs a little and looks away from him>
[23:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, I'm sure you have a talent or two you can exploit if you want.  But you've deigned to keep me company on my trips here, and that's payment enough as far as I'm concerned. <smiles at her and then up at the cook as she sets two plates down in front of them.  Mairen's plate is indeed piled higher than Mal's; as soon as the cook turns her back, he swaps plates with her with a wink>
[23:54] arynwyn: Mai: <gives him a "thank you" look and begins to eat slowly> Talents? I can... pick herbs and make potions,  but I... I'm not supposed to. And I'm not supposed to use my mage abilities either. <stares down at her plate and pokes her food>
[23:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <frowns> Not supposed to use what nature's provided to help people?  That seems silly to me. Almost as silly as not eating your food.
[23:57] arynwyn: Mai:  <obligingly takes a bite> It's because of my... illness. <she sighs> Perhaps after we eat, I should tell you about it. Then maybe you'd understand. <another bite>
[23:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: If you like. <eating huge bites, which takes long minutes to chew and swallow> And of course, if there's anything I can do to help you with it, I will...
[00:00] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little at him> I appreciate it. I really don't know if there's anything you can do, or... anyone, really. <bite, chew> 
[00:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs> Perhaps not.  But know the desire to help is there at least.  <big bite>
[00:02] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and falls silent as she forces more food down, feeling nervous and apprehensive. she makes it through about 2/3 of her plate before setting her fork down> I give. Do you want the rest?
[00:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods and pulls her plate over with his, which is mostly gone.  He smiles at her, looking a bit like a hamster with its cheek pouches stuffed, as he has a huge chunk of food in his mouth>
[00:04] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles a little and watches him eat> The food here is great, isn't it?
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods as he swallows> Some of the best.  I usually trade for goods I need: sharpening and repairing my tools, any incidentals I might need, that sort of thing.  This is the only house where I trade my goods for a meal.  I always look forward to these stops...<smiles at her> and even more so now.
[00:07] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes again> So, you just wander around and live off of the land? That must be exciting. 
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> It's...educational. <shrugs>
[00:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((keep trying to think of something else for him to say and keep coming up with stuff I don't like :P ))
[00:10] arynwyn: Mai: Do you not have a family?... <leans her weight on her elbows, which rest on the table> I have two sisters, but everyone else perished in the attacks.
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm sorry to hear that.  You must be very close to them then?  Oh, wait you said you hadn't seen your other sister in some time...I'm sorry.  <sheepish>  But obviously this sister cares for you greatly.
[00:14] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Taena is busy training. She's a Blood Knight. Suravi, the one who lives here, is a Priest, but she left the Temple to marry. We had always been close. When they both left, I just... kind of fell apart. I threw myself into my training as a mage, and... I made some, well they're not really friends as I see now, who influenced me for the worse. <sighs> More on that later though. But you didn't answer my question. <smile> Unless you'd rather not say?
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <clears his throat> I've not talked to my family in some time.  We're all happier with that arrangement. <stands> If you still want to discuss your illness, should we do so outside or elsewhere?  It's getting on towards evening, and I don't want you to be too chilled, but...
[00:18] *** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 17 00:18:19 2007.
[00:18] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Wed Oct 17 00:18:28 2007.
[00:18] arynwyn: Mai: <stands up as well> I'm sorry if I touched on a sore subject. <looks out the window> I think in the short time it will take for me to tell my tale, I will be alright outside.
[00:18] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[00:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((stupid AIM))
[00:20] arynwyn: (( Did you get my post? ))
[00:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yep - reply coming))
[00:20] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[00:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Very well, fairy princess.  Out into the twilight we go then.  I'd better hold your hand; you'll blend into the dusk and I'll lose you otherwise.  <the cook rolls her eyes and stifles a giggle>
[00:21] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and nods, blushing lightly>
[00:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <walks outside> Should we return to the swing? This is your story; you should be comfortable.
[00:23] arynwyn: (( did he take her hand? >.> ))
[00:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm looking up magic addiction on WoW Wiki again....oh and yes, he took her hand ^_^))
[00:23] arynwyn: (( okies. )) 
[00:24] arynwyn: Mai: The swing will be perfect. <she enjoys the feel of his hand around hers, letting  him lead her over to the tree>
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <lets her sit first, then settles himself near her> So this stubborn illness of yours...if you still wish to talk about it?  <he keeps her hand in his, resting his other hand over it gently, like trapping a firefly>
[00:30] arynwyn: Mai: <looks down at their hands> I think it only fair you know. <she sighs and looks up at the leaves of the tree> It's not easy to talk about. It took me days to admit it. But... I have a terrible magic addiction. I was (chewing?) Bloodthistle, drinking mana potions, using this crystalized powder of some sort, something someone from the Spire gave me. I only started because I was so alone, and everyone at the Spire does these things. I didn't stop to think that they would hurt me. But... they do. And if I don't get on the right path, then I could become <her voice gets hoarse as tears well up in  her eyes> a Wretched. 
[00:31] arynwyn: Mai: <looks over at him, waiting for his reaction, expecting him to pull his hands away and leave her there in the cold>
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat on lap))
[00:32] arynwyn: (( hehe, okies. ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((nevermind, he got mad when I tried to scootch him so I could type and left >.>))
[00:32] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[00:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> You stopped fighting your natural addiction, and instead amplified it.  And now the withdrawal is worse.  <he nods>  I'm sorry.  That is a hard fight.  ((Hmmm...to muck with lore just a tiiiiny bit or not....))
[00:35] arynwyn: (( go for it ))
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...but I think I can help.  I'm not sure if you want this help or not...what I'm suggesting isn't really the life for a fairy princess, but...
[00:36] arynwyn: Mai: <looks  up at him> You can help? But how?...
[00:37] arynwyn: (( change to a sex addiction? <laugh> ))
[00:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Mal: You know, it wasn't what I was suggesting at all, but...there's a dark, dirty part of me that really wouldn't mind...))
[00:38] arynwyn: (( Mai: <blushes and giggles> Yeah, me either... ))
[00:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, not me so much, but...there's a place I know.  It's far from here -VERY far, another continent even- but it's a sanctuary set up by the Cenarion Circle.  The druids there take no part in the struggle between the Horde and the Alliance: they just want to protect the land and the people.  I travel there once a year, learn from them what they can teach me.  They might be able to help you with your addiction and, if nothing else, they have a Moonwell, which would definitely help.  In fact...<reaches into his bag and pulls out a small flask; there's a little bit of ethereal water in it>...here.  I don't have much left, but I'm about due for another trip anyway.  You could use this to help you until you decide whether or not you'd really want to be that far from everyone.
[00:44] arynwyn: Mai: <just kind of looks at him for a long moment, not taking the flask, then says quietly> Yes. Please, I'd like to go. If... if you're going too. I don't think I can do any of this alone. <looks into his eyes>
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he nods and smiles at her> It'd take a good few months to get there and back, fairy princess, and I don't have the coin for fancy travelling.  I sleep outside pretty much the entire trip, and usually only have whatever shelter I can find.
[00:48] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I don't care. I did some similar things when I was training. It's not the most fun thing, but it's doable. And... and we'd have each other. <blushes and looks away>
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles softly> You know I'd protect you.  As best a lowly mortal can defend a fairy princess anyway.
[00:51] arynwyn: Mai: <looks back up to him> And... did I eat enough dinner? For a reward? <crimson>
[00:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles> Indeed.  Have you decided what you'd like, because, aside from a fur cloak which I'm getting for you anyway, I don't know what to give you.  I've not much on me at the moment...
[00:55] arynwyn: Mai: <her face is still very red, and her eyes glow with life. she leans in a little closer> Would it be... presumptuous to ask for... a kiss? 
[00:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles and instead of answering, he leans in and kisses her gently>
[00:57] arynwyn: Mai: <returns the kiss softly, letting him be the first to pull away. she smiles (( to steal your word )) blushingly up at him> When do you think we should leave?
[01:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The WoW wiki forums hurt my heeeeaddd))
 Mal: ((also: blushingly not my word.  up for general use ^_~)) ...well, there's a lot of preparation to see to; more so if you're coming as well.  <rubs the back of his neck> My plan was to go through another cycle at the houses while I prepare and then leave not long after that.  So...it'd be another 3 weeks or so, at the earliest.  That's why you should take the moonwell water with you; I'm only working on containing the normal addiction we are all cursed with at birth.  Yours is much worse. <presses the flask on her again>
[01:04] arynwyn: Mai: But what will you use if I take this? <she accepts the flask, looking inside of it> Three weeks. That's plenty. I will have saved up a good sum of money by then. I'm still getting paid a small amount. I told the Spire I needed sick leave. And since I'm not buying herbs, drugs or potions... If you'll give me a list of things you need, I can purchase them. 
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes his head> See to your own supplies before mine.  I'm used to making this trip; I can take care of myself.  I'll borrow some paper from the cook and draw up a list for you so you know what to acquire.  And don't spend all your money; while I recommend high quality supplies, you'll need zeppelin fare, at a bare minimum.
[01:07] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I think the thing I need the most is a new set of clothes, and boots... <looks up at the tree thoughtfully> A list would be helpful, though, yes. <she leans her head on his shoulder> Will you promise me somethings?
[01:07] arynwyn: *something
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks at her leaning against him> If it's something I can promise, yes.  What is it, fairy princess?
 
 ((Mal: Promise to take sexual advantage of you as soon as we're out of eye- and ear-shot of the house? Wellll...maybe not THAT soon, but....))
[01:10] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[01:11] arynwyn: Mai: That if I become a burden, you will send me back here. Or... tell me to leave. I don't want to be an encumbrance. Please, promise me this. <she looks up at him imploringly<>
[01:11] arynwyn: *>
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs> Okay, I promise. <smiles, and thinks for a minute> Should I explain this trip to your family or do you want to do it yourself?
[01:16] arynwyn: Mai: <bites her bottom lip> I think I should do it. They're going to want to meet you, I'm sure. At least my sister. She's going to want to explain the whole situation and tell you each embarrassing moment... <sigh> And I apologize in advance for that. 
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Why should you apologize? I apologize for being even peripherally involved in your embarassment.  <he stands> I'll be back in a week, just to check up on things, and to see if your sister and brother-in-law want to interrogate me.  In the meantime, we should see to your list, so you're properly prepared.
[01:20] arynwyn: Mai: <stands as well> Thank you for not... <looks away> thinking me horrible for... for this addiction. <she pulls her cloak around her against the wind and starts back toward the house>
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: One moment of weakness does not make you a weak person.  The fact that you're fighting it, and willing to do so much to fight it, proves otherwise.
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: *and are willing
[01:23] arynwyn: Mai: When we first met, I wasn't fighting it. Not more than what was necessary to keep my sister happy. But now... I have hope now. <smiles at him> Thanks to you. 
[01:26] arynwyn: (( <random huggles!> __
[01:26] arynwyn: ))
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stops and turns to her> You shouldn't do this for anyone else except yourself, Mairen.  Not for your sister, not for me. 
 
 ((YAY!!! <hugses!>))
[01:28] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I'm not. Not anymore. I just needed a friend desperately, someone to remind me of the wonders in life. And you have done just that. The waterfall, the crystals... your kiss... <blushes again>
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles> Glad you liked everything.  And even more glad that you're doing this for yourself.  It will help more than all the moonwell water in the world. <resumes walking back towards the house; he asks the cook when they arrive for paper, ink and quill, which she gladly provides.  He scribbles out a list in barely intelligible chicken scratch and hands it to Mairen>
[01:31] arynwyn: Mai: <looks it over, then folds it up> Thank you. One week? <smile>
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles> I'll be back in a week, yes.  <tells the cook he'll have her full order the week after, but he'll bring what he can next week; she nods and says that's fine> Keep eating and smiling in the meantime.
[01:34] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I will. Please be careful. <gives him a quick hug, blushing again>
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <the cook arches an eyebrow but says nothing> I'm always careful. <chucks her under the chin quickly, tips his hat to both women, bows to Mairen and then ducks back out into the rapidly approaching night.>
[01:37] arynwyn: (( A week later, then? ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> Indeed! :D ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((shall I open the gambit? <grin>))
[01:39] arynwyn: (( sure thing ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <taps on the kitchen door, carrying an extra pack in addition to his messenger bag.  The cook lets him in and he begins unpacking what parts of her order he's brought with him, mostly honey and game meat>
[01:42] arynwyn: Mai: <steps into the kitchen> Hey Abronia, has Mal- Oh! Mal. <grin> You're here, finally. <goes to help him unpack the goods> How are you?
[01:43] arynwyn: (( <offers bananas and nutella> )
[01:43] arynwyn: *))
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Always happy to see your smiling face.  I'm almost done with your cloak, and then I'll start on the one for your sister.  How are you this week, fairy princess?
 
 ((I'm getting ready to make popcorn, have a rum & coke with it and maybe also some Hersheys with Almonds))
[01:44] arynwyn: (( YUM ))
[01:45] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Doing okay. I had a bit of a... <glances at the chef, then steps in closer to him, lowering her voice> relapse a few days ago. I was out walking in the woods behind the house and I came across some Bloodthistle... <she sighs> It only grows in Eversong, right? 
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he nods> Indeed.  I've never seen it elsewhere.  So we'll get you away from temptation entirely. <he clears his throat> Do I need to speak with your family?
[01:46] arynwyn: (( Rav wants to meet him, yes? I'm sure Bren does. ))
[01:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He's taking her sister to another continent...alone? hell yes she wants to meet him xD  Also: YOUR FAULT.  Joe made some comment into his vent server about "It'll be an adventure" and I can't stop saying "We're on a bridge, Charlie - a magical bridge of hope and wonder!" YOUR.  FAULT.))
[01:50] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> Dontcha just LOVE me?! :-D ))
[01:50] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Yeah, they do. They're waiting in the den, whenever you're ready. <she smiles>
[01:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods and smoothes his clothes, running a hand through his hair and clearing his throat> Haven't been among the Quality for a long time...
 
 ((Yeah, I love you like a little sister who hasn't been shoved into the dryer enough...let me fix that... ^_~ ))
[01:52] arynwyn: (( <ROFLMAO> ))
[01:53] arynwyn: Mai: <pretends to be offended> I'm not Quality, Mr. Mal? 
[01:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're a fairy princess.  The Quality are mere pretenders....and that tends to make them, in general, that much touchier about their status.  Um...lead the way.  I've never seen more of this place than the outside and the kitchens.
[01:57] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles and heads out of the kitchen> Thandren is not a pretender. I think you'll like him. <smiles at him as she leads them into the den>
 
 Ren: <stands with Rav, a hand on the small of her back, and smiles as they enter>
 Bren: <turns around to look at them, eyeing Mal over. he gives a tight smile>
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <finger combs his hair again>
 Rav: <smiles at Mal>
 Cyla: <is standing near the door when they enter, playing bodyguard>
 Mal: <clears his throat> Hello, all.  <smile>
[02:02] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at everyone> This is Mal, everyone. He's the one who's volunteered to take me to the moonwell and the Druids for more help. 
 Ren: Can I offer you a drink, ...Mal?
 Bren: <frowns in Mal's direction. it's obvious he doesn't think too highly of his appearance>
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Ice water'd be nice, thank you.
 Rav: "Mal"? No family name?
 Mal: <clears his throat> Malseir Ashtaron is my full name.
 Cyla: <arches an eyebrow at the name> 
 Rav: Ashtaron?  Long line of mages and hawkstrider ((I almost typed chocobo)) breeders?
 Cyla: Light, even I've heard that name.
 Mal: Um...yeah, that'd be them.
[02:11] arynwyn: Mai: <chews on her lower lip and casts about for a way to change the subject, since she knows he doesn't like to talk about his family, but comes up empty>
[02:11] arynwyn: (( Drat ))
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No drat!))
[02:12] arynwyn: Ren: <steps out of the den for a moment to have a servant fetch a glass of water, then returns to listen to the conversation> Please, have a seat. <he motions to one of the couches, then leads Rav over to one to sit>
 Bren: <gives Cyla a curious look, taking a seat as well> 
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sits>
 Mal: <takes the proffered seat on a couch> Thank you.
 Rav: Do you do this often, Mister Ashtaron?
 Mal: Please, just Mal will be fine.  Malseir if you absolutely must.  And no, I've never taken anyone else with me before, but I go every year.
[02:17] arynwyn: Mai: <sits down next to him, chewing on her bottom lips still and staring down at her hands>
 Bren: Why do you go every year? *Where* do you go? To a moonwell and the Druids doesn't tell us much. And how long will you be gone? And will you be traveling by foot?
[02:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks to Brennan> It's in the Felwood.  I go every year to learn, to recommit myself to becoming closer to the land and nature and farther from the addiction our race's blood carries.  The round trip takes three to four months, depending on the weather, and, excepting the zeppelin journey from here to Kalimdor, yes, the entire journey's on foot.
 Rav: Isn't this...dangerous?  My sister's already undergoing a dangerous journey in her path to fighting her addiction...does she need to compound it?
[02:25] arynwyn: Mai: The druids there can help, Suravi. Mal can helped. He already has. He's given me hope. <she smiles over at Mal> And this can't be any more dangerous than the training I underwent at the Spire. 
 Bren: Why go in winter? Seems the most foolish of times to go on such a journey. 
[02:25] arynwyn: <a servant brings in the drinks>
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I make my living off the land; I spend the other three seasons saving up money and gathering supplies for the trip.  And while it's true winter is colder, it's actually the easiest time to travel, since there are fewer people traveling, which also means fewer footpads.  More animals are hibernating, so there's less chance of attack from them as well.  <thanks the servant as he takes his ice water and sips it>
 Rav: ...I don't know how to bring this up...without it being insulting....<she looks to Ren; considering she'd insulted him once by bringing something similar up, she hopes he'll know a better way to phrase "Why should we leave my sister alone with you and just trust you won't molest/rape/kill her?">
[02:33] arynwyn: Ren: <nods to Rav, knowing her concern> It's just, ...Mal... we don't know you. Therefore we feel insecure about sending Mairen with you out into the wild with just your word. How can you reassure us? <takes a drink of wine>
 Bren: <nods> Exactly. How can you expect us to trust you? (( Nice tact there Bren. ))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( Going to have to restart the internet after you post ))
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and nods, having expected that question but still not relishing answering it>  ...let me tell you a story.  Fancy gentleman like yourself, <nods to Ren> you can get this verified.  <runs a hand back through his hair> At this point in our history, nearly everyone's lost family, but I lost family long before the Scourge attacked.  It's well known that...the Ashtaron have been a mostly mage family for a long time.  My older sister was working hard to live up to that standard.  <smiles faintly, looking at the ice in his glass>  She still had time to spend with me for most of my childhood, and she and I were really close.  I idolized her...and she knew that.  I think it only made the pressure worse.  She succumbed to her addiction in her drive to increase her magical abilities.  And eventually...she did realize the path she was traveling before she became fully Wretched but...she couldn't take the idea of living without that power.  Trapped between two choices, she chose a third and walked off a cliff.  <drinks more of his water>
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry that was so long))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ brb ))
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure sure))
[02:42] arynwyn: (( back ))
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay! do I need to repost?))
[02:42] arynwyn: (( no ))
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((coooool))
[02:46] arynwyn: Mai: <pales as she listens to the story, watching him closely> I'm so sorry, Mal. I had no idea. <she looks at the floor, feeling unbearably guilty> Maybe this isn't a good idea. <she stands and leaves the room very quickly>
 Ren: <sighs as she goes, then turns back to Mal> I'm very sorry for your loss. That must have been hard for you. 
 Bren: <nods slowly> Then you and I have something in common. My mother was terribly addicted as well, and my... aunt... send my father off to find the sunstone in order to make the Ring of the Sunwell (is that it?)... He never came back, and my mother died from the addiction. <long drink of wine> 
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sunwell Ring - same diff))
 Mal: <half-rises as Mai stands and watches her leave the room.  He slowly resumes his seat and looks to Brennan>I'm sorry to hear that.  My sister's death is why I don't associate with my family anymore, and it's why I do what I do for myself.  I want to help Mairen.  I would never want to hurt her.  I swear to you, she'll be under my complete protection at all points.  I want to keep what happened to my sister from happening to her.
 Rav: <is mopping up some tears with a hanky>
[02:54] arynwyn: Bren: <nods> I don't accossiate with that aunt either. <he sighs and looks to Rav> This isn't my decision. 
 Ren: <rubs Rav's back and pulls her into a hug> Shh. Things will be okay. Look how far we've gotten her in a month. <kisses her hair> We're not going to let anything bad happen to her. <continues to sooth her>
[02:55] arynwyn: (( <random huggles> ))
[02:56] arynwyn: *soothe, yeesh
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <whispers to Ren that she thinks Mal's okay>
 Mal: I'm sorry if the story distressed you, Lady.  It wasn't my intention to cause you grief. <glances over his shoulder at the door Mai went through briefly>
 
 ((<pounce-huggles>))
[02:58] arynwyn: Ren: <nods and whispers back that he agrees, then turns to Mal> You have our blessing, then, Mal. Just bring her back to us in one piece, if not well. And take some money. I'll give it to Mairen, if you wish, but I'm not sending you out unprepared. When will you leave?
[03:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Thank you.  I have two more weeks of preparations to see to.  Please give the money to Mairen; I've been preparing for some time - she has a lot of catching up to do in a short amount of time.  In fact, <he rises> I should go over what preparations she has made with her.  Oh...and I had already been planning to give the Lady <nods to Rav> a fur cloak as a welcome to the neighborhood sort of thing.  I'll have that ready before I leave.  I was going to give it to the cook along with the rest of her order, but...
 Rav: Oh, are you the one we get that honey from?  It's very good.
 Mal: <nods and smiles faintly> I'll let the bees know you like it.
[03:04] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles and stands to shake his hand> If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Truly. 
 Bren: <stands and shakes his hand as well> Take care of her. And good luck.
[03:06] arynwyn: (( Mairen is out at the swing, just so you know. ))
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes each of their hands in turn> Thank you. <and does his tip o' the hat to Rav, who nods>
 Cyla: <has been standing there quietly the whole time, but she's no longer trying to look like an impressive bodyguard.  She just nods and smiles at him as he goes through the door>
 Mal: <exits the room and looks around.  Not seeing her, he heads down to the kitchen and prays she's either there, at the swing, or at the waterfall because he does *not* know his way around this house.  When he ducks out the kitchen's door and catches sight of her, he sighs in relief.  He strolls over amiably, a faint smile on his face> Hey, fairy princess.  Still reconsidering this crazy plan?
[03:09] arynwyn: Mai: <hastily wipes away her tears and stands> It's a fool's plan. I shouldn't even have entertained the idea. There's no way this is going to work. <wipes away more tears but they continue to fall> I'm so sorry about your sister. I didn't know. And I just blurted out my problems to you like you should care, but you have your own problems, of course... <kind of babbling as she cries>
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mairen, you didn't know because I didn't tell you.  It would be silly of me to expect you to read my mind.  And your sister, her husband...and whoever those other two people were...have given their blessing.  <he fishes a hanky that used to be white (it is clean, just terminally stained and faded) out and offers it to her>
 
 Rav: Oh! We didn't even introduce ourselves!  I feel so foolish...
 
 ((yeah me too. :P ))
[03:12] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Oops. We can say Mairen introduced everyone? >.> ))
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure.  in which case make "who those other two people were" ", the doctor and the bodyguard"))
[03:14] arynwyn: Mai: <takes the hanky and wipes at the tears again, turning to sit in the swing again> It's still not going to work. I mean... I can't even walk past a Bloothistle fern without... without... <lets out a strangled sob and covers her mouth, crying into the handkerchief>
[03:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I won't let you relapse. <he says in a voice as close to taut determination as she's heard yet; he doesn't sound quite so laid back there>
[03:17] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at him and gives a light smile, then stands and goes over to him and hugging him tightly> Do you promise? Promise to tie me down or lock me up to prevent it?
[03:18] arynwyn: *hugs him
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Whoa now, I'm not sure we're ready for BDSM in this stage of our relationship...))
 Mal: Whatever it takes.  I told the Quality upstairs, and I'm telling you: I won't let what happened to my sister happen to you.
[03:20] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[03:21] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and pulls away> Okay. Then... then let's do it. <gives her face a final wipe with the hanky> What do we need to do before we go?
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, so long as you have everything you need on the list...that's most of it right there.  Keep eating, keep smiling...do lots of walking every day, 'cause you're going to be doing almost nothing but for loooong time.
[03:24] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> I did get everything on the list. And... I can't walk. <shakes her head> No, that's not a good idea. I find things when I walk, things I can't say no to, as I've already shown. <sighs a little>
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Walk with someone then?  You're the sister of the Lady of the House.  Corral some servant or something.  Your body has to get used to it before you start really pushing it.
[03:26] arynwyn: Mai: <bites her bottom lip but nods> Okay. I'll walk, then, with a... an escort. 
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles> I'll be by again in a week, with your fur cloak.  You'll want it.  Eversong's enchantment only holds to its borders, and the sudden snap of winter is...a bit of a shock.
[03:28] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I'm still going to repay you somehow. Even if I cook all the meals from here to there. I'll do something, whatever you want. <smiles up at him> 
[03:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: "I'll do whatever you want": There's a dangerous phrase around a healthy young man...))
 Mal: You might want to anyway.  I'm really skilled at "hot meat" - that's about it. <grins>
[03:30] arynwyn: (( <snerk> Oh yes. Those words were carefully put into Mai's mouth. ))
[03:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: <shrug> Fuel for tonight's masturbatory sessions then...  
 Do you have to just say that?
 Mal: Who made me straightforward?
 <grumble> ))
[03:32] arynwyn: Mai: <grins back> I like "hot meat"... but I'll cook whatever else you want. <looks up at him, wishing he'd kiss her, but not wanting to make the move>
[03:32] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[03:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: You do realize that, given what we were just talking about, her saying she likes "hot meat" is NOT helping....well, I mean it'll help me later...
 Stop it before I gag you.  ...freaking characters, I swear.))
 Mal: Well we won't exactly have a spice rack and pantry around with us.  This isn't luxury camping, even if it might seem like it to me sometimes, what with having a fairy princess with me.
[03:35] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes> I'll bring along my own spice, then. And I can find wild vegetables and herbs. You'll be eating gourmet, I promise.
[03:36] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[03:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs> I'll be happy to eat whatever you give me.  ((Mal: Feel free to take that as you will... <gags Mal> Yeesh.)) So just keep walking, eating and smiling. <smiles at her softly>  I'll do what I can to make the trip as bearable as it can be.  And don't forget about that moonwell water I gave you....if it gets really bad.  That has to last you until we get there, so judge carefully when you really Need it.  But I'd still rather you use that than resort to bloodthistle or potions.
[03:42] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles back, looking up at him> Thank you. And the trip will be better than bearable, at least, if I can help it. As I said, I won't be a burden. I refuse. I want you to enjoy my company.
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I do.  Certainly wouldn't put myself in a position to spend an entire season with you otherwise.  <ponders possible actions at this juncture and then "tips his hat" to her> I should go gather my things and see if I can't get some more work done on your cloak.
[03:45] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little and nods> Be careful, please. I'll be waiting for you. <tries not to look disappointed at the no-kiss thing>
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((From Born Yesterday: "Why didn't you ever kiss me again?" "Well....it's complicated." "What's complicated about it?  Either you kiss me or you don't, and you didn't."))
 Mal: I told you, I'm always careful.  Don't ever fret over me. <smile, bow, and lopes off towards the kitchens, where he left his pack and bag>
[03:48] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls her cloak around her and follows him in, heading up to her room>
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I should head off and try to sleep.  I've got class and work today. >.>))
[03:50] arynwyn: ( mkay. you'll be back 6:30 or 7 my time? ))
[03:50] arynwyn: PM
[03:50] arynwyn: that's 12:30 or 1 your time.
[03:50] arynwyn: AM
[03:50] arynwyn: >.>
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Right right.  Unless I can't sleep, in which case I'll be back sooner than that ^_~  But once I leave for class, yes, I'll be back around 6:30ish your time.))
[03:51] arynwyn: mkay. <huggles> happy sleepings. I'm also going to get some much-needed sleep. :-D
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: yeah, silly girl. <huggleses> happy sleepings or else!! <grrr so scary Jen!>
[03:52] arynwyn: <giggles and runs in fright?> sleep well!
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: g'night!

[00:24] *** arynwyn wants to directly connect.
[00:24] arynwyn: <laugh>
[00:25] arynwyn: I had mini pizzas made on english muffins.
[00:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooooo
[00:25] Chaos Angel Sox: how's the day been? I've been planning evil for Mal & Mai most of the day >.>
[00:25] arynwyn: Eh, they're better on bagels, but Tim insisted upon English muffins.
[00:26] arynwyn: <laugh> Uhm... I went to bed at 10 pm last night and woke up at 4 pm today. >.>
[00:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Wow, sleepyhead! :)
[00:27] arynwyn: Yeah, I was really tired.
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Sorry to read about the dream though ~_~ I'll be in your group, 'cause I know you're smart, and not an idiot. :P
[00:27] arynwyn: Aw, thanks.
[00:28] arynwyn: I was bad. I felt so weird. I've never threatened anyone, not like that. It was just strange. >.<
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: That was the scary part o_O
[00:29] arynwyn: The only thing I have planned is for Mai to run into Bloodthistle.
[00:29] arynwyn: Yeah. <nodnod>
[00:29] arynwyn: Just a dream though. >.>
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles anyway>
[00:30] arynwyn: <huggles back> Thanks.
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: If you don't mind my hopping in and out whilst I make spiral mac, I can run the plot past you and see if you likes it or have more interesting things you want to do with it or if I messed up Mai's reaction to things in places or didn't consider it enough or what have you and such like that there.
[00:31] arynwyn: Go for it. ^^
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Keep in mind, I was alone for most of shift and we were fairly dead, so I had waaaay too much free time on my hands to concoct this crap
[00:31] arynwyn: <laugh>
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ....cat.  on head.
[00:32] arynwyn: <giggle>
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: eating hair.
[00:32] arynwyn: <pets Murphy>
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: anyway...while Murph enjoys his snack...
 
 And keep in mind a lot of this is stolen from various sources and then once I stole it I ran with it. ^_^;;  the joys of unpublished work...<cough clear throat>
[00:32] arynwyn: <laugh> Sounds good to me. ^^
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: So Mal has made this sort of implicit promise to Bren & Ren that he'll behave himself (his exact words were that Mai would "be under my complete protection" but that came from the whole "How do we know we can trust you with her?" part).  Which he strives very hard to do through the entire trip, despite many opportunities and likely some kissing and hugging.  
 
 The Druids at the Sanctuary in Felwood have a big winter festival at one point; this is how Mal marks his time there.  He shows up, stays through the festival and leaves the next day.  That's the plan.  Caught up in the joyousness and celebrations (and yes, a little alcohol, though neither of them is drunk), he and Mai sleep together.  Just that one night, and they head out the next day.  Only...she won the preggers lottery (or lost, depending on your viewpoint).
[00:36] arynwyn: ooooooooooooo!
[00:37] arynwyn: we're still RPing this, yes? >.>
[00:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Meantime, Taena's shown up at the Amir'Tor mansion.  ((Mark has told me some small things about her character; if I'm going to muck with Sasuke, might as well keep on going...))  She's happy to see Rav and all but of course she wants to know about Mai.  Rav takes her aside, explains about the addiction, etc. and where Mai is at the moment.  Taena's FURIOUS: You let her go off with some MAN...ALONE?!  ((Mark had told me that Taena was a man hater but he wouldn't tell me why 'cause he wanted to RP it.))  Rav tries to calm Tae down, but Taena's not having it.
 
 <nods> That was the plan, unless you wanna do it some other way.
[00:38] arynwyn: (( ah. ))
[00:38] arynwyn: er... minus the (( ))
[00:38] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>  More coming...
[00:38] arynwyn: okies.
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: So by the time Mal & Mai make it back, it's spring...and she's starting to show.  Taena naturally Hits the Goddamn Roof.  Bren and Ren are a little concerned as well at first, since Mal had basically said he wouldn't touch her, but Mai doesn't seem upset, so they drop it; Taena doesn't.  First chance she gets alone with Mal, she proceeds to beat the ever-lovin' snot out of him, which he tolerates: he had said he wouldn't touch her, he obviously broke that promise, he deserves punishment.  When Taena doesn't stop and starts threatening castration and death, he starts defending himself, but he's not about to beat up on Mai's sis.  Eventually he does knock her out and just disappears.  
[00:41] arynwyn: >.>
[00:41] arynwyn: a preggers drug-addict who's love just ran off = badness
[00:41] arynwyn: *whose
[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: He's gone about a month - no word, no showing up at the kitchen door for trade, no nothing.  The cook's getting pissy about no fresh honey.  When Mal does come back, he climbs a tree that's outside Mai's room at the manor and throws rocks at her window till she opens the window.  He wants to be with her, loves her and would marry her, but Taena's kind of an obstacle.  Rav's being too kind-hearted and won't toss Tae out on her ear, and of course Tae's watching Mai like a hawk all the time.
 
 He's working on getting a place made with some favors he's calling in, but it may end up having to be in Tirisfal Glades (for a long list of reasons he'll rattle off if asked), and it won't be ready until after the baby's arrived.  So he just asks her for some patience.  He also starts funneling honey to the cook through her, in addition to the other little presents he brings (he can't bring big ones; even if he had the money, he has to climb a tree to be able to talk to her).
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: That's pretty much all I've got.  I figure Tae'll catch on to these late night talks at some point, but not sure where to go with that.
[00:45] arynwyn: sounds awesome!! :-D 
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Too Much Free Goddamn Time. >.>;
[00:46] arynwyn: <giggle> I like you having free time! I feel like I've been coming up with all the ideas recently and I feel like an RP hog. >.<
[00:46] Chaos Angel Sox: feh! I like your ideas though :P
[00:46] arynwyn: Hehe, thanks. ^^
[00:46] Chaos Angel Sox: okay starting in on spiral mac now, really....
[00:46] arynwyn: okies. lemme know when you want to start the RP. ^^
[00:48] Chaos Angel Sox: pan soaking
[00:48] arynwyn: Okies.
[00:48] Chaos Angel Sox: we can start whenever so long as you're okay with my ducking in and out as necessity requires :3
[00:48] arynwyn: of course. ^^
[00:49] arynwyn: foods are good. <huggles>
[00:49] Chaos Angel Sox: oh crap hold on; I left my hoodie in the car.  if I get cold, I'll need it...and the next time the A/C comes on, I'll be cold...
[00:49] arynwyn: okies.
[00:52] Chaos Angel Sox: okay good to go....so are we starting with the two of them leaving?  I figure we can skip around through the journey to and from the Sanctuary whenever we decide something funny and/or sexy should happen?
[00:53] arynwyn: sure. like I said, the only thing I have planned is the bloodthistle thing... the first night, I think. She's going to go off to find firewood. <cough>
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh dear.  Okee....starting with the actual leavetaking or just going straight to that first night?  
[00:54] arynwyn: Uhm, either.
[00:55] arynwyn: When do we do the leg cramp thing? <giggle>
[00:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Might as well skip to nighttime - it's just going to be "Good-bye! Take care!  Be safe!  Bring back honey!" (that last one's the cook)....))
[00:55] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Kk ))
[00:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh, I'd give it a few days at least.  I have a thing I can throw in on some random night too, but not the first one.))
[00:55] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[00:56] arynwyn: (( gimme a min, sorry ))
[00:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is fine. ^_^ ))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( okies, ready ))
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woot!))
[01:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay who's to start then? <whaps fingers> TYPE!))
[01:00] arynwyn: (( <snerK> ))
[01:01] arynwyn: Mai: <sits in the swing, her few bags piled next to her. she's wearing woolen pants and a long-sleeved shirt with a vest over it. her cape is sitting on top of her bags>
[01:01] arynwyn: <her vest is tight enough to show that her womanly form has returned>
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sneaks up behind her and grabs the swing again> The fairy princess ready for her epic quest? <he asks, leaning his head over her shoulder>
[01:03] arynwyn: Mai: <grins back at him> Yes, she is. <she stands up and picks up her cape> I've said my goodbyes already, so, whenever you're ready...
[01:03] arynwyn: (( Sorry, forgot we were starting at that night. >.< ))
[01:03] arynwyn: (( You can FF if you want. =P ))
[01:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay ^_^ we do what makes the fairy princess happy ^_~))
[01:04] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[01:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((also what makes the fairy princess uncomfortable, wounded, horny or pregnant.  Those work too.))
[01:04] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <straightens up, resituating his pack and messenger bag> We've got a lot of ground to cover so might as well get started.  I'd like us to reach the borders of Eversong tonight.  We'll cross over into autumn and winter proper tomorrow.  Your fur cloak's in my pack, but you won't need it tonight, unless you want to snuggle it as you drift off to sleep.
[01:08] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and picks up her bags> Maybe. <she hoists them on her shoulders, then pulls out a pint glass jar full of herbs and spices> The cook sent this for our meals. And Thandren gave us a hundred gold.
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: GOOD GODS! <looks like he's going to fall over> Well...if we have room, we can bring back souvenirs...but more likely we'll put you up in an inn from time to time.  Fairy princesses shouldn't be sleeping out in the snow if it can be helped.
[01:10] arynwyn: (( <snerk> 'specially once she's preggers.))
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod nod nod> not that they'll know right away.  it's not like Sims ^_~ ))
[01:11] arynwyn: Mai: I know, I was stunned. I told you he was a nice guy. <smiles and puts the jar away> We'll save it for emergencies, get them a gift, then return what we have left over to him, I think. <stands ready> Lead the way.
[01:11] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I know. But... they'll figure it out, after she misses a period and all that. >.< ))
[01:12] Chaos Angel Sox: (('s true ^_^))
[01:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles at her> How do I keep forgetting about the craftiness of fairies...?  <chuckles and starts out into the woods>  We'll have to cross the river, but I know a place where a tree's fallen over it; should be sturdy enough to use as a bridge.  And I promise to rescue you from any critters foolish enough to attempt to assault you.
[01:15] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and follows him> You're forgetting I'm a mage. I'm not supposed to use magic, but... if I'm getting assaulted by a critter, I can at least freeze them in place, I think. <catches up to him and walks beside him>
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'd like to think there are mages in the world who can do what they do without increasing their magical addiction....I've yet to meet one...but you're strong enough to prove me wrong, I think. <sidelong smile>
[01:17] arynwyn: Mai: Maybe someday I will be able to go back to being a mage. A *real* mage. I really enjoyed it. But for now, I just want to get healthy again... <sighs a little>
[01:20] arynwyn: *replace with: I loved it.
[01:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shares spiral mac>))
[01:21] arynwyn: (( ooo! thanks! <munches> ))
[01:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> We'll do what we can, fairy princess.  I promise.
[01:21] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Thanks Mal. 
 
 (( FF ))
[01:22] arynwyn: (( FF? ))
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure sure :3 ))
[01:22] arynwyn: (( okies. you wanna post? ))
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((can do!))
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks at the sky> Okay, we could keep going, but there's a good clearing right over there and I'm not going to pass up a sure campsite this close to losing good light.  We did pretty well for the first day out.
[01:24] arynwyn: Mai: <nods, glancing around> Sure. Should I go find some firewood? I think I saw a dead tree a little ways back.
[01:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> That'd be good.  Even kindling would be a help; don't wander too far and let me know if you need help carrying.  You throw your back out or overtax yourself on the first day, the rest of the way there will be MISERY.  In the meantime I'll get the bedrolls set up and start to skinning those rabbits I killed earlier.  Rabbit's tasty - rabbit fur, not so much.
[01:28] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles and sets her packs down> Okay. Shouldn't take long. <she disappears into the twilight... and hasn't returned ten minutes later>
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <finishes with the second rabbit, glad they were on the small side...and looks around.  He frowns, wipes his hands off and rises to try and track her down; his eyes shift to the sky briefly.  He starts going in the direction she left in> Mairen?  Mai, I can't see a fairy of twilight at dusk...you sort of blend in... <looking around carefully even as he jokes>
[01:33] arynwyn: Mai: <iss just off the path they followed, kneeling, firewood in her lap. she sits, staring at a bloodthistle plant, not moving. she seems transfixed by it, and deaf to his words. as he approaches, he can see her reach out to the plant, but her hand stops halfway there for a moment; it's obvious she's having an internal fight. her hand moves a little closer, touching the leaves of the fern, as if carressing it>
[01:33] arynwyn: *is
[01:35] arynwyn: *caressing
[01:35] arynwyn: (( Yay for spelling. >.< ))
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stops moving and ponders his actions.  Then he walks up right behind her, drops to his knees and throws his arms around her from behind her, which conveniently pins her own arms to her body> There's my fairy princess, communing with the forest!! I thought you'd blended into the twilight and left me!! <silly melodrama; he rocks her from side to side as he hugs her>
[01:37] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks a few times and tears her eyes away from the plant. she turns to look at him, giving a light smile> Sorry... I... It just... <sighs and hugs him back, closing her eyes and saying softly> Thank you.
[01:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <whispers> Anytime, princess <into her ear softly>  C'mon...<tug tug> Rabbits need cookin' and you must bless our meagre campsite with fire before that miracle can be accomplished.  Also, if you brought the moonwell water, it's probably back in your pack, right?  I'm afraid I can't really hug the urge out of you...
[01:40] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and stands up, shifting the firewood in her arms> Yeah. That's probably a good idea. Though the hugs help more than you know. <gives a shy smile and heads back toward the camp>
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles back> Glad to hear it.  I've got a ready supply whenever you need one.  Um, do you want me to carry any of that? <reaching for the firewood as they head back>
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the song's in German and Latin. ^_^ ))
[01:43] *** arynwyn has received E Nomine - Mitternacht.wma.
[01:43] arynwyn: Mai: <hands him a few of the bigger pieces> Thanks. <piles the wood up when they get back> Should I do this the old fashioned way? Or can I... <her hands twitch as she looks down at the wood>
[01:43] arynwyn: (( Nice. ))
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay so to get on the Democratic Pary ballot (as a candidate) in South Carolina you either pay a $2,500 filing fee or get 3,000 signatures.  To get on the Republican Party ballot in South Carolina, you have to pay a $35,000 filing fee.  o_O ))
[01:45] arynwyn: (( Wow. o_o ))
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <licks his lips, thinking> Do you even know how to do it "the old fashioned" way?  If not, I'll do it tonight and show you how.
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I sense something of a discrepancy there...))
[01:48] arynwyn: Mai: <picks up a stick and starts spinning it> Yeah, I know how. My father taught us all when we were young, before the attacks. <smoke begins to snake from the wood and she piles on some dried grass, blowing on it until a fire forms. she tucks it under the pile of wood, then pulls over one of her bags, digging in it for the moonwell water. she takes a small drink, her hands shaking>

[01:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I saw the post tho that's the important part))
[01:51] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[01:52] arynwyn: (( frickin' music player was throwing a fit so I'm just now listening to that song. >.< )0
[01:52] arynwyn: *))
[01:53] arynwyn: (( sweeeeeeeeeet. :-D ))
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs> I was a spoiled city boy in my youth.  I guess I pretty much just expect it from people.  <gives a bow from his sitting position> Do forgive my assumptions.  And forgive me and my stomach begging you to work your magic on these rabbits? <wide hopeful smile and occasional glances at the skinned rabbits>
[01:56] arynwyn: Mai: No, there's no need to apologize. <she digs in her pack for the herbs and pulls the rabbits over, dumping some herbs on them and rubbing them in, then pokes a stick through them to roast them on> Here you go. I'll let you do the actual cooking, if that's okay. <she hands him the stick> Tomorrow night we'll have vegetables or something too. But... <glances over her shoulder> I proved I can't even look for firewood while I'm in Eversong, so... 
[01:56] arynwyn: (( very cool song. ^^ ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hee ^_^ ))
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Stop thinking about it.  No one expects you to change overnight, Mairen.  <holding his stick over the fire>  It's not like you can just wake up and say, "Oh gee, all better now!"
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/66382334/629901)(Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/66382334/629901)http://userpic.livejournal.com/66382334/629901 ))
[01:59] arynwyn: Mai: I know. But it's been a month and a half. I feel like I should be better by now. <goes to sit by him> And I'm not. I keep wondering if I'll ever be better... 
[01:59] arynwyn: (( Aww!! ))
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that seems like something Murph'd do...))
 
 Mal: ...easier to jump off a cliff than to climb back out. <turning rabbit on a stick - ONNA STEEEEEK! - so it doesn't burn>

[02:01] arynwyn: Mai: Mal... I didn't... <sighs and stands, walking away to look out at the woods and up at the sky, cursing herself mentally>
[02:02] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sticks his rabbit onna steeeeeek into the ground so it doesn't get dirty and follows after her> What's upsetting you?  Tell me so I can slay it and rescue you from it? <smiles wanly as he walks up next to her>
[02:05] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> Myself. I say all these stupid things to you. <turns to look at him> I'm sorry. 
[02:06] arynwyn: (( <LOL> (Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/53089757/3311304)http://userpic.livejournal.com/53089757/3311304&nbsp;-))
[02:06] arynwyn: (( even if you don't know/think the muggles part is funny, the rest cracks me up. ))
[02:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You didn't say anything stupid, Mairen.  Thus you have nothing to apologize for.  It's honestly just an expression.  And it's the truth: magical addiction is easier to cultivate than to destroy.  Just the way it is.  Don't think that just because it's hard that it'll never happen.
[02:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's cute.  dunno what muggles are but...))
[02:07] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> It's not just an expression, not coming from you Mal. <turns away> We should finish the rabbit...
[02:08] arynwyn: (( muggles are from Harry Potter... they're the non-wizard folks. :-D ))
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh okee.  I knew it was a Harry Potter term, but no one's ever 'splained to me before.))
 
 Mal: <puts a hand on her shoulder> I just don't want you to give up....like she did.  It's not going to go quick and it's not going to be easy...but I'll be here with you through the whole thing, okay?
[02:11] arynwyn: Mai: <gives him a small smile> I'm not going to give up, not like that anyway. Not when people still  believe in me. <she steps closer and gives him an impulsive hug> Not while you're here.
[02:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles and hugs her back> C'mon, my stomach's going to knock my knees out from under me. <pulls away far enough to give her a chuck under her chin again> Chin up...and let's see about cooking those rabbits you prepared so nicely.
[02:13] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods, letting him go> Sure. 
 
 (( did he undo the bedrolls and all that? ))
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> Before skinning >.>))
[02:14] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <still smiling, he heads back to the campfire, retrieves his ROS (Rabbit Onna Steeeeeeek) and resumes heating>
[02:15] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[02:16] arynwyn: Mai: <looks around at the camp> Is there anything I can while you cook?
[02:16] arynwyn: *can do
[02:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Striptease?))
 Mal: ...not that I can think of.  Unless you know good campfire songs?
[02:17] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:17] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> No, I'm afraid not. <she goes and sits next to him again, watching the meat roast> It smells really good. 
[02:18] arynwyn: (( hm... to have her wear pajamas or no? ))
[02:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<chuckles>  Mal: Depends on the pajamas...you know some kind of pajamas are purely inappropriate for sleeping outdoors...and those are the best kind.))
 Mal: Your fairy magics at work there, princess.  Anything I tried to cook wouldn't smell nearly this good. <grinning at her> I can already tell this trip's going to be the best of all of them.
[02:22] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes a little and smiles at him> You're very sweet. <she leans over and kisses his cheek, then stands and goes over to her pack to dig around in it. she tugs out a thin nightgown> I'm going to change. I figure since I'm going to have a fur cloak to keep me warm, I'll go ahead and wear a nightgown to bed. 
[02:23] arynwyn: (( Mai: ..a fur cloak and a man... <grin> ))
[02:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <eyes the nightgown and clears his throat>  Umm....okay....<He stands, walks around the fire, and sits down so his back is now to her but he can still watch the meat> I promise not to peek.  <think: I'll just use my imagination...whether or not I should> I'd rather not have you try and change behind a tree and then get mauled by a lynx or something 'cause you wandered too far from the fire.
[02:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Lady, I like the way you think....))
[02:27] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles a little and begins to strip, her back to him despite the fact that he turned away from her. she slips the nightgown over her head; it's thin, goes down to just above her knees, and has thin straps; also, it's rather tight>
[02:27] arynwyn: (( er, there's more ))
[02:27] arynwyn: Mai: <stuffs her clothes into her bag and goes back over to sit by him>
[02:27] arynwyn: (( <grin> Yay! ))
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <tries to ignore the rustling of clothing coming off, but that's not working so well.  He focuses his gaze on the roasting meat until she sits next to him; he gives her a sidelong glance before double-taking; he's so very NOT looking at her face.  Instead, he's taking in all the skin he can see and the barely clad curves he (technically) can't> ... ... ...um...?
[02:31] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes a little and wraps her arms around her knees> Um? Do you... want me to change back?... <she stares at the meat>
[02:31] arynwyn: (( The RABBIT meat! <LOL> ))
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Drat.))
[02:33] arynwyn: (( Well, considering she thinks you don't like it... >.> ))
[02:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ... ... ...<seems to be of two minds on this...or maybe his brain's shut down.  Actually, forget the maybe.  It takes him a bit to reroute the blood back to his brain (as opposed to where it had been headed)> ...it's...<closes his eyes to help him think>...it's fine for now, but we might want to find you something...warmer when we start dealing with proper winter.  Fur cloak or not, you'll die of hypothermia.  <when he opens his eyes again, they immediately resume their fine, detailed inspection of her body>
[02:38] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes again> Well, we... <shakes her head> After tonight, I won't wear it again. If you don't want me to. <bites her bottom lip>
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: No! <said a bit too quickly; he blushes slightly and clears his throat> I just...don't want you to catch your death.  Even with the cloak...which reminds me...not that I want you to cover up...<this last part is said low and quiet enough that he believes she can't hear it; he stands and goes to his pack.  After some rooting around, he pulls out a hooded cloak: it's fur-lined leather.  The leather is black and the fur is silver fox, very soft.  He holds it draped across his arms and crosses back to her, kneeling down with his offering> Is it fit for a fairy princess?  The leather'll help keep the snow, rain and wind at bay ((cat on head....argh)), and of course nice soft fur to keep you warm. <smile>
[02:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggles> So, some customer left a kitten on the Geek Squad desk.  >.>  The girl at Geek Squad who took it home with her named it Tweak. :3 ))
[02:45] arynwyn: Mai: <gasps and stands, pulling the cloak from his arms and wrapping it around her> It's gorgeous! <she snuggles into it, smiling happily, for a moment, then pulls it back off to look it over. she folds it up neatly, then gives him a long, tight hug> Thank you so much. I love it.
[02:45] arynwyn: (( Aww!! ))
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((somehow that just struck me as the most adorable kitten name evar in that moment...))
[02:46] arynwyn: (( It is!! ))
[02:46] arynwyn: (( specially if the cat is a spaz. <giggle> ))
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <think: Oh god, she's hugging me while wearing the...handkerchief.  He hesitates before resting his arms around her in a hug> ...I'm glad.  I had a friend help me with it; my leatherworking skills are...well, practically non-existent ((He'd be herb/skin in the actual game)). <think: Think ice thoughts.  Winter.  Cold.  Iiiiiccee...>
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers> Maybe I should've named Murph that...))
[02:49] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[02:50] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles up at him, then leans up to kiss him gently for a moment> 
[02:52] arynwyn: (( <giggle> The best part about Mai is that she's too innocent to realize what she's doing to him. :-D ))
[02:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <think: Ice. Winter. Cold.  He returns the kiss softly for all his impassioned sub-zero thinking, then smiles when he pulls away...and then remembers> Oh, dinner! <practically dives to check on the rabbits; they're a little..well done on one side, but it's mostly the skin that's burnt; he turns them with a relieved sigh (relieved for more than one reason...)>
 
 ((<giggles> Excellent.
 Mal: ;__; me and my stupid promises....))
[02:55] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles back and chuckles as he runs over, then sets the cloak on her bedroll before going back to sit next to him> Are they finished? I'm starving...
[02:56] arynwyn: (( Mal, you never promised to keep her virtuous. Only to protect her. They're two different things, no? <snerk> ))
[02:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Just about.  Give it another minute on this side.  <studying rabbit flesh rather than hot sin'dorei woman flesh>
 
 ((Mal: Not in this context. <sighs>  And do you have any idea how long it's been?))
[02:59] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and leans back to look up at the sky, resting on her arms, which pushes her chest out (totally innocent, I swear)> 
 
 (( <snerk> Nope. How long? )
[02:59] arynwyn: *))
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Um....<stops to try and count> Well crap, now I don't remember....))
 
 Mal: <tosses a glance skyward in a silently plea for aid before he closes his eyes and stifles a sigh; he shifts uncomfortably and readjusts how he's sitting.  After a minute of pondering the depth and breadth of icy cold winter streams, he checks the rabbits> Okay, we should be good to go here...<think: Phrasing, Malseir...learn to goddamn pick your phrasing...; he clears his throat and offers her a ROS while somehow managing to find something else to look at>
[03:04] arynwyn: Mai: Excellent. <she takes the rabbit and bites into it, juices running down her chin and dripping on her chest> Oops... <she wipes at it, giggling, then resumes eating> This is fantastic... Mmm...
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: o_O <begins pondering excuses to get off by himself for a bit> ... ... ...your doing, princess.  <eats quietly and tries not to watch her every move in helplessly mounting desperation>
[03:08] arynwyn: Mai: <continues eating, stripping about half the rabbit of it's meat and flesh, then sighs and holds the stick out for him> Do you want the rest? I'm full. <she licks her lips>
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes his head, in a sort of daze, staring at her and not at the remaining ROS; he still has a good chunk of his left.  He blinks himself out of his trance and forces words out> ...hold onto it for meals tomorrow.  It'll last a day or two if you wrap it right.  It's why I put so much cheesecloth on the list.
[03:12] arynwyn: Mai: Oh, right. <she stands and goes over to her pack and pulls out a piece, then wraps up the meat, then tucks it in her bag. she stands and stretches> I suppose I should try to sleep then... <she looks back at him and smiles> Are you going to bed too? Or are you staying up a while?
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "Do you have a microwave that cools things down?" ))
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I worry about our youth...))
[03:14] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[03:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <think: I'll be up for a while yet..; cough clear throat> Um...Go ahead, I'm just going to...uh...<points with his thumb behind him, as if that explained everything>...see to some things before I bed down.
[03:16] arynwyn: Mai: <gives him a funny look, but then smiles and nods> Okay. Goodnight, then. <she picks up the cloak and wraps it around her, then lays down and closes her eyes>
[03:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((crap we're talking about sleep again.... >.>  Mal: I am NOT talking about sleep, trust me...))
 
 Mal: <manages a sort of strangled "Good night" as she wraps herself up, then rolls up the rest of his rabbit in cloth, tucks it away and strolls as quickly as he can away from the campfire to see about relieving himself some. >.> ))
[03:18] Chaos Angel Sox: > even
[03:18] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Are you tired hon? ))
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah.  I wasn't until...about 20 minutes ago. >.>  I'd thought the sugar and caffeine would help, but alas, they seem to have hastened my crashing. ~_~ ))
[03:20] arynwyn: (( aww. sleep when you need to. do you work tomorrow? ))
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/63602568/9054198)(Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/63602568/9054198)http://userpic.livejournal.com/63602568/9054198  Nope, but I do have Brisco County Jr.-ness with Matt & maybe Lisa.  Dunno when that'll start; have to check with Matt and see when he wants visitors, but it won't go must past 4 pm your time.  And I'll be on before that.  I'm thinking 4 or 5 hours sleep for right now and maybe a nap again later.))
[03:24] arynwyn: (( okay. well... I'd nap now but I slept for 18 hours... dunno what I'm going to do. oh well. sleep well. <huggles> ))
[03:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sims? <huggles>))
[03:24] arynwyn: (( Maybe. Or bug Tim until he goes to bed. =P ))
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooo! I vote for that.  <gives Sarah silly string> 
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[03:25] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Woo! ))
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Have fun whatever you do and I'll poke atcha when I get back....heh, I don't even have to change the away message this time ~_~; ))

[09:19] arynwyn: Stupid AIM crashed just as you logged on too. >.>
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Me know. Me sorry.  <droopy ears>
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah AIM's being dodgy <whaps it again>
[09:19] arynwyn: Aww. No droopy! <perks ears back up>
[09:20] arynwyn: <pokety>
[09:20] arynwyn: <poke poke poke>
[09:21] arynwyn: I posted on LJ. I wrote most of what is on there, then it crashed and when I restored it from the saved place, it was almost all gone... made me cry.
[09:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ;__;  But what's here is really good!
[09:21] arynwyn: Eh, not really.
[09:22] arynwyn: Heh, fleshed out Mya's guy a little more. Don't have a name yet though... Wanted his last name Darkblade, then realized Mya's last name is Duskblade. >.>
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Yes really! You will believe me or there will be no chocolate molten lava cake for you!!!
[09:22] arynwyn: o_o
[09:22] arynwyn: I believe!! <claps her hands> I believe!
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Ahhh the power of the chocolatey goodness.
[09:22] arynwyn: <nodnodnodnodnodnod>
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: I really ought to be considering healthier alternatives for brekkies....
[09:23] arynwyn: Pfft. =P
[09:24] arynwyn: So, I'm ready for RP when you're awake. I've been ready for... long time. >.<
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Keeping a lady waiting....shame on you!
 Me: <arches an eyebrow> Charise? Aren't you waiting on something from Jaes? Hmmm?
[09:25] arynwyn: Char: <blink> I am? ...sex?
[09:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Me: 'Zactly!  See.
 Jaes: <ignores me>
[09:26] arynwyn: <throws herself at Jaes> Take me instead! 
[09:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <blink> Ah, the curse of being popular....
 Lore: You know, I'm actually kind of glad I'm not him....
 Ash: Wow, you have changed.  I'll have to find something extra nice to do for Arianna.
 Mal: ...um, I don't know any of these people.  Why am I even talking?
[09:28] arynwyn: <blinks at all the guys> I've died and gone to heaven... <proceeds to execute each with death by snoo snoo!>
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...not complaining.
 the other three guys: O_O
[09:29] arynwyn: <laugh>
[09:30] arynwyn: :-D
[09:30] arynwyn: So, you wanna get back to Mal & Mai? Or someone else? Or wait?
[09:31] Chaos Angel Sox: I'll duck out to gather something resembling food at some point, but other than that I'm good to go. and we can head back to the intrepid questers or do Hallie's return or whatevah.
[09:31] arynwyn: whichever. you pick.
[09:31] arynwyn: Only thing Hal's got is throwing a fit. >.> Though there's an interesting tidbit in there. ^^
[09:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo okay now I'm curious about that.
[09:32] arynwyn: <snerk>
[09:32] arynwyn: Okies.
[09:32] arynwyn: Hal: <storms into the guild hall and stomps up the stairs to the room she shares with Ash>
[09:33] arynwyn: (( Drat. This is the same color I've been using for Mairen. >.> ))
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: ZzzzZzzzzZzzz <still nakey in bed>
[09:33] arynwyn: Hal: <steps in and slams the door> 
[09:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((eh, I realized the color I'm using for Mal is the original color I had for Keth too.  Doesn't matter.  We're so limited in colors anyway.))
[09:34] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[09:35] arynwyn:  Hal: <steps in and slams the door>
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <bolts upright> Wha...?! <blinkity blink blink> Hallie? <moves to sit on the edge of the bed> What's wrong?
[09:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Murph just knocked over my birth control pills; good thing he can't really do them any harm.  But still...the idea of a cat on birth control.... >.> Not that he needs it; that problem was taken care of a loooong time ago))
[09:37] arynwyn: Hal: You're still in bed? <sighs> Sorry. <she chucks the bag of money down on the floor and kicks off her shoes> Guess you haven't seen my note then, huh?
[09:37] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Wow. )0
[09:37] arynwyn: *))
[09:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <looks around and sees the parchment on the bed; he flips it open and reads it> ...oh.  I take it whatever you went to take care of didn't go well? <he frowns up at her>
[09:38] arynwyn: Hal: <shrugs> She's dead, that's what matters right? <starts pacing>
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: She's....oh the execution was today, wasn't it? I..um...thought that'd make you happy?
[09:42] arynwyn: Hal: <kicks the bag of gold> She sold my parents' house. She fucking SOLD it. I got fifty gold. That's not even enough to buy you an engagement ring! <she raises her fist to punch the wall>
[09:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <tosses the covers off and goes over to her, taking her fist in both his hands and kissing the back of it> I don't need jewelry; I have you.  ...but I'm sorry to hear about your parents' house.
[09:44] arynwyn: Hal: <struggles against him for a moment, then sighs> It's the only thing I wanted. And she sold it. <buries her face in his neck, but she's still trembling with rage> I wanted to come back here with something for you. For us... But I didn't. I have nothing. NOTHING. 
[09:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <holds her tightly> You have me.  And I have you.  I don't really need anything else.
 
 ((I love how you take this "engagement ring" thing in stride, Ash...
 Ash: <shrugs> You think I wasn't thinking similarly?))
[09:48] arynwyn: Hal: <pulls away> No, Ash... I wanted to get married. I wanted to ask you to marry me, but I can't. I can't afford the ring, let alone a whole wedding. Gods... <she goes to the window, tapping her head on it repeatedly as she looks out at the rain>
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <studies her for a minute> You know that I can afford it, right?  Well, that Mother can.  <walks up and places his hands on the window sill on either side of her, effectively trapping her; he kisses her neck briefly>
[09:51] arynwyn: Hal: <laughs bitterly> The mother that hates me, without even meeting me. Yeah, good luck with that Ash. <sighs> It was stupid of me to dream. This happens every time. Every Time. <shakes her head> I'm such a fool...
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: She doesn't hate you; she hasn't met you.  <sighs> No, you're not the woman Mother would've chosen for me, but it's my choice, not hers.  I'm sort of lucky that way, compared to some of our friends.  And honestly, at this point, she should be damn glad I met someone I want to marry at all.  <kisses her neck and sort of lightly rests his head on her shoulder> It's not stupid to dream, Hallie.  And you're no more a fool than I am, for falling in love and wanting to spend the rest of our time together.
[09:56] arynwyn: Hal: <turns around and kisses him gently> I love you. I just... I wanted to get married and live in my parents' house and have children... <sighs and snuggles into his arms> My sister ruined so many parts of my life...
[09:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <snuggle nuzzle huggle - being cute (and still naked) in general> I could ask Mother to look into it?  Maybe it's still possible?
[09:59] arynwyn: Hal: No, Ash... I don't think that's a good idea. I'm not the ideal daughter-in-law to her, and I don't want to ask for favors. Especially something like buying a house. <snuggle nuzzle huggle back>
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: You're not asking, I am.  <smooching her cheek>
[10:03] arynwyn: Hal: <smiles a little> Do what you think is necessary. <she pulls away and begins to strip off clothes, tossing them on the floor> I'm tired. Too much anger does that to me. Wanna go back to bed? <as she nakefies>
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: Silly question...<watching her disrobe>
[10:04] arynwyn: Hal: <grins back at him and crawls into bed, naked> Mmm... c'mon then. <snuggles into the blankets>
[10:05] arynwyn: (( switching over to Mal & Mai? ^^ ))
[10:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <burrows in under the covers from the foot of the bed and kisses random (innocent) parts of her until he comes out the other side>
 
 ((Sure :) ))
[10:06] arynwyn: Hal: <giggles and pushes him off of her, then sets about making him :-D :-D :-D >
[10:06] arynwyn: (( mkay, you wanna post? Mal'd have to wake Mai up... if we're starting the next morning, that is. ))
[10:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Ash: <happy delighted Ash noises>
 
 Hmmm...yeah lets do wakey wakey first. :)  Okay Mal, get 'er up.
 Mal: Well at least it's a switch from her getting me up...
[10:08] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[10:08] arynwyn: (( new Mai color. ))
[10:08] arynwyn: (( or this... ))
[10:08] arynwyn: (( barely different, but oh well ))
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <went to sleep wearing only his boots and pants; as the sun rises, he stirs with a slight groan.  He blinks across the campsite at Mai on her bedroll as he sits up and stretches>
[10:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((they're all good. ^_^ ))
[10:10] arynwyn: Mai: <sleeping peacefully, her face buried in her fur cloak against the sun>
[10:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Do you know who wrote Ivanhoe fanfiction where Rowena was a ho and died of ho-related causes and Ivanhoe went off and married Rebecca? 
 CO-WORKER: No. 
 SARAH: William Thackeray! Isn't that interesting?))
[10:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I want to find this and read it....))
[10:13] arynwyn: (( ?? ))
[10:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stands and crosses over to her, squatting down to shake her shoulder gently> Wake-up call, fairy princess.
[10:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ivanhoe should totally have married Rebecca.  But noooooo....pissed me off so much))
[10:15] arynwyn: Mai: <rolls away from him, one hand going up and out as if to protest, only it lands in his crotch> Mmh.... not yet... 
[10:15] arynwyn: (( never read it. >.< ))
[10:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's good, and much more readable than a lot of other fiction of that period >.> ))
[10:16] arynwyn: (( cool. I'll have to read it then. ^^ )0
[10:16] arynwyn: *))
[10:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stifles a very unmanly eep! as he blushes and backs away; he clears his throat> Sorry, princess.  Wake up on your own or I'll have to wake you up: these are your choices.
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The whole thing is kind of fanfiction now that I think about it: I mean, King Richard's in it, and Robin Hood...it's like a Mary Sue fanfic made good.))
[10:18] arynwyn: Mai: <mumbles something incoherent and snuggles deeper into her cloak. she's mostly awake now, but this "I'll have to wake you up" has her intrigued...>
[10:18] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Nice. ))
[10:19] arynwyn: (( Mai: I'm just hoping he doesn't dump cold water on me... >.< ))
[10:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs and leaves.  He returns a short time later...and icy cold begins to drip on her face>
 
 ((Dump? No, not yet.  He starts off slow....))
[10:19] arynwyn: (( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ))
[10:20] arynwyn: Mai: <squeals and sits up, wiping at her face>
[10:20] arynwyn: (( LAME. Was supposed to wake her with a KISS. >.> ))
[10:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heheh)) 
 Mal: <smiles down at her, holding an obviously full water skin> Good choice.  Next step is my dumping the rest of this water on you....last step if you still won't wake up...well, hopefully we never get there.  We're eating breakfast on the road.  C'mon.  <he turns and starts dismantling the campsite, even though he hasn't finished getting dressed yet>
[10:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL> THIS is the truest thing I may have ever read:
 "The problem with the cuteness of kittens is that it suckers you in, and then you end up with a cat who just looks at you funny and shits in a box." ))
[10:23] arynwyn: Mai: <scowls at his back, then pulls herself out of her bedroll. she begins to change, without warning him first>
[10:24] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> NO JOKE. ))
[10:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <messing with campfire, doing something else, happens to turn around....> O_O ... ... ... <turns back around quickly, face crimson and clears his throat...then tries to find something to do over in this direction away from the mostly naked, incredibly attractive woman.  He sort of dithers around, trying to look like he's doing something necessary>
[10:30] arynwyn: Mai: <finishes dressing, then begins to fold up her bedroll. she stuffs everything in her pack, then stands> What else? All my stuff is ready.
[10:30] arynwyn: (( Torturing him is too much fun. <giggle> ))
[10:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Torturing all of them is fun :3 ))
 Mal: Umm...<chances a glance over and is relieved (though a tad disappointed) to see her dressed again.  He pulls a shirt out of his back and pulls it on.  He looks around>...should be about it.  <buttoning his shirt up>  Soon as I'm decent <think: subtle hint> we'll head out.  How'd you sleep?
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: *out of his pack.  He doesn't keep shirts in his back >_O
[10:35] arynwyn: Mai: Well enough. I'm a bit sore today. <rubs her neck> But I should be okay. <she sits down on a log and yawns> I could have slept another few hours though. That's going to be hard to get used to. <smiles at him, watching him button his shirt... and wishing he wouldn't>
[10:35] arynwyn: (( <chuckle> I figured. ))
[10:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'll keep waking you up, don't worry. <tucks his shirt in and pulls his own fur cloak out; it's similar to hers, only it's worn brown leather and brown fur>  You'll want that cloak handy, though don't put it on just yet.  It's late autumn outside Eversong; it may have started snowing in places, but we'll see.  <He rearranges his pack so it's on top>
[10:39] arynwyn: Mai: <digs through her pack to make sure it's handy> I have a woolen skirt to put on over my pants if I get too cold. And a jacket. <sheepish> I wasn't sure how cold it'd get, and better safe than sorry, right?
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> Definitely. <shoulders his pack> C'mon then, princess.  Miles to go before we sleep.  <heads out>
[10:41] arynwyn: Mai: <hoists her bags up and follows after him>
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  So, I feel I should warn you...out of necessity, we're going to have to cross through some very dangerous territory.
[10:45] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I figured as much. I can fight if I need to. I know I shouldn't, but... if it comes right down to it, I can. 
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  Whether you need to fight or not, you'll stick close to me.  The Plaguelands aren't welcoming to anyone, not even fairy princesses.
[10:48] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and moves closer, paling at the thought of the Plaguelands> I've heard... terrible things about the Plaguelands. <she shivers>
[10:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <puts a hand on her shoulder> I'll make sure nothing happens to you.  But...the only other way to get to where we need to go is...through the Spire.  And that might prove to be more dangerous...for both of us.
[10:51] arynwyn: Mai: <pales even more> The Spire?... Oh gods... <she stops walking> No, I... I can't... Mal, please... There's got to be another way. <her eyes show how panicked she is>
[10:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> The other way is the Plaguelands.  I go through there every year with minimal....fuss.  We stick to the trails I know, we should encounter relatively few Scourge. <he smiles at her> I won't let anything happen to you.  I promise.
[10:53] arynwyn: (( Oh, crap. I misunderstood... and now Mairen looks stupid. Dammit, I hate it when that happens. >.< ))
[10:54] arynwyn: (( Blargh. ))
[10:54] arynwyn: (( dammit. can we rewrite? >.> ))
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure))
[10:54] arynwyn: (( thanks. >.< ))
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She doesn't look stupid.  She looks frightened.  whish is understandable))
[10:55] arynwyn: (( yeah, but... I/she misunderstood what you/he said. I missed the "only other way" thing... eh, I can leave it I suppose. ))
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Rewrite if you want.  It's your call :) ))
[10:56] arynwyn: Mai: <starst walking again> Okay. <takes a deep breath to calm herself> The Plaguelands it is. <keeps her head down>
[10:56] arynwyn: (( eh. ))
[10:57] arynwyn: *starts
[10:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<sneaky pounce huggles>!))
[10:57] arynwyn: (( O_o <huggles and laughs> ))
[11:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Fear not, my princess!  <stops walking to drop to one knee and posture valiantly> Your devoted knight will slay any fearsome creature that might dare to threaten you!! <melodrama>
[11:01] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks, then giggles a little> My devoted knight, hm? <she leans down close and kisses him gently> I like the sound of that. <she pulls away and offers her hand to help him up, smiling>
[11:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles and stands without taking her hand> Every princess, fairy or otherwise, needs a devoted knight to slay fearsome creatures.  It's a requirement.  I'm not the best knight in the land, but until we can find you better, I'll do my best to be of service. <resumes walking>
[11:04] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I wouldn't want anyone else, Mal. <slips a hand into his, smiling up at him>
[11:10] arynwyn: (( <pokety?> ))
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry, was talking with Joe about this article on sex offenders in this Florida trailer park))
[11:11] arynwyn: (( oh, okay. sorry. >.< ))
[11:12] Chaos Angel Sox: 
 ((Is okay <hugses>  You know me, randomly distracted by shiny objects and the word "sex".  I'm like a ferret.))
 Mal: <chuckles> Okay, less talking, more walking: we should be near the Plaguelands border tonight...not right on it, but within a decent distance.
[11:12] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[11:13] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and quickens her pace> Sorry. Talking is something I seem to be good at. <sheepish again>
[11:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're a wonderful conversationalist.  But we want to make sure we get to the Sanctuary well in advance of the Midwinter Festival.
[11:15] arynwyn: Mai: <nods again> I'll shush up then. <smile>
[11:15] arynwyn: <and she does, indeed, fall silent>
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Walky walky walky))
[11:16] arynwyn: (( FF to whenever you want. ^^ ))
[11:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm....should we do leg cramp thing or my some other night thing? <giggle>))
[11:18] arynwyn: (( <snerk> either. leg cramp thing might be fun, though I'm dying of curiousity as to what this other thing is... ))
[11:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<flips a coin> Either way, it's probably a couple days after this one....we can do them on the same day if you want. ^_^))
[11:19] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk... so do the cramp thing first? ))
[11:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[11:20] arynwyn: Mai: <after walking a couple of hours, she suddenly drops to one knee, her face scrunched up in pain> ...wow, ouch... 
[11:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stops quickly and turns back to her> Mairen? <comes over and kneels next to her> Are you okay?
[11:22] arynwyn: Mai: <hisses air through her teeth instead of breathing> ...leg... cramp... <her eyes are squeezed shut and she's attempted to rub the back of her right thigh>
[11:23] arynwyn: *attempting
[11:23] arynwyn: (( Ugh, stupid typos. >.< ))
[11:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks around> Come on....<picks her up carefully and carries her away from the path, so they're back behind some trees> ...get your pants off and we'll see what we can do.  <sighs> I suppose I am pushing kind of hard...
[11:27] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head and pulls her pants off, blushing> No, I'm just weak. I'll... get better, soon. I'm sorry. <jaw clenched from pain>
[11:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're out of practice, not weak.  <think: focus more on cramp and less on leg...nice, shapely leg...; cough clear throat.> Your right leg, yes?
[11:31] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and lays back on the ground, breathing hard. she shivers a little despite herself>
[11:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <slides his hand onto her thigh, massaging briefly> This where it is?  <think: Soft skin...and very shapely...stop stop, focus focus>
[11:34] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> No, further up. The back of my thigh. <closes her eyes and tries to ignore how sexy this is. if only she weren't in pain...>
[11:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oh. <slides his hand down and around to the back of her thigh and rubs carefully> This where it hurts then? <think: Keep your hands to the task at hand...course this is...distracting enough>
[11:38] arynwyn: Mai: <lets out a groan> Yeah, that's it... harder... a little lower... <which would bring him right close to her ass>
[11:39] arynwyn: (( so hungry... but I dunno what to make. >.< ))
[11:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <moves his hand as directed and massages her skin, not sure whether closing his eyes is a good idea or not.  On one hand, then he doesn't have an eyeful of her; on the other, then everything in him focuses on the feel of her instead.  He tries to regulate his breathing, but that's not turning out so good.  He licks his lips> ...feeling any better? <he manages to sound...mostly normal>
[11:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Can you give me some help here, Mal?
 Mal: Sorry....brain not working....))
[11:43] arynwyn: (( <snerk> ))
[11:45] arynwyn: Mai: <groans again> Yeah.... much better... <think: But don't stop... Please, don't stop...; she shivers again, and since her eyes are closed, she's focused on the feel of him... which is very good> 
[11:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <keeps rubbing the cramp out, even after it should've been long worked out> We should...rest for a bit then....<he keeps looking at her thighs>
[11:51] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and opens her eyes, looking up at him and blushing again> ...thank you... <she sits up far enough to kiss him hard, her arms wrapping around his neck and pulling him close>
[11:51] arynwyn: (( Mai: <giggle> Hey, I didn't promise anyone anything. ~_^ ))
[11:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: ;__; ))
[11:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <think: This is...unexpected...and very nice...; he holds her, which conveniently gets his hand off her leg.  Of course, there is still the problem of his lips pressed against hers...and the fact that he doesn't really consider that a problem.>
[11:57] arynwyn: Mai: <deepens the kiss, pressing her body against his, which, considering the position they started in, means he is in between her legs. she refuses to pull away from him, continuing to kiss him for a long while>
[12:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ... ... ...<think: ...mmm, this might not be the best idea...; he pulls away regretfully> We should...umm...<clears his throat and sits up>....I'm glad the...your leg...it's...nice...um...I'm glad it works...er...it's feeling better. <cough clear throat think: You can do better than that.  Recover, man, recover!>
[12:02] arynwyn: Mai: <lets him go, blushing furiously. she looks at everything except him> ...yeah... thanks for... for the massage... I mean... for massaging my leg... <chews on her bottom lip> 
[12:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <isn't looking anywhere but at her> You should...probably put your pants back on now...<said with obvious regret; think: Sometimes being a good, decent, moral man is very very hard.  Err...bad choice of phrasing.> Before someone passes by and thinks I'm some highwayman who waylaid you to do take pernicious advantage of you.
[12:06] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and picks up her pants, tugging them on slowly, also obviously regretfully. think: I need to have more leg cramps... Hmmm....>
[12:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he stands and offers her his hand to help her up>
[12:08] arynwyn: Mai: <takes his hand and stands up, smiling lightly> So.. shall we continue then?...
[12:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <kisses the back of her hand gallantly> If you're sure you're up to it now, princess.
[12:11] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes again and nods> I'll try, at least. We need to press on, if we're going to make it to the border. <she squeezes his hand gently>
[12:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> That's my princess.  Come on.
 
 
 ((<giggles> You know, I almost feel sorry for him...))
[12:12] arynwyn: (( awww... me too. and if Mairen finds out about that promise, she's going to be pissed... "I'm a grown woman, I think I can make decisions like that on my own, thankyouverymuch!" ))
[12:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oops. <laughs>  Nighttime?))
[12:13] arynwyn: (( sure sure. ^^ ))
[12:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <has gone to sleep early tonight, worn out by all the romance and, more importantly, sex he's been busily keeping at arm's length.  He tosses in his bedroll.>
[12:17] arynwyn: (( should she be awake still? ))
[12:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Either that or she wakes up here in a sec ^_^ ))
[12:18] arynwyn: (( okies... I'll have her awake. ))
[12:18] arynwyn: Mai: <lays in her bedroll, unable to fall asleep. her leg is twinging a little and her mind is busy wandering over the high points of the day... like making out>
[12:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he groans and rolls back over again; he's still shirtless but more importantly, he has a sort of pained expression on his face>
[12:20] arynwyn: Mai: <turns over to look at him, wondering if he's having a nightmare. she decides that if he is, she'll wake him up...>
[12:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <seems to be groping for something; his breathing's harsh>
[12:22] arynwyn: Mai: <continues to watch, concern on her face, but she waits, unsure what to do>
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <after a bit more groping and tossing, he bolts upright, eyes wide, sweating a little even> ...Tera! <he groans and scrubs a hand back into his hair, still trying to catch his breath.
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: > even
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: > and in Mal's color
[12:26] arynwyn: Mai: <sits up as well, then crawls over to him slowly> Mal?... <she pus a hand on his arm>
[12:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <jerks a little when she touches him, then looks at her> ...sorry, did I...<runs a hand over his face> did I wake you?
[12:28] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head, still looking corcerned> No, I haven't been asleep yet. Are you alright? <she sits down neck to him> Did you have a nightmare?
[12:29] arynwyn: *next >.>
[12:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> I...have them less than I used to, but there are still some nights... I should've warned you.
[12:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I was gonna say: where's YOUR brain at? ^_~  Btw, did you ever figure out food?))
[12:29] arynwyn: Mai: Was it... about your sister?... 
[12:30] arynwyn: (( yep. choc chip eggos and a breakfast hot pocket, :-D ))
[12:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woo!))
[12:31] arynwyn: (( not really healthy, but fast and filling. ))
[12:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> I...didn't quite explain everything to your family...
 
 ((healthy? I had chocolate cake for breakfast. ^_^; ))
[12:31] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[12:31] arynwyn: Mai: <brushes some hair out of his face> Do you want to talk about it? 
[12:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I...I guess.  <but then he falls silent>
[12:33] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs a little and moves around behind him to massage his neck and shoulders> You don't have to. Talking always helps me feel better, but I know that's not the case for everyone. <she kisses just behind his ear> If you just want to try and sleep again, that's fine.
[12:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes his head> It'll be awhile before I can sleep again.  When I dream about Tera, it pretty much wrecks the rest of my night. <sighs heavily and leans into the massage> I...I didn't lie, you understand, but I didn't see any point in going into details that weren't...really relevant.  I upset you enough the first time as it was...
[12:36] arynwyn: Mai: <continues to massage him> I upset myself. I felt so stupid, I had said so many stupid things to you. Assumed I was the only one with problems. <sighs again> But... I'd like to hear it, if you want to share. 
[12:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You didn't do anything stupid.  Honestly.  <exhale> ...Well, like I said, Tera and I had always been close.  She was my protector, my guide.  She taught me what she knew, helped me out when I had trouble of any kind.  She was even starting to teach me magic.  
[12:38] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and slides her hands across his shoulders, continuing to rub gently> 
[12:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: So then she faced what she was becoming.  You see, I was the heir.  I didn't have to be a mage, but...it was heavily expected.  She had every right to suppose that I'd soon be under the same pressure she was, if not even more, because of my status.  In her mind, the only way to save herself was to die...and if it was the only way for her, it was...the only way for me, too.  She honestly believed she was protecting me still...
[12:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((blatantly stolen from Neon Genesis Evangelion....but still...))
[12:42] arynwyn: Mai: She... expected you to die too?... <a little confused, she continues to rub, moving up to his neck>
[12:42] arynwyn: (( haha. ))
[12:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: She didn't just expect it.  Before she jumped off the cliff...she pushed me.  I got pretty beat up, but I managed to grab hold of the cliff face.  And then I saw her fall.  I heard her hit.  <he looks pale and sick>  I looked down and saw her there, and then I looked away and closed my eyes, and just held on.  I didn't try to climb up - I couldn't move.  I was afraid I'd fall too if I tried to do anything.  If someone hadn't come along a couple hours later, I might've fallen anyway when I got tired.  But I was too afraid and too upset to do anything but cling there and cry.  <hangs his head>
[12:47] arynwyn: Mai: Gods, Mal... <she slides her arms around him and hugs him tight> I'm so sorry... That's so awful... <she begins to cry quietly> 
[12:48] arynwyn: (( poor Mal! <sniff> ))
[12:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...afterwards, the family said she was sick, she was weak, she was crazy.  They said terrible things about her, but they didn't seem to understand: she was nothing more than what they'd made her.  They blamed her and never themselves.  That's when I left.  <he sighs>  For a long time, I had a terrible fear of heights, and I'd have nightmares like this every night.  Tera pushes me harder so I can't grab the cliff face, or she falls on me and knocks me off...sometimes I dream she comes back from the dead to finish what she started.  But I got over my fear of heights, and the nightmares are pretty rare now... I honestly hoped I wouldn't have one during this trip.  I...didn't really want you to see me like this.
 
 ((Heh, it's actually worse in the anime, I think...))
[12:53] arynwyn: Mai: <slips around until she's in front of him, off to one side, so she take his hands and look up into his eyes> You have nothing to be ashamed of. You've seen me at my worst, or near it. <shakes her head> Please, don't think anything of it. <she touches his cheek gently, her hand trembling a little>
[12:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...just promise not to push me off of anything high, and I think I'll be okay. <smiles wanly at her>  ((Heh, and remember, he's the one who said "It's easier to jump off a cliff than climb back up" >.>))
[12:58] arynwyn: (( >.< ))
[12:58] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little> That's an easy promise to make. <she leans in and kisses him gently, then hugs him tightly again>
[13:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <holds her, dropping his head into the hollow between her neck and shoulder and nuzzling in for comfort> Thanks, Mairen <he breathes against her skin ((she still wearing the "handkerchief" as he calls it?))
[13:00] arynwyn: (( Yes. ))
[13:00] arynwyn: (( posting more or is that all? ))
[13:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that covers all the territory I wanted to cover with that.  I was just making sure she has skin there for him to breathe on ^_^;)0
[13:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[13:02] arynwyn: (( ah, okay. =P ))
[13:02] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and strokes his hair> Of course. Of course, Mal. <kisses his temple>
[13:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <closes his eyes and enjoys the feel of her in his arms, of being held by her in return> You're good at comforting...
[13:05] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and continues to stroke his hair> Thank you. My mother... she was good at it too. I learned it from her, I think. And Suravi. <rubs his back with her other hand>
[13:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're good at other things too....and I'm sure you didn't learn them all from your family.
[13:07] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes a little> I'm not really good at much. I was only a decent mage. And... there's not much else to me anymore. Right now I'm just existing, it seems. 
[13:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're just....in between.  You'll figure it out. <he pulls away to smile at her> I guess even fairy princesses have it hard.  <he kisses her very softly>
[13:11] arynwyn: Mai: <closes her eyes and blushes, returning the kiss with equal tenderness. she smiles after her pulls away> Do you think you'll be able to sleep again? If not, I'll stay up and keep you company. 
[13:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes his head> Get some sleep.  There's no point in both of us being exhausted tomorrow, and I'm used to pushing through sleeplessness.
[13:13] arynwyn: Mai: <frowns a bit, but pulls away. she stands and goes over  to her bedroll, then drags it over by his> If you need me, wake me up. Promise. <she slips into it and lays down>
[13:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry didn't see the window flash.  bad Window! <whaps chat window>))
[13:18] arynwyn: (( <laugh> no worries. <huggles> ))
[13:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and looks down at her> Stubborn.  I forgot that about fairies.
[13:19] arynwyn: Mai: <grins> You have no idea. Please, promise. <bats her eyelashes and smiles sweetly>
[13:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <Considers asking to seal the promise with a kiss, but mental chucks that idea as being far too tempting.> I promise.  If I need you, I'll wake you.
[13:20] Chaos Angel Sox: *mentally
[13:20] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and closes her eyes> Good. <she pulls the fur cloak up over her and snuggles in>
[13:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sits there and watches her sleep instead, though he does slip off to...attend to some business at one point>
[13:22] arynwyn: (( <snerk> I'm so considering having Mai wander into him while he's doing that at some point. ))
[13:23] arynwyn: (( okies, so... what now? :-D ))
[13:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Mal: O_O ... ... ...<massively embarassed>))
[13:24] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[13:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm...what else can we do to torment the poor boy?  Or is there anything we can do torment her?  Ooo!  Mal bathing naked in the river when she wakes up?))
[13:25] arynwyn: (( Heh, I was gunna do that to him, but sure. ))
[13:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> is there some other way to torment her then?))
[13:26] arynwyn: (( uhm... not sure... ))
[13:27] arynwyn: (( <tired brain blanking> ))
[13:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((do you need sleepings?))
[13:27] arynwyn: (( eventually. >.> ))
[13:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<chuckles> too addicted to zee RP?))
[13:28] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[13:28] arynwyn: (( hm. go ahead and have him bathing. but don't be surprised if it doesn't turn out like you expect. <giggle> ))
[13:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo.  okee!!!  Mal, time to bathe boy!))
[13:29] arynwyn: (( how deep's the water, first of all? __
[13:29] arynwyn: ))
[13:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm, rivers in Eversong...maybe just deep enough to keep the truly naughty bits underwater (though as clear as the water is....)?))
[13:30] arynwyn: (( Damn... ))
[13:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((how deep do you want it?))
[13:31] arynwyn: (( uhm... a little over waist high? ))
[13:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <as the sun starts poking its head above the horizon, Mal heads to the river nearby.  He hesitates, looking at the water and knowing well how cold it's going to be....but reminds himself that he probably needs a cold dousing.  He strips down, tucking his clothes up against a tree, and wades into the little over waist high water, tensing up from the cold until he acclimates to it a little>
[13:33] arynwyn: (( "looks like someone wants us to make like a pinata and beat it" <snerk> ))
[13:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[13:35] arynwyn: Mai: <stirs just after he goes, seeing him disappear into the woods. she climbs quickly out of her bedroll and follows him quietly. she sees him slip into the water and grins. she pulls off her own clothes when he's not looking, then slips in as well, making sure to keep low enough he doesn't see her whole body. her teeth start to chatter despite her best efforts at keeping quiet>
[13:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh dear...))
 Mal: <splashing himself in an attempt to clean some grime off of him.  He has his back to her as he rubs at his arms and neck.  He's trying to reach his back, letting icy cold water cascade down>
[13:39] arynwyn: Mai: <wades over to him and reaches out to wash his back for him, grinning to herself and shivering>
[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <jumps and starts to turn around, but even catching sight of her out of the corner of his eye is enough to have him reddening.  He turns back around quickly> Mairen! What are you...?  <think: I'm actually glad the water's ice cold right now...>
[13:42] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles softly> Do you have any soap? <continuing to scrub at his back>
[13:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ... ... ...in my pack, but this is just to...to....<think: why was I doing this again?>....what are you doing here?
[13:45] arynwyn: Mai: I saw you come out here. <she stops scrubbing and backs up a step, suddenly very embarrassed> I'm sorry. <she heads back toward the shore>
[13:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <tries to turn to talk to her then remembers their respective states of undress.  He averts his eyes> ...You startled me, is all.  Well, it's not all, but...
[13:48] arynwyn: Mai: <mutters> ...stupid, I'm sorry... <slips out of the water and grabs her clothes, tugging them on before disappearing into the woods, heading back to their camp>
[13:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks skyward for a moment before closing his eyes.  He climbs out, pulls on his underwear and pants, grabs his socks and boots and follows her back to camp> Princess?  What's got you upset now?
[13:50] arynwyn: Mai: <is back at the camp, changing into her day clothes> Nothing. Just... nothing. <sighs and stuffs her nightgown into her bag, then turns her attention to her bedroll>
[13:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I don't believe you. <folds his arms> And we're not going on until you talk to me.
[13:51] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I was just stupid, that's all. Please, just forget about it. <her face is still very red>
[13:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <clears his throat> Can I...ask why you did that?  Just trying to help?
[13:54] arynwyn: Mai: <turns even redder, if that's possible> Mal, please... <sighs> ...why do you think I did it? <think: I knew men were dense, but really...>
[13:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <licks his lips ((I typed "hips"...don't ask me how that's even possible...))> I...didn't think you were...the type to...just...<clears his throat>
[13:57] arynwyn: Mai: <turns away from him, saying hoarsely> Please, just forget it. It was an impulsive decision, and I... <shakes her head> I shouldn't have. Forgive me. 
[13:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <tries to think of what to say> I...I'll forget it happened. <think: Not likely> But it doesn't need forgiving.  Not every day a fairy princess washes my back for me.  <he walks up next to her and kisses her cheek>
[14:00] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls away from the kiss, afraid he'll see the tears in her eyes> We should go. We have a lot of ground to cover today. <bends down to poke at her bags, though she's finished packing>
[14:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and gives up, going to pull a shirt on> This is a dangerous corridor, stay close.  I almost always get attacked here.  Keep alert.
[14:04] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and hoists her bags up, not looking at him. she says quietly> It won't happen again. <steps over to the fire and kicks some dirt in it>
[14:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <think: I'm not sure whether I should be happy about that or not. He looks at her and sighs. What did you really expect me to do?  Sex on a riverbank probably not the most comfortable thing in the world. He finishes buttoning and tucking in his shirt, then rolls up his bedroll, situates it on his pack and loads himself up> And stay near the foothills.  When in doubt, climb; they don't climb well.
[14:08] arynwyn: Mai: <nods again, a tear slipping down her cheek. she wipes it away hastily> Ready when you are.
[14:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww, poor Mai.  >.> he doesn't want to tell her that he promised to behave himself....and he really doesn't want to tell her that she's making it very hard for him (literally)>
[14:12] arynwyn: (( <laugh> She thinks he doesn't like her like that. And what he said, the whole "I didn't think you were like that" or whatever made her feel like a slut and very dirty. >.< ))
[14:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah, he doesn't always phrase things well ~_~))
[14:12] arynwyn: (( hehe. ))
[14:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((how long you think she's going to sulk? ^_^))
[14:13] arynwyn: (( she should be fine by nightfall. still embarrassed, but as long as he's nice to her during the day, she should be fine. ))
[14:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he's nice...and fights Scourge off for her and all ^_^ ))
[14:14] arynwyn: (( sweet. ^^ ))
[14:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so...hm...what to do to them now...))
[14:16] arynwyn: (( hmm... not sure... ))
[14:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not too sleepy is ya?))
[14:16] arynwyn: (( eh, I'm doin' okay. =P ))
[14:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay! :3 ))
[14:16] arynwyn: (( ^^ ))
[14:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He might be trying to keep things kind of...at a lower boil between them, sitting to a distance, but he's not being mean or harsh or cold to her))
[14:19] arynwyn: (( that's fine. but she's not going to try and kiss him or hold his hand or *anything* again... he's going to have to do that from now on. >.< ))
[14:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh dear.  Hmm.....couple days later...))
 
 Mal: <looks at the sky> Hey, climb up this way, Mai.  It's kind of steep, but I think it'll be worth it. <smile>
[14:22] arynwyn: Mai: <tries to see what he's looking at, and climbs up after him, slipping once and tearing the knee of her pants. she frowns but keeps going> What is it?
[14:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You'll see. <the climb takes a little bit, but when they reach the top, there's a wide, flat, grassy plateau and a breathtaking view of a ruddy sunset that stains the sky.  He sits near the edge facing the sunset and pats the grass next to him> Hell of a campsite, hm?
[14:28] arynwyn: Mai: <sits down heavily next to him, slipping out of the straps of her pack> It's lovely. <she gazes out at the sunset for a moment, then lays back against her pack and closes her eyes>
[14:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <watches her, smiling softly> I'm glad we made it here tonight.  I wanted to show you this since you said you'd come with me.
[14:30] arynwyn: Mai: Mmh... <yawns a little and shifts, trying to get more comfortable> I'll... enjoy it more in the morning... 
[14:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Sorry.  If I'm overdoing it, let me know.  I'm used to all of this, and not used to having company with me at all.
[14:33] arynwyn: Mai: <opens her eyes and blinks a few times> No, I'm f- <yawn> fine. Just tired tonight. <she struggles to stand back up and starts to unpack her bedroll>
[14:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stands and puts a hand on hers> Here, let me.  I'll take care of everything tonight.  Just relax.  <unpacks her bedroll for her and starts working on a fire with wood he gathered on the way up>
[14:35] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and sits back down, leaning against a tree trunk. she closes her eyes and yawns again, and soon falls asleep>
[14:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he has a small fire going when he goes to wake her up> Hey.  No fresh game tonight, I'm afraid, but wake up and eat some rations and I promise you'll get something nice, hm?
[14:38] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks awake> Mmh? Somethin' nice?... <rubs at her eyes and stands up, a littel unsteady on her feet> Yeah, sure. <half-stumbles over to the fire and digs in her pack for something to eat>
[14:38] arynwyn: *little
[14:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm afraid we have to keep the fire low, for safety.  Anyone can see it, up this high.  I know it's kind of chilly up here, especially when the breeze picks up.  <he pulls his fur cloak out and swings it around his shoulders, then digs out some jerky from his own pack and sits next to her to eat it>  Just means we'll have to stay close.  I put my bedroll out next to yours.
[14:42] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and bites into whatever food she found, her own cloak tight around her. she eats very little and, after a few minutes, nods off. she starts awake and shakes her head, forces a few more bites down, then gives up and crawls over to her bedroll> Somethin' nice?... <gives him a small smile>
[14:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs around his food, finishes chewing and swallowing> Lay down.  On your stomach.  Oh, and forgive me, but take the cloak off first?
[14:44] arynwyn: Mai: <slips out of the cloak, shivering, and turns over onto her stomach> 
[14:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <drapes the cloak over her legs, then kneels next to her and starts rubbing her shoulders> I figure you're probably pretty sore after all of this....
[14:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe's downloading "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" for me <3 <3 <3 ))
[14:46] arynwyn: Mai: <a soft moan escapes her lips> Mmmm... <she closes her eyes and sighs happily> Feels good. Really good. 
[14:46] arynwyn: (( Whassat? ))
[14:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Old TV show; I caught it in syndicated reruns when I was a teenager.  Had such a crush on Bruce Boxleitner. <3 <3  The idea was that he was a spy and he somehow mixed up this regular housewife (divorced, two kids, has a nosy mother always around) in espionage, so now they work together a lot, and her motherly common sense keeps saving him, even when her own naivete usually gets her in trouble and he has to come save her.  Of course, she's a pretty and fairly young mother (did we mention divorced? as in single?) so you can see where that went...<3 <3 ))
[14:48] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Nice. ))
[14:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smile> I'm glad.  I'm sorry for running you ragged.  It'll be worth it once we get there.  How are you...feeling?  You know with the...addiction and all? <rubbing her shoulder blades and the top of her back>
[14:51] arynwyn: Mai: As long as I keep my mind busy, I'm okay. But when there's nothing else to think about, then it comes back. And... it's painful. Physically and mentally. So many times I just want to sit down and cry, but... I can't. I still obsess about Bloodthistle and mana potions, but... <shakes her head> I don't know how to make that go away. 
[14:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: So I just need to keep your mind busy too then? <working on the middle of her back, paying special attention to a stubborn knot>
[14:53] arynwyn: Mai: <groans as he hits the knot> Yeah, I guess so. Kind of hard, though. We're usually busy walking, not talking. 
[14:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> It'll be tough.  I'll have to think of something... <moving down to the small of her back, just above where the cloak rests>
 
 ((Might I suggest walking around shirtless?
 Mal: ... ...if it weren't winter, maybe.))
[14:55] arynwyn: Mai: <shivers a little and nods, drifting back off to sleep slowly>
[14:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <continues working, going back up to her shoulders and the back of her neck, as she falls back into slumber.  When he believes she's fast asleep, he stops massaging to rub her back gently before tugging the cloak up over her.  He looks down at her softly and leans down to kiss her temple> Sleep well, my fairy princess. <he doesn't bother taking his shirt off, just lays down next to her on his bedroll, pulls his own cloak around him and looks at her until his eyes drop closed>
[14:59] arynwyn: Mai
[14:59] arynwyn: (( Grr ))
[15:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<pat pat>))
[15:00] arynwyn: Mai: <a few hours later, she wakes up, terribly cold. she's shaking something fierce, her teeth are chattering, and her skin is icy to the touch. she crawls over to Mal and shakes him gently> M-Mal? <chatter> I'm s-so c-cold... <shiver shiver>
[15:01] arynwyn: (( <sticks tongue out at Jen> ))
[15:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <blinks up at her> Mm?  Oh.  C'mere.  <he pulls her down next to him and resettles his cloak and arms around her, still sort of half-asleep>
[15:04] arynwyn: Mai: <snuggles into his arms, burying her face in his neck, sucking up as much heat as she can from him> Thanks... <she cuddles closer, then closes her eyes, drifting back off to sleep a few minutes later>
[15:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <when she thanks him, he kisses her cheek automatically, then drops back into sleep>
[15:05] arynwyn: (( wanna post when he wakes up? or skipping ahead? ))

He looks at her and ponders just settling back down and staying snuggled in next to her.  He actually does it for a little bit, then sighs and, pressing a kiss to her forehead, he brushes her cheek softly> Princess?  Time to wake up, sleeping beauty...

[15:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: So you really are a fugitive from the fairy tales? <smiles sleepily and scratches the back of his neck as he stands> We'll be warmer the sooner we start moving. <starts breaking down the campsite>

[15:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Yeah well, we don't get to choose what we are, hm?  I honestly shouldn't even be holding you...<which he is>...or kissing you...<which he does, briefly> but...you keep weakening my defenses. <light grin>
[15:26] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I don't understand. Why shouldn't you? These are our decisions to make, aren't they? And I will continue to weaken your defenses, as long as you keep them up. 
[15:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and pulls away> We're burning daylight....<bends to pack up his bedroll and root around in his pack a little>
[15:29] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks a couple of times, then goes to pick up her own pack, watching Mal and feeling a little sick> Are you engaged or something, Mal?...
[15:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs suddenly but doesn't look at her> Engaged?  Doesn't that require "courting" and such?  And, you know, a presence in society?  Hell, it'd require being around women at a bare minimum...last woman to show me any affection...before you...is the cook at the pretty house you live in, and she usually just gives me great big bear hugs.
[15:32] arynwyn: Mai: <frowns some more and sighs> Ugh, fine. I'm not going to press, but I'd like to know, at least for peace of mind. That's all I'll say. <she hoists her bag onto her shoulders> Ready when you are.
[15:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks at her> I...<think:..would have slept with you by now if you wanted to, if I could have>....think we should focus on getting you well again, that's all. <pulling his pack on>
[15:37] arynwyn: Mai: <gives him a look> I'm not stupid, Mal. You're either not attracted to me, or there's a reason. <shrugs a little> It doesn't really matter though, I suppose, since it comes out the same. 
[15:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he looks at her, and for a moment, a look of raw longing and emotion comes onto his face> ....there's a reason.  <then he walks to the edge and starts his descent> Careful on the way down; be sure of your footholds.
[15:40] arynwyn: Mai: <watches him go and sighs, then follows him, going down slowly. she slips on the same spot she did before, ripping her knee a little more, but the rest of the way is uneventful. at the bottom, she asks> Will you ever tell me? Or am I to be kept in the dark, wondering why you push me away?...
[15:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs> You won't leave this alone, will you? <he rubs a hand back through his hair>
[15:43] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs> Yes, I will. I'm sorry. I just don't understand, is all. And it affects me, so I'm curious about it. But I'll drop it. <she starts off>

[17:08] arynwyn: Mai: <still crimson, she tries to hide behind Mal, looking around, mulling over this "shouldn't have encouraged you" thing. she doesn't like how that sounds, like she's a child...>
[17:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((gorrammit there's a tornado watch))
[17:08] arynwyn: (( O_o In Oct?! ))
[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((global warming...<sighs>  and there's like NO rain.  hardly clouds even...<sigh>))
[17:09] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Sorry hon. =(  ))
[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay.  not like tornado watches ever really stop me from going out and doing stuff ^_^;; ))
[17:10] arynwyn: (( Hehe, unlike me. >.> ))
[17:13] arynwyn: (( methinks someone there should offer them bloodthistle. :-D ))d
[17:15] arynwyn: (( Stupid! STUPID! It's not even Halloween and there are CHRISTMAS commercials on! >.< ))
[17:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <conducts his business with the sergeant, enduring the occasional "nudge wink nudge wink say no more say no more" sort of comments.  Some of the men, male night elves and the few male blood elves eye Mai; quite a few of the women are eyeing Mal ((new meat, you understand)).  But no one says anything or makes any sort of move.>
 Sarge: Good good.  Okay, drop off your stuff with the quartermaster.  I know you brought company and all, but strict rules: no fraternization.  Men in the mens' tents, women in the women's.  You can go one night without, can't you? <grin>
 Mal: <rolls his eyes> Yes, I think I'll survive...
 Sarge: Right then, off you go.  Mess tent starts servin' soon and they've got hot strong coffee.  <one of the grunts, a human, makes a comment, while looking Mai up and down, about "I'd give her something hot and strong";  the Sarge and Mal both turn on the man to glare at him>  You just earned yourself KP, corporal.  Get over there and let someone competent stand your post.  <the man grumbles and walks off, shooting Mal a dark look and eyeing Mai again as he passes>  Sorry about him, ma'am.
[17:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<sighs> it's the holidays.  period.))
[17:19] arynwyn: Mai: <still bright red, but now looking slightly frightened. she whispers to Mal> I have to stay alone?... <sighs a little> Right. Okay. I can do that. One night, right?... One night... <she's gripping Mal's arm very tight>
[17:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I should be home after we finish the last ep on the disc, but we'll have to see what happens with the weather.  They're predicting strong storms with hail, but from what I can see on the weather map, it looks like most of that will be south of us. <shrugs>))
[17:19] arynwyn: (( okies. around what time? ))
[17:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <whispers back> You won't be alone.  You'll be sleeping with the other women here.  I'm sure they wouldn't let anything happen to you.
 
 ((Umm....hold on...))
[17:20] arynwyn: Mai: I hope not. Oh gods... <closes her eyes and wills herself to stop shaking, taking a deep breath> Yeah, it'll be fine. 
[17:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((probably...10:30/11ish my time? there're 4 eps on the disc and they're each about an hour long.))
[17:21] arynwyn: (( mkay, sounds good. ))
[17:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <frowns and puts an arm around her reassuringly, speaking to her soothingly in Thalassian> I promise, I won't let anything happen to you.  Even if I'm not right next to you.  Any man trying to come after you would have to leave the men's tent, and that's where I'll be.  Don't worry.
 Sarge: She okay?
 Mal: <looks to the sergeant and dropping the elven tongue> Can I trouble you to deliver my goods to the quartermaster?  We should go get in line for some food, I think.
 Sarge: Oh yeah, sure.  <he makes an enlisted grunt do it instead, but still, Mal hands over the trade goods and then begins walking Mai towards the mess tent>
 Mal: <Thalassian again> Get some food in you, some coffee, and you'll see.  I used to get similar treatment from the women here, but most of them are used to me now.  You're just...a novelty is all.  They're normally very nice.  I'm sorry, I should've thought about that and warned you....
[17:28] arynwyn: Mai: <clings to him, nodding, but not looking terribly reassured> Yeah... yeah, a... a novelty... <has a deer-in-the-headlights look> Food, yeah, let's get some food. <nods slowly, her mind racing> It'll be okay. One night. Just one night. 
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and now I must go.  and YOU must make with the sleepings))
[17:29] arynwyn: (( okies. <huggles> Have fun!  and be safe!! ))
[17:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((will do <huggles> Happy sleepings :D ))
[17:30] arynwyn: (( yep! ))

[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: <super sneaky pounce huggles!>
[22:53] arynwyn: <HUGGLES!>
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: heh - washing the bowl so I can put the Cocoa Krispies in it :3
[22:55] arynwyn: Nice. ^^
[22:55] arynwyn: Lemme know if/when you wanna RP. :-D
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: "If" she says....<snort>
 
 Good sleepings?
[22:57] arynwyn: Yep! Woke up just in time to do the dishes before you got back. ^^
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: hot. :3
[22:57] arynwyn: =P
[22:58] arynwyn: so yeah, Mairen's gunna have a lapse, yes? <evil grin>
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: most likely, if she doesn't nearly get raped. >_<
 
 just a minute
[23:00] arynwyn: Raped? Oh dear. That should be interesting.
[23:01] Chaos Angel Sox: well there's that guard.  don't worry he won't succeed. I'm not THAT evil...er...most of the time >.>
[23:02] Chaos Angel Sox: just got more news about my uncle ~_~
[23:02] arynwyn: <snerk> Yeah... she has enough on her plate at the moment. Your uncle? O_o
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: My mom's younger brother has ALS.  On Monday he went into surgery to have a feeding tube and breathing tube put in because just eating and breathing takes so much work for him.  The surgeries seemed to go okay.
 
 Mooms sent me an email tonight saying that the only problem seemed to be an elevated temp of 100.8...and though everything else looks good, he was just diagnosed with pnuemonia.  ~_~
[23:04] arynwyn: Oh dear. <hugs> I'm sorry. Forgive my ignorance, but what is ALS?
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, aka Lou Gherig's disease.  
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis
[23:05] arynwyn: Ah.
[23:06] arynwyn: Got it.
[23:06] arynwyn: Sad.
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: According to The ALS Association, military veterans are at an increased risk of contracting ALS. In its report ALS in the Military, the group pointed to an almost 60% greater chance of the disease in military veterans than the general population.
 
 Uncle Frank was in the Navy....until he was diagnosed anyway.  But the VA's taken good care of him and his family. 
[23:07] arynwyn: That makes me nervous. >.>
[23:08] Chaos Angel Sox: It's still not a common disease by any means.
[23:08] arynwyn: <huggles> Sorry for your  uncle, hon.
[23:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Thanks <hugs back> To be fair, things have sounded bad before and he's rebounded.  That side of the family has mutant healing factor.  Did I tell you about Grandpa Joe's miraculous recovery? (Grandpa Joe being my mom and uncle's dad)
[23:10] arynwyn: Nope.
[23:10] arynwyn: Grandpa Joe, like from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? <giggle>
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Man is an alcoholic.  Has been since before I was born.  Since before Mooms was born, even.  And he's a diabetic.  These two were bound to collide badly eventually, and they did. 
 At one point, Grandpa Joe was bed-bound in a hospital.  He was crazy - I mean, he'd talk to his friend Ray all day and Ray's been dead over a decade.  He was too weak to stand, let alone walk.  The doctors were saying he'd die any day.
[23:12] arynwyn: Oh dear. o_o
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: And then one day, he woke up, perfectly lucid and sane, got out of bed, walked down the hallway and asked the nurse for a glass of water.  
 Stunned the hell out of EVERYONE.
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: There are other mutant healing cases in that family, but that's the only one I really remember >.>  so I'm hoping that the mutant healing factor will help out Uncle Frank.
[23:13] arynwyn: Wow. That's sweet. And I'll pray for your uncle. <hugs>
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Honestly I was kind of hoping the son of a bitch would die (Grandpa, not Uncle Frank).  ^_^; Don't particularly like him.  
 
 But anyways....<hugs> RP? :)
[23:14] arynwyn: Ah. >.<
[23:14] arynwyn: Sure thing.
[23:16] Chaos Angel Sox: So they passing the bloodthistle around in the women's tent? ^_~
[23:16] arynwyn: <nod> I'll post Mai first if you want.
[23:17] arynwyn: Mai: <has found a place in a corner to unpack, and she sits, refolding and reorganizing her pack, since there's nothing else to do, and she can't sleep yet>
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: <the women are chatting, some of them half in, half out of their armor, one or two already wrapped in bed and trying to sleep.  Most of them are humans or night elves.  The quartermaster is a troll female; she's one of the ones already sleeping.  There a couple of blood elves not far from Mai.  They nod at her and smile>
[23:21] arynwyn: *refolding her clothes and reorganizing her pack, even
[23:22] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles back politely but keeps her distance, still afraid at being away from Mal for the night>
[23:24] Chaos Angel Sox: <one of them rises and comes over> Heard Roulf was pretty rude to you?  Just ignore him; he has a thing for blood elves, but just knock him around once or twice, and he'll learn. <she smiles reassuringly>
[23:26] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up and nods> Yeah... <she shivers a little at the memory and switches to Thalassian> How can you... I mean... You live with Humans and Night Elves? That would be so strange for me. I've only ever fought them, and that was rare. <she glances around the room> I've not seen many. 
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: <she laughs, tossing her hair back over her shoulder> It is odd at first, but eventually you realize that we're all here with the same goals.  These people have saved my life on many forays into the Plaguelands.  We look out for each other.  <she sits on the bunk next to Mairen> But if you're still not real comfortable, we've got a little...y'know, something...<offers a pouch with a familiar odor to it>...smooth you over, make you feel a bit more in control, hm?  You only have to be here the one night...
[23:35] arynwyn: Mai: <her eyes fall on the pouch and she just stares at it for a moment, her mind going completely blank. then the internal battle begins: No, Mairen, no! You've come to far! ...Just one little leaf, it won't be a big deal... No! What would Mal say. He'd say no!... and on and on. after a long moment, she gives a little strangled moan> ...Mal... <but reaches out for the leaf, taking it and shoving it in her mouth, savoring the taste and texture>
[23:35] arynwyn: *too far
[23:37] Chaos Angel Sox: <smiles> You wouldn't believe what we have to go through to get it out here.  <takes some leaf hersefl>  So what's the deal with you and our honey vendor, huh? <grin nudge>
[23:39] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks out of her trance, wiping at the spit running down her chin> He's just... taking me to the Druids. We're not... I mean... <shakes her head, trying to clear her mind> I don't think we're anything special. Just friends. <takes more leaf and contemplates asking for a mana potion>
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Must be one of those "special" type of friends....Marianne over there <nods to the human scout from earlier> says she saw you two kissing when she first found you?
[23:42] arynwyn: Mai: <flushes> There's something standing between us, and he won't tell me what it is. He's being a gentleman, despite my best efforts. <giggles a little> Uhm, I don't suppose you... have a mana potion or two, do you? 
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: <she chuckles> Oh yeah, hold on.  Hey! <she calls over to the other blood elf> Toss me one!  <the comrade across the room lobs a mana pot at her and she offers it to Mai> Knock yourself out.  You know, there are things you can slip him to make him less gentlemanly.  They're kinda hard to get out this way, but....
[23:48] arynwyn: Mai:  <takes the mana potion and drinks it down greedily, closing her eyes to savor it. when she opens them again, they are glowing brightly and she smiles> There are? Like what? And where can I get them? Don't say Silvermoon, please... 
[23:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Well a city's always the best place, and Silvermoon's the best city.  I bet if you ask around the Apothecarium, you can find some. <winks>
[23:53] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> D'you have any crystalized mana essence, by chance? I find that's the best stuff. And I'll pay. <she reaches into her pack and pulls out some gold. 
[23:53] arynwyn: *>
[23:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Nah, sorry, but the Magic Quarter should be stocked.  We're doing good to get the leaf out here.
[23:56] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs a little and nods> Thought that was too much to hope for. Can I get another couple of potions, maybe? 
[23:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Talk to the quartermaster in the morning before you head out.  She has the potions.
[23:58] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> That won't be possible. <sighs a little and stuffs more bloodthistle in her mouth. she looks a little shifty and doesn't elaborate>
[23:59] arynwyn: (( YAY! Rory went back to Yale! :-D ))
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((um yay?))
[00:00] arynwyn: (( Sorry. >.> ))
[00:00] arynwyn: (( Gilmore Girls, y'know... ))
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay ^_^ ))
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugs!>))
[00:00] arynwyn: (( <huggles!> ))
[00:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Heading out early, hm?  You'd better get some sleep then, girl! <smiles>
[00:02] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and hands her a couple of gold, taking a large pinch of the bloodthistle> For the trip. <reluctantly hand the pouch back to her and gives a small smile> Thanks.
[00:03] Chaos Angel Sox: A fellow sin'dorei's always welcome around here.  Sleep well. <heads back to her bed>
[00:03] arynwyn: Mai: <curls up on her cot and stuffs the rest of the bloodthistle in her mouth. she chews it for a long time, then finally drifts off to sleep> 
 
 (( Will Mal be the one to wake her? That would be the most dramatic, but I dunno if that's practical? ))
[00:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I would think the other sin'dorei girls would try to wake her; if they're unsuccessful, they might go get Mal to do it))
[00:04] arynwyn: (( okies, that's how we'll do it then. ))
[00:05] arynwyn: (( a deep drug-induced sleep, methinks? ))
[00:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> I'd think so, esp. after all that time in withdrawal...))
[00:06] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: <the girl from last night shakes her shoulder> Time to wake up.  Hellllooooo...?
[00:06] arynwyn: Mai: <doesn't stir>
[00:10] Chaos Angel Sox: <she laughs and whispers something to her comrade, who giggles and runs out.  The women's tent is already mostly empty.  After a few minutes, the girl who ran out returns with Mal in tow> Hey, sweetheart.  I heard you're trying to leave early today but she's out cold. <giggles>
 Mal: But she's okay right?  <coming over to her bedside; he's mostly dressed but hasn't buttoned the shirt he's wearing yet> Mairen?
 Ohhh, she's probably just fine. <smiles and nods at her friend>
[00:11] arynwyn: Mai: <there's a pile of chewed bloodthistle ('cause I assume you spit?) on the floor next to her bed, and she's clutching the mana potion vial to her chest as she sleeps. she stirs a little a Mal's voice, groaning soflty>
[00:13] arynwyn: *at Mal's
[00:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oh gods...how did she get this...?
 We gave it to her.  Did you want some? <smiles> Or anything else, honey boy?
 Mal: Get out of here. <he's focused on Mai; they sigh and shake their heads and leave him alone with her> Mairen...oh gods...<he brushes some of her hair out of her face and tugs on the mana potion to get it away from her>
[00:15] arynwyn: Mai: <stirs a little more, clinging to the bottle> Mm? <she blinks her eyes open (which are still glowing brightly) and wipes at her mouth, which is very dry>
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <PULLS the mana pot away from her> You don't need this.  You do NOT.
[00:19] arynwyn: Mai:  <sits up, her eyes unfocused and scowling> S'mine. <then head clears and she blinks> ...Mal?... <she looks down at the bottle and at the chewed bloodthistle, and now she sounds rather panicked> ...Mal?... 
[00:19] arynwyn: *then her head
[00:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs heavily and brushes his fingers against her cheek> Were you that upset, that this was the only way to feel better, Mairen?
[00:22] arynwyn: Mai: <begins to cry, trembling, shaking her head> No, I... It wasn't like that... She just... offered it... and I was weak... <she lays back down, turning away from him and burying her face in the pillow to sob> Oh gods... 
[00:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sets the mana pot down, far away from her, and puts a hand on her arm> ...I won't say I'm not disappointed, but...you're not perfect, Mairen, and this isn't something you can just be instantly cured of.  I know that.
[00:26] arynwyn: Mai: <sobbing> I... don't... You don't... have to deal with me anymore... I'll just... go home... I'm failing, like I knew I would... and I'm just being a burden... I'll give you the m-money and go... 
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I promised that when I thought you were being a burden, I'd send you home.  You're not being a burden.  This was the point of this trip - to learn to overcome these sort of situations.  And I'm not ready to give up yet. <pulls her over to face him> So don't you give up either.
[00:30] arynwyn: Mai: <stops sobbing and looks up at him, though tears still flood down her cheeks> I... I had a bad feeling last night, about... being away from you... <shakes her head and bites her lip, then sighs> ...too late now... <she sits up slowly> I'll... I'll get dressed, and we can go. And... you should keep the money. I spent some last night. Just a couple of gold, but... I shouldn't be trusted with it. 
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: If you want me to, I will.  And I won't spend another night away from you.  I promise. <pulls her in and hugs her tightly>
[00:32] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs him back tightly, clinging to him, crying again> I'm so sorry, Mal. <she buries her face in his neck> I'm so sorry...
[00:33] arynwyn: (( <unplugs her laptop so she can continue to RP while she makes sketti!> :-D ))
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  I suppose I ought to punish you in some way...<thinks> No kisses today? <smiles wanly>
 
 ((Lucky! <jealous>))
[00:35] arynwyn: Mai: <mutters> ...fifty lashes?... <pulls away and climbs out of bed, digging in her pack for her clothes>
[00:35] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[00:36] arynwyn: (( which part are you jealous of? the laptop part or the sketti part? <giggle> ))
[00:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'll make you a deal.  Each day you go without increasing your mana addiction, I'll give you a kiss?  I don't know if kissing me is good enough incentive, but....
 
 ((laptop.  I can make sketti if I wanted....err...and if I wanted to wash all those pots and pans))
[00:38] arynwyn: (( <laugh> got it. ))
[00:38] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Okay. It's a deal. <she turns and holds out her hand to shake>
[00:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes her hand> I'd seal it with a kiss, but...not today.  C'mon, get dressed and we'll head out, okay?
[00:42] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and turns her back to him, stripping quickly, then pulling on her clothes. after a moment, she turns back around and packs up her things, then hoists her bags up> Ready.
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <when she starts pulling clothes off, he turns around.  He realizes his shirt's still unbuttoned and fixes that, tucking it in quickly.  When she says she's ready, he turns back and smiles> Great.  Let me get my things from the mens' tent, and we can head out.  <he stops to pick up the remaining mana pot and takes it with him>
[00:46] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and follows after him, quiet. she waits outside his tent, hoping not to run into any lecherous men>
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: <the human grunt from yesterday smiles at her leeringly> Running away already?
[00:47] arynwyn: Mai: <shies away from him> I'm leaving, yes.
[00:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Ohhh, we're not so bad here.  <moving in closer to her, eyes dipping down to her chest> You get to know us, we can be Verrrry Niiice....just give us a chance, hm?
[00:50] arynwyn: Mai: Stay away from me... <backs up and looks around for help> Mal? Mal!...
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/18/dining/18mini.html)(Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/18/dining/18mini.html)http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/18/dining/18mini.html Just in case you're interested :3 I'm not sure if you can read that link or not, but I hope so >.>))
[00:52] arynwyn: (( NIIIICE. Thanks!! ))
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: He's not the only guy in the world.  And I'm sure I can show you a better time.  <he reaches his hand towards her cheek...>
 Mal: <grabs the man's hand> Touch her and you'll never touch anything else again.
 <he glowers at Mal> You can't share, man?  You're supposed to be here to trade, right?
 Mal: <tightens his hold on the human's wrist and steps in close to him> She's not a good or service to be traded.  You stay away from her, or I will take you apart, piece by piece.  <he raises his left hand (the hand not holding the grunt's wrist) and it glows with an eerie red light> Am I Understood?
 <he looks like he's about to piss himself.  He nods, eyes wide>
 <Mal drops his wrist as if it were the most disgusting thing he'd ever touched>
 <the grunt runs off>
 Mal: <the glow fades and he turns to Mai> Are you okay?
[00:59] arynwyn: Mai: <wipes a tear away> I... <nods a little> I'm fine. <she rushes to him and hugs him tightly, trembling> What... what was that? Your hand?
[00:59] arynwyn: (( <shares sketti and garlic bread>
[00:59] arynwyn: ))
[01:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs softly as he holds her and pets her hair> The only magic trick I ever learned.  Actually, it's supposed to be something useful.  All I can really do with it is make my hands glow...but it looks scary, right?  I'd never have made a good mage, honestly.
 
 ((Yum! :3 <loads garlic bread down with sketti> OH! I need to find that pic....))
[01:01] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at  him> You would have. <she pulls away reluctantly> Let's get out of here... I don't like this place.
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods; he's already wearing his cloak, and his pack is at his feet where he dropped it.  He hefts the pack up> I'm sorry.  We should be able to reach the zeppelin today, and then we'll be on another continent from this place, okay?
[01:06] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and shifts her own pack> Sounds good. Oh... <she reaches back into her bag and pulls out a small pouch> The money. <she offers it to him>
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <takes it quietly> If we make good time, we can stop by the Undercity and pick up some treats for the zeppelin flight.  Sound nice?
[01:08] arynwyn: Mai: <nods but looks away> If you think I deserve something. <she begins to walk, slowly, waiting for him but desperate to get away>
[01:08] arynwyn: *away from the Bulwark, that is
[01:08] arynwyn: (( <ponders ice cream with hot fudge...> ))
[01:09] arynwyn: (( <and bananas> ))
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[01:10] arynwyn: (( Hmm... I think I'll let my food settle first. ))
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <picks up his pace a little>  We already outlined what you do and don't get.  But, believe it or not, there's a vendor in the Undercity that sells these hot kabobs that are actually really tasty.
[01:11] arynwyn: Mai: <raises an eyebrow> Hot kabobs?... What exactly are those? 
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((trying to find this piccy...))
[01:13] arynwyn: (( <reading 10 min recipes> :-D ))
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well...it's hard to explain so that it sounds good.  Bits of deep-fried dough and meat.  I mean, it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but that's why it's a treat.
[01:15] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Sounds good. <she falls into silence for a while, until the high from the night before starts to fade. her eyes dull and she pales, a thin sweat forming on her face. she inadvertantly slows a little, and her mind is focused on one thing only: magic>
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <glances at her sidelong> So..um...did you ever have pets?
[01:17] arynwyn: Mai: <glances up from staring at the ground> Pets?... Uhm, no. Not really. <goes back to staring at the ground, fighting the trembling in her body>
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Found it: (Link: http://melukilan.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Couple-46310769)(Link: http://melukilan.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Couple-46310769)http://melukilan.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Couple-46310769 ))
[01:19] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Cute!! ))
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal:  What's your favorite color? <puts an arm around her to help her keep pace and support her>
[01:21] arynwyn: Mai: Favorite color? <having problems focusing> Pink. And white, though that's not really a color. <she wraps an arm around his waist and leans against him a little>
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Favorite food? <nuzzles her hair>
[01:22] arynwyn: Mai: Uhm... I... I don't really know. I suppose I'd have to say the rabbit I've had on this trip. It's some of the best meat I've ever had. 
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles and keeps asking her personal little questions like that to try and keep her mind off of things>
[01:24] arynwyn: (( Aww. He's so sweet. ^^ ))
[01:24] arynwyn: (( so... arrival at UC? Or FF further? ))
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Unless she's going to sneak off to find aphrodesiac, we can FF ^_^ though I don't know where to.  The only other place he stops to trade is Splintertree Post...well and he trades with the Druids of course, but that's the destination))
[01:27] arynwyn: (( She's not sneaking off anywhere, not with her state and not with the info coming from the woman who gave her the drugs. >.< Uhm... Pick a place, wherever. ^^ ))
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((let me tink here....what other tormentations can we submit them to...Oh, they can play a game...<grins> This can be...um...'bout a week after leaving the Bulwark, maybe?  maybe two weeks?))
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It involves alcohol, so...<grins>))
[01:29] arynwyn: (( okies. <laugh> Awesome. Go for it. ^^ ))
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <they're in the Barrens, making their way towards Ashenvale.  It's slower going, as there are more animals around to attack them.  He stops them early for the night> Let's rest up a bit.  I think after fending off a hyena pack, we deserve it, hm?  And this is a good spot, here in these foothills.  <he smiles at her> I still owe you your kiss for today anyway...
[01:32] arynwyn: Mai: <drops her pack heavily and smiles at him> That you do, sir Knight. 
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Let's get the campfire going first.  Gods know we've meat enough to cook for a bit.  I've got something special to have with dinner...or...we could play a game with it.  <he reaches into his pack and pulls out a bottle of alcohol, a type of sweet mead the Argent Dawn likes> Got this back at the Bulwark, but didn't want to pull it out before now. <grins>
[01:36] arynwyn: Mai: <raises an eyebrow and grins back> I vote for the game. <she starts to pile up the firewood they gathered, and works on catching a flame for it> What's the game? Do share.
[01:39] arynwyn: (( <giggle> I put that comic you sent me as my desktop. ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, it's called Truth or Lie.  See, we take turns saying something about ourselves.  Maybe I'll say something like...."I was blonde when I was a little boy" for example.  You say "Truth" or "Lie".  If it's true and you say it is, we're both good.  If you say I'm lying and I'm not, you have to take a drink, for falsely accusing me.  If you say I'm lying and I am, then I have to take a drink, since you caught me lying.  And if you call it true and it's a lie, we both drink: you for being wrong and me for lying to you again, I guess.  I just know we both drink in that case.  Then it's your turn to say something and I have to call it.  The idea is to find out stuff about each other and...well you try to avoid getting shit-faced drunk, but that's usually how it ends up...<he laughs> Hopefully with food in us it won't be so bad.
 
 
 ((I just made this game up on the fly; does it make sense?))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the sketti one? :3 ))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( Yep. And I've played this game before, minus the drinking. ^^ ))
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh.  I must've heard of it somewhere then.))
[01:43] arynwyn: Mai: <grins> This sounds fun. But I'm at a disadvantage. I'm a terrible liar! <she laughs and the fire catches> Got the meat? <she digs out her jar of herbs> I'll get it seasoned, and we can get the meat cooking. 
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pulls out some of the meat from the animals they've been killing all day and spears a couple large chunks on sticks> Well maybe once I've had a few drinks, my ability to distinguish lies will go down and even the odds?
[01:45] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> You better tell some lies then. <seasons the meat and offers them back to him> You cooking or am I?
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Work your magic, fairy princess. <smiles> I'm providing the spirits we're about to soak our blood with.  Oh, and before I forget again....?
[01:47] arynwyn: Mai: Hm? <looks up after jamming the sticks into the ground at an angle over the fire so they can begin to cook> Before you forget again? <playing dumb>
[01:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <cups her face with both hands to kiss her in what has become his usual way: soft, warm and lingering, his eyes closing in contentment>
[01:50] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes, as always, and kisses him back with equal tenderness. and, as usual, lets be the first to pull away. she says softly> I love your kisses. <she nuzzles his neck a little> 
[01:50] arynwyn: *lets him be the first..
[01:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...makes for good incentive then.  Incentive for me too, to keep you on track. <grins> Do you want to wait for the meat to finish cooking before we start playing?
[01:52] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and shakes her head> Let's start now. <she pulls away and turns the meat> Who's first?
[01:52] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://babaloney-w00.livejournal.com/47493.html)(Link: http://babaloney-w00.livejournal.com/47493.html)http://babaloney-w00.livejournal.com/47493.html ))
[01:53] arynwyn: (( AWW! ))
[01:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'll say a statement first, if you want? <he sits near her, opens the bottle and puts it between them>
[01:53] arynwyn: (( I love the kitten "rawr" one!! ))
[01:53] arynwyn: Mai: <grins, a little nervous, and nods> Sure. Why not.
[01:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Rawr! <pounce-huggles>))
[01:55] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[01:55] arynwyn: (( <huggles back> ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <thinks a bit> ...I used to have a pet gecko named "Giant Lizard King". <he grins>
[01:57] arynwyn: Mai: <bites on her lip and thinks> That's a lie. <hopes>
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Nope! <he chuckles and offers her the bottle> I was a very little boy at the time.  Tera hated Giant Lizard King with a passion, mostly 'cause he seemed to like her bed a lot for some reason....certainly I didn't put him there myself...<tries his best to look innocent>
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm....rum & coke, chips & salsa....yes, yessss....I suppose I ought to figure out when I need to go to bed... >.>))
[02:01] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and takes a drink of the alcohol> I'm sure you didn't. <she thinks a moment> When my sisters dressed up as my mother as a child, I always dressed up as my father instead. <sets the bottle back down>
[02:01] arynwyn: (( <chuckle> Lemme know. ))
[02:02] arynwyn: (( Bad phrasing, dammit... Not their mother as a child, but them as children, dressing up as their mother. >.< ))
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oooh.  Hmm... <ponders that for a moment> ...true?
[02:05] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> I was lying, so... we both drink? My sister Taena was always the tomboyish one. She dressed up as our father. <giggles>
[02:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Yep.  <he takes a swig from the bottle and offers it back to her> And you said you couldn't lie!
[02:07] arynwyn: Mai: <takes a drink as well and grins> Maybe I'm better than I thought. <she turns the meat again and tears a strip off> The food's almost done, I think. <looks back at him> Your turn.
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Right right. <think think> ((Ohhh, I just thought of a way this game could get awkward...)) I used to bleach my hair.
[02:10] arynwyn: (( do tell. ))
[02:10] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks> Bleach your hair? <studies him a moment> True.
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Here's a situation for you:  Mal: My turn? Right.  <think> I love you.  Truth or Lie? ))
[02:11] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Oh wow. You should SO do that. <giggle> ))
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs> Got me.  Tera was a natural blonde, and after she...died, I did it to be closer to her.
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> further along ^_~))
[02:12] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and hands him the bottle> Sweet. Drink up. <she pulls the meat away from the fire and hands one stick to him> And eat up. <she tears into the meat> Mmm... Let's see, my turn... I'm allergic to moonberries.
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I hope not, it's what the drink's made of!  Just kidding...<pulls some meat off with his teeth and chews thoughtfully> ...Lie?
[02:15] arynwyn: (( Damn. Was going to have it be true. Oh well. ))
[02:15] arynwyn: (( oh, bleh ))
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shrugs> stick with it.  that's what I do.))
[02:15] arynwyn: (( Missed the "just kidding". >.> ))
[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh okay xD ))
[02:15] arynwyn: Mai: Is it made of moonberries? 'cause it's true. I am allergic to them. 
[02:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It's not.  It's a honey mead.  But I called lie and it's true, so...<drinks from the bottle>
[02:17] arynwyn: Mai: <grins and eats some more meat> Your turn. And I think I'm winning. <giggles>
[02:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: And you were worried...I may be getting hustled here...<he laughs and eats some more meat as he ponders what to say> One time a Lady at one of the houses I trade with offered to pay me in sex.
[02:19] arynwyn: Mai: <freezes and looks over at him> Did you accept?...
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Does that mean you think it's true? <eats more food and grins at her>
[02:20] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks> Uhm, yeah. I guess so. Did she? Did you?...
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It's a lie. <offers her the bottle after he takes his drink>  A Lady of the house never offered...but several maids, kitchen girls and cooks have.  And no, I have never accepted, though I did date one of the servants at a house for awhile.  She and I said it as a joke, but it wasn't honestly true.  We broke up and I still trade with that house.
[02:24] arynwyn: Mai: <breathes a sigh of relief and gladly drinks> Did you... <clears her throat> Nevermind. <she takes another bite of the meat and chews thoughtfully> Uhm... I've never had a boyfriend, since we're on the subject...
[02:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Heh.  You could've made that a game statement.  Did I what though?
[02:25] arynwyn: Mai: It was. <grins> And it's none of my business. 
[02:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: No, no, it's okay.  And....true.  You're too sweet and innocent. <smiles>
[02:27] arynwyn: Mai: I was just going to ask if you and the maid... uhm... <bites her bottom lip> And I kind of did. I ran into a childhood friend, a while back, and we dating for a while. He said he loved me. And then he disappered. <sighs a little>
[02:29] arynwyn: *dated
[02:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm sorry to hear that.  <drinks and gives her the bottle>  And yes, she was a maid, and yes, we slept together.  We only dated a few weeks though, and that was....years ago.  Let me think of a statement...
[02:30] arynwyn: Mai: <takes a long drink and sets her meat aside>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <eats more meat> The last time I was in the city, I was kissed by a guy.
[02:32] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles> Oh gods, I hope that one's a lie. 
[02:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: One of many many reasons I don't go into the city anymore.  I know only you're supposed to drink, but do you mind? <takes a quick half-swig before offering the bottle to her> He wouldn't take "I'm not interested in men" as an answer.  I responded to his kiss with my fist in his face, I'm afraid.
[02:34] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> Wow. <she takes the bottle back and drinks deeply. she scoots away from the fire a bit, her body heating up from the alcohol> Let's see... <giggles a little> You were my first kiss. 
[02:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <without hesitation> LIE.  You going to tell me this childhood sweetheart of yours told you he loved you and didn't even try for a kiss? LIIIIIEEE.... <eats the meeeeat>
[02:36] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> He only ever kissed my cheek. <she holds the bottle out for him> I never let him kiss me. Our kiss on the swing, my reward for eating a good dinner with you, was my first kiss..
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <blinks at her and takes the bottle in shock> I'm...honored. <drinks a little, still eyeing her, then licks his lips and thinks.  The mead's starting to really affect him> I spend more time looking at your breasts than at any other part of you. <grin>
[02:41] arynwyn: Mai: <turns crimson> Oh dear. Uhm... true. <giggles a little>
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oh you bet.  So no one drinks this round.  <grins>  And, might I just say? Very Nice.
[02:45] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles again and punches his arm playfully> My turn... Uhm... <leans in close, a little tipsy as well> I'd sleep with you, if you'd let me. <bites her bottom lip and grins, and takes takes a drink from the bottle anyway>
[02:45] arynwyn: *minus one of the takes. >.>
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Dear gods, let that be true...
[02:47] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and leans over to kiss him in a teasing sort of way> Your turn. 
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...so...is that a yes?  'cause if you're spontaneously bathing naked with me, I'd hope that'd mean you'd want to sleep with me.  Not that...I'm not...<sighs> I just...need to know if I should be drinking...
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh wait n/m))
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((missed the nod somehow :P ))
[02:48] arynwyn: (( No worries. I do it all the time. ^^ ))
[02:49] arynwyn: (( we could roll with it. ))
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((...sure.  he's getting on towards drunk; maybe he missed it too))
[02:51] arynwyn: Mai: <grins> That's a yes. I thought that was obvious? I mean, why else would I have gotten into that river with you? Naked... <kisses his neck, sucking on the skin gently> But I know you don't want to. <pulls away and takes another drink> Somethin' wrong with me, I think. 
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oh gods...you think I don't want to?  Okay, here's a statement: I wait for you to fall asleep every night so I can sneak away to jerk off and relieve the tension you're constantly inspiring in me.
[02:53] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks at him> True. Here's mine: I've snuck after you and watched you do it. More than once. <giggles a little and takes another drink, handing the bottle over to him>
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he blinks, going red> ...please tell me that's a lie.
[02:54] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and shakes her head> Nope. S'true. Drink up! <leans over to whisper in  his ear, her breath hot on his skin> And it was damn sexy. <grin>
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <blush> You're an EVIL fairy princess, I see.  I declare punishment! <tickles her sides>
[02:56] arynwyn: Mai: <squeals and giggles and tries to escape, but merely falls down on the ground> Forgive me, sir Knight! 
[02:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mmm, maybe...<tickle-assault continues> You did invade my very VERY private privacy after all...
[02:58] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles harder> Privates... <attempts to crawl away, trying to catch her breath> Your turn. <grins at him>
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <lets her go and takes his drink for calling lie on a truth> Hmmm... <he looks at her, breathing heavily from the tickling and flushed from the alcohol, and smiles softly> Okay.  I love you.  Truth or Lie?
[03:01] arynwyn: Mai: <freezes again and stares at him for a long moment,  not daring to hope...> Lie. <stands and goes over to him, taking a long drink from the bottle, but she watches him out of the corner of her eye>
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: If that wasn't your drink for falsely accusing me, drink again. <looks at her as steadily as the mead will allow>
[03:04] arynwyn: Mai: <stands there, staring at him for what seems like forever, then takes another drink. she sits down next to him, looking into the fire> My turn. I love you too. <looks over at him, a blush still in her cheeks>
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <gives up the game and kisses her with a somewhat sloppy passion>
[03:06] arynwyn: Mai: <wraps her arms around him and kisses him back, scooting closer to him, whispering> It's true, Mal. It's true. I love you. <nuzzles his neck gently>
[03:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I love you too, fairy princess <kiss kiss...pause.  He's not quite That drunk> ...and as much as I'd love to spend a night drunkenly making love to you...I can't.
[03:10] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs a little> Why? Is there something wrong with me?... Or what? What is it?
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: The only thing wrong with you is the addiction, as far as I'm concerned.  <kiss>  I made a promise...a promise to protect you from everything...from everybody.  Including myself....especially myself.
[03:12] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls away a little> A promise? To yourself? And I don't think I'm in any danger from you, Mal. You've done nothing but help me. 
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: A promise to myself...and to your family.  A man travelling alone with a woman, especially a woman of good family - and I'm not talking nobility, just good, decent, moral family - there are certain...concerns about what will happen with the two of them.
[03:15] arynwyn: Mai: <stands up> Oh, I see. So, my family thought, since I was stupid enough to get mixed up with this magic addiction, I'm stupid enough to sleep with just anyone?  I'm a grown woman, I think I can make these decisions for myself. <she goes over to her pack and starts spreading her bedroll, muttering to herself>
[03:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It isn't that.  They were concerned that I'd...well, seduce you, at best, or rape you, at worst.  They don't know me.  It's a valid concern.
[03:18] arynwyn: Mai: Yes, well, I know you. And if they did know you, they'd never think such things. <looks over at him and shakes her head> Forget it. We'll do things your way. <she crawls in her bedroll and turns over, facing away from him> 
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <is one of those guys who, when having a lot to drink, loses the ability to keep his interior monologue "interior"> MY way, you say.  If we were doing things my way, I'd be inside you by now.  And they didn't know me then.  They eventually agreed.  But the promise makes them feel better.  If I were in their position I'd ask the same.  And...well, it's just...it's the good, moral, decent thing to do...not that it makes it any easier.  Gods, do you know when you got in the river with me that one time, I thought I was going to DIE from lust overload.  Well, and shock, but...
[03:24] arynwyn: Mai: <turns back over> Mal, if you wanted to, you would. <shakes her head> Unless you're keeping some kind of detailed travel log of every move we make, how do you expect them to find out? And if we love each other, then why is it so wrong? Why? Tell me that.
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I've got about 45 minutes before I should try and do some sleepings))
 Mal: ... ... ...because I promised.  And no, they won't know...but I will.  I'll know I broke my word.  I promised to protect you on this trip.  Once it's over...the promise is done.
[03:27] arynwyn: (( Okies. ))
[03:28] arynwyn: Mai: Fine. <rolls back over> I'll be sure to make things easy on you then. No more kissing, no more flirting, no more drinking games. Not a problem. <sighs>
[03:29] arynwyn: (( class tomorrow, and work too? ))
[03:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Kissing you doesn't cause me problems.  Flirting doesn't cause me problems.  This is the only drinking game that's caused problems....but then it's the only one we've played.
[03:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((lab and then Stargate.  We're also carving pumpkins. :3  I should have time between the two...depending on whether or not I nap))
[03:30] arynwyn: Mai: <says quietly> Kissing and flirting causes me problems. 
[03:30] arynwyn: (( nice!! ))
[03:30] arynwyn: (( okies. uhm... like what time-ish? do you know? ))
[03:31] arynwyn: *cause
[03:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lessee - lab is done at 2:15...I'll be home between 2:30-3 PM (all times EST).  Lisa said she'd call me, but she doesn't get off work until 5 I think, and she has to go to the gym, so it'll be like 6 or 7 before she calls))
[03:33] arynwyn: (( mkay... Tim doesn't work tomorrow and I've no idea what he has planned for the weekend. I'll try to be up around 9ish tomorrow but I can't promise anything. )0
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Okay then.  Should I think of some other incentive for you, rather than a kiss a day?
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That's fine. If you're not here, I'll either get on WoW or play Sims ^_^; ))
[03:34] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs> No. No, I want the kiss a day. I just... It's not fair that this decision has been taken away from me. Do you think that's fair?
[03:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ....probably not.  But it is what it is.  And sadly I can't really make it up to until after we get back.
[03:36] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> We should try and get some sleep. More trekking tomorrow, you know. <light smile>
[03:37] Chaos Angel Sox: *make it up to you   yeesh
[03:37] arynwyn: (( I figured. ^^ ))
[03:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ....still mad at me?
[03:38] arynwyn: Mal: <sighs a little> I wasn't mad at you. I'm... annoyed with my family, I suppose, but.. I'm fine. 
[03:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: They're just trying to protect you, that's all.  Still love me?  If you say no, you're getting tickled again.
[03:41] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles> Of course I still love you, silly Knight. Heh, at least this way I know you're not like Monty who I suspected of saying "I love you" just to get into my pants. <smiles at him>
[03:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Exactly. <kisses her cheek> Though I admit I'm glad to hear he failed.
[03:43] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls him close for a tight hug> Like I said before, I'm not stupid. I've done a few stupid things, but... nothing like that.
[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...next time we play this game, I'm going to try and get the details of what you did with this Monty guy out of you, you realize....
[03:44] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> We don't have to play the game. You can ask me anything you want, whenever you want. 
[03:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: So.....? You and this Monty character....did what exactly?
[03:49] arynwyn: Mai: <stretches out> He showed up when I was just beginning my mage training, which was a long time before Suravi got married and Taena left. I was just doing it for fun, mostly. He's a Blood Knight, and I ran into him on Sunstrider Isle. We had been friends as children; he liked to pull my hair at school and make me cry. We talked for a long time after we ran into each other, and he ended up confessing that he had always been in love with me. But I wasn't sure if I believed him. We dated for a while, but I kept myeslf distant. I was wary of him. Like I said, I never allowed him to kiss me. He kissed my cheek, held my hand... but that's all. Then he talked of us going off, kind of like this I supposed, to train together. I told him I didn't want to leave my sisters, and that they thought it was a bad idea for me to go off with a man like that. And yes, I see the similarity. <sticks her tongue out at him and continues> And after that night, I never saw him again.
[03:50] arynwyn: *suppose
[03:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: so...he never massaged any leg cramps for you? <grin>
[03:50] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> No, he didn't. I'd rather have suffered the cramp than take my pants off around hiim.
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs> Well, I'm honored again.  You have gorgeous legs too, by the way.  And very soft skin.  <smiles at her> Any other information you want out of me?
[03:51] arynwyn: Mai: You could tell me about this maid... <raises an eyebrow at him>
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <chuckles> What do you want to know?  We flirted with each other when she came to that house, then started dating.  Our dates were all pretty much the same - she'd bring a picnic lunch out into the woods, just far enough that they couldn't see or hear us having post-meal sex, then she went back.  She finally told me, after...3 weeks, I think?...that I was just a rebound from the last guy who dumped her, which I had begun to suspect anyway.  We went our separate ways, and she eventually married some other guy and left that house to work at one in the city to be closer to him.  <shrugs, then adds> I didn't love her, didn't even think I did.  She wasn't half as clever or even a quarter as beautiful as you are.
[03:57] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs> Yes, I am the beautiful and clever one, but she is the one you slept with. Life is cruel. <pulls her fur cloak up for warmth>
[03:58] arynwyn: <melodrama>
[03:58] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[03:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <leans down and whispers> I won't let either of us die without making love to you first.  I promise. <and kisses her ear>
[03:59] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nuzzles his neck> Mmm... okay. I'll accept that. 
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Good.  Get some sleep then.  I'd say we're about...2-3 weeks away now.
[04:03] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and kisses his cheek> Sleep well. Pleasant dreams. And always remember, I love you. 
[04:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I love you too, fairy princess.  Sweet dreams.
[04:04] arynwyn: (( going to bed now? ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah, it's about time and sleep sounds...kinda good.))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( ditto on that one. <huggles> ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, sleepy sarahkins?))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((SLEEP!!! <huggleses>))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( <laughs and huggles> You too! Good luck in lab tomorrow and if I don't see you before, uhm, whatever it was you're doing with your friend, have fun. And I'll see you when I see you, I guess. ))
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Yep yep.  I hope you have really good sleepings and fun with Tim and think up more good RP stuff also ^_^ ))
[04:06] arynwyn: (( Hehe, thanks. I'll work on it. ^^ ))
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((all I can ask.  :) Nighters!))
[04:06] arynwyn: (( night! ))

 He still has 103 degree fever...but not pneumonia!
 
 How's your day been? 
[23:01] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Doin' some other stuffs. Eating or chillin' with the husband. 
[23:01] arynwyn: Pretty good. Slept most of it. Been talking to Mark and hanging with Tim the rest of it.
[23:01] Chaos Angel Sox: good talks and good hanging? 
 Um...good hanging...that sounded bad...
[23:02] arynwyn: <snerk> Yes. Both
[23:02] arynwyn: How about you? Have fun?
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Yessss.  Mmm, Stargate.  Sorry I'm back so late.  Forgot two very important factors in my time estimates:
 
 1) It's Homecoming weekend, and
 2) Lisa and I always gab after the last ep. ^_^;;
[23:03] arynwyn: No worries. ^^
[23:04] arynwyn: I'm up for RPness, if you are. :-D
[23:04] arynwyn: Got one thing I wanna throw at Mai & Mal. <grin>
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: I require rum & cokeness first.  and then, oh yes, there shall be RP.
 
 Yay! I knew you'd think up something :3  you're good that way.
[23:05] arynwyn: <laugh>
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Okay whatcha got? 
[23:08] arynwyn: Uhm... one night, in Ashenvale, before they get to Splintertree... they should be asleep, or going to bed at least.
[23:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Huh, what? I was sleeping... Wakey wakey, story time!  Mal: Oh good.  Can I sleep with the woman I love yet?  Um, no.  Mal: <curse swear> Can I go back to sleep then so I can at least dream about it?  No.))
[23:09] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((do you have a preference between fully unconscious or getting ready for unconsciousness?))
[23:10] arynwyn: (( well, the fun doesn't begin until they're asleep. ))
[23:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <is asleep>
[23:11] arynwyn: Mai: <sleeping also>
 
 <two cloaked figures appear. one kneels next to Mal and puts a knife to his throat while the other begins to bind his hands, then his feet>
[23:11] arynwyn: (( BANDITS! ))
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((DUN DUN DUN!))
[23:11] arynwyn: (( ugh, it messed up my font! <cry> ))
[23:12] arynwyn: (( And Mal is supposed to  be helpless, that's the point... ))
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((guy with the knife covering Mal's mouth too?))
[23:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bandit person.  could be a girl with a knife...))
[23:13] arynwyn: (( Uhm... yes. ))
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Just checking))
 Mal: <starts awake, eyes wide at first, then narrowing to angry slits.  He struggles ineffectually against his captors; his eyes flit to Mai in fear for her safety>
[23:14] arynwyn: <the bandits finish tying him up, then move away from him (leaving him ungagged) and head over to Mai>
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: MAIREN!  RUN!  <as loud as he possibly can, still flopping helplessly as he tries to escape his bonds>
[23:17] arynwyn: <the bandits are too quick, however, and they grab her before she even has a change to sit up. they leer lecherous at her, whispering to themselves, and pull her to her feet>
 Mai: MAL! <struggles futilely against her captors> 
 <they begin to drag her toward the woods>
[23:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <his hands glow out of reflex to do something, anything, but of course, it's no use; he squeezes his eyes shut, trying to think desperately of a way out of this>
[23:21] arynwyn: Mai: <screams suddenly> NO! <she Frost Novas, freezing the two bandits in place, and while they are stunned, pulls herself free. she turns to face them, anger overtaking her fear, and Fire Blasts one. he screams in pain, and breaks free of the ice, running off into the woods. She turns to the other, who's looking at her fearfully, and starts casting Fireball. It hits him hard, knocking him back on the ground and ingiting him. he scrambles to his feet and takes off after his friend>
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <his eyes fly open hearing her shout...and he watches her in growing relief> Mairen!  Are you alright? <trying to sit up and not look like the catch of the day...which of course doesn't work>
[23:25] arynwyn: Mai: <falls to her knees, catching her breath for a moment, then turns to look at him. her left cheek is cut, and there's a thin line of blood across her neck where the knife had pressed into her skin, and her arms have red handprints where she had been held> I'm... I'm okay. <she crawls over to him and begins untying him> Are you?
[23:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <when he can, he sits up and pulls her into his arms, holding onto her tightly and burying his face into her hair> I'm fine...now. <he strokes her hair with one hand as well, closing his eyes and reassuring himself that she's okay>
[23:30] arynwyn: Mai: <is trembling and she clings to him tightly> Did they hurt you? I was so scared... 
[23:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Plush Poop Hat....only in Japan....))
[23:30] arynwyn: (( so, is she going to go through withdrawal since she used magic? ))
[23:31] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[23:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shakes his head> I'm fine, I'm fine.  I was terrified though...for you.
 
 ((Hmm.  Normally no?  But now she actually needs to regain mana spent, the temptation to relapse might be pretty strong...))
[23:32] arynwyn: (( Mkay. ))
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Also: Hello Kitty Vibrator.  I'm not kidding.))
[23:32] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[23:32] arynwyn: Mai: Me too. I... <shakes her head and buries her face in his neck, crying softly>
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm sorry, princess.  Your knight failed you.  <still stroking her hair soothingly, holding her tighter>
[23:35] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> Please, don't say that. You were... were all tied up. <she looks up at him, and kisses him gently>
[23:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <kisses her back fiercely for a moment, then returns to just hugging her half to death> I'm so sorry, Mairen.  I don't know what I would have done if...gods I don't want to think about that.
[23:38] arynwyn: Mai: <wipes at her tears> This is why... <shakes her head and falls silent, still clinging to him>
[23:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...why what? <Not Letting Go>
[23:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hope she doesn't have to go to the bathroom anytime soon...))
[23:39] arynwyn: (( how'd you get your own pic up for your expressions? ))
[23:39] arynwyn: (( <Laugh> ))
[23:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hm?))
[23:39] arynwyn: Mai: Remember your promise last night?... What if... what if something does happen? I mean... <sighs a little> What if something had happened?
[23:40] arynwyn: (( Your pic on AIM. How'd you get that pic instead of just using one of the crappy ones they give you? ))
[23:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh. Umm...hold on))
[23:40] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Trillian has an option to set your icon to whatever you want, within certain parameters))
[23:41] arynwyn: (( oh, damn. ))
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I use LJ icons))
[23:41] arynwyn: (( mkay, thanks. ))
[23:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((There's a way to do it with AIM - I just don't remember it))
[23:42] arynwyn: (( oh well. ^^ ))
[23:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ... ...Mai...I'll do what I can to keep that promise.  To the best of my ability.  I swear.  But right now...I have this other promise I have to keep too.  If I'd break one, then what good is my word?
[23:45] arynwyn: Mai:  <nods and sniffs a little> I know. I'm sorry. I just... <shakes her head again> You're right. <nuzzles his neck> We should try and sleep again. But I'm sleeping here, with you.
[23:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Damn right you are. <holds her tighter>
[23:47] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little and lays down, pulling him with her, and snuggling into his arms> 
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://metanoia.studiowhippingboy.com/template.cgi?2+9+0)(Link: http://metanoia.studiowhippingboy.com/template.cgi?2+9+0)http://metanoia.studiowhippingboy.com/template.cgi?2+9+0  I love this comic.  And damn the cover art for chapter 9 is pretty))
[23:48] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:48] arynwyn: (( So, that's all I had planned. ))
[23:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((My cat is a tease.))
[23:49] arynwyn: (( ?? ))
[23:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He climbs up on my chair, then puts one paw on my lap...and stays there, as if considering whether or not he wants to be in my lap...and then goes to his little platform thing next to my computer desk and turns his back to me.  TEASE))
[23:52] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I made Mal in Sims 2 (though I changed his name to Malcolm).  I had him meet Amaryne and talk to her and then his wants changed the next day to "Wants to Invite Someone Over" so I had him call Ryne...only she doesn't have a phone 'cause I haven't finished her house yet ~_~ ))
[23:53] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:54] arynwyn: (( Oh, so I have Mya's guy all planned out. Though I'm a little scared of RPing him with her 'cause she scares me. >.> ))
[23:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh> Mya scares you?))
[23:54] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[23:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Why for? :( ))
[23:56] arynwyn: (( Dunno. She's so touchy. I'm afraid she won't like my guy. And I'm afraid I'll set her off somehow. ))
[23:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You forget that you speak to the goddess of Mya's universe.  I will make her like him.))
[23:58] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okay. Well, we can do him or we can keep going with Mal & Mai. ))
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmmm....which makes you all happy and fluffy inside?))
[00:00] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Both do. What about you? ))
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm.  On one hand, I know Mal & Mai make me happy and fluffy inside... ( (Link: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=193)(Link: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=193)http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=193 ), but on the other, I'm pretty damn sure the new guy for Mya will too....Oh bother...))
[00:03] arynwyn: (( Heh, he's not exactly Prince Charming... But there are a few interesting twists I've come up with. Or am working on, I guess. ))
[00:04] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Oh dear. ))
[00:04] Chaos Angel Sox: (( I shouldn't laugh at that as much as I do.  <snicker> "Be my mercy angel, Piglet."))
[00:04] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))

[00:06] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> ))
[00:07] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=200)http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=200  They made a T-shirt based on this comic - and I own it :3 Joe got it for me for Xmas - wrapped my DS in it ^_^
[00:08] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Niiiice. ))
[00:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Anyways....hmmm....Mal & Mai and then Mya's new guy? >.> so many M's))
[00:11] arynwyn: (( Sure. ))
[00:11] arynwyn: (( you wanna start? ))
[00:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm...not sure what to do with them...all he's going to do at Splintertree is trade stuff...unless you wanna skip straight to Da Droods?))
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((which reminds me: I deleted Mahola today.  No more dancing bear for you!))
[00:13] arynwyn: (( We can, sure. And I can't find anything on Kael'thas or Ithillian on WoWWiki... ))
[00:13] arynwyn: (( Awww. ))
[00:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((woogy.  Ithillian?))
[00:14] arynwyn: (( yeah. trying to find a place to search... ))
[00:15] arynwyn: (( found Kael'thas. ))
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't know what Ithillian is...?))
[00:15] arynwyn: (( >.> )
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not that that's terribly surprising...))
[00:16] arynwyn: (( uhm, okay. thought he was a big part of BE lore, read about him on the WoW site, but can't remember now... >.< ))
[00:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Illidan?))
[00:16] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Er, yeah, him. >.> ))
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh okee. ^_^;  Just promise me you will never ever have any of this "children of Illidan" crap? Pleeeeeaaseee?))
[00:17] arynwyn: (( mmm. got it. thanks. though he's not who i thought him was. ))
[00:17] arynwyn: (( NO! ))
[00:17] arynwyn: *thought HE was
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay droods it is then...))
[00:17] arynwyn: (( Mkay, so... for Mya's guy, I only need to worry about Kael'thas. Sweet. ))
[00:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O oh dear...))
[00:18] arynwyn: (( Well, not like that. You'll see. <grin> ))
[00:18] arynwyn: (( Yes, do da droods. ))
[00:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <The Sanctuary is deep within the borders of the toxic Felwood.  Our intrepid journeyers' supplies are running low, and the surrounding flora, fauna and water are all corrupted, tainted and impure.  Even the snow has taken on a nasty greenish tinge as it sits on poisoned soil.>
 Mal: We're almost there.  We just have to get most of the way up these cliffs here...<looking almost straight up at a wall of snow and moss-covered rock>...piece of cake. <he grins at Mai>  And then it's food, clean water, and soft beds.  Also meditation, some menial chores, and getting in touch with the Earthmother.  But just you wait until the Midwinter Festival!  They live a kind of...sparse daily existence, but they can throw one heck of a party!
[00:23] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at the cliff and tries not to show her dismay> Up this?... Alright. A kiss, in case I fall to my death?  <light smile>
[00:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: As if I'd let you die...<but he pulls her in close and kisses her anyway>  C'mon, it's not as bad as it looks.  Just be sure of your hand and footholds...<starts climbing>
[00:25] arynwyn: Mai: <kisses back and smiles, then turns and begins climbing carefully, trying to put her hands and feet where he did>
[00:25] arynwyn: (( Oh! My mommy mailed us the top tier of our wedding cake to eat on our 1 year anniversary! :-D ))
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: <One long, grueling climb later, they reach a wide plateau.  The Sanctuary seems to be a mostly Night Elven built structure, though it's surrounded by a Tauren leather-and-wood wall and has a lot of Tauren decor about it.  Two guards stand outside the single gate (and apparently only entrance in or out): one is a night elf male and the other a Tauren female.  
 Mal tips his hat to them both as he reaches the top.  They smile and wave, but he barely notices as he turns around and reaches a hand down to Mai to help her>
 
 ((Yay! :D  Cake!))
[00:28] arynwyn: (( ^^ ))
[00:28] arynwyn: Mai: <takes his hand and pulls herself up, then bends to dust herself off> Did we make it? <looks up and smiles>
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You made it, princess.  We're here.  <he puts an arm around her waist and leads her through the gate.  Inside the walls, the main Sanctuary building dominates.  There are smaller buildings surrounding it, and the Moonwell is plainly visible at the back.  A female night elf, swathed in robes and fur, comes out and hugs Mal>
 The Earthmother has guided your steps back to us, Malseir.  And she bids you bring another, no less?
 Mal: <nods> Verona, this is Mairen Truedawn.  She's battling her magic addiction, as I am, though hers is much stronger.  She needs help in her fight, and of course, I thought of you.
 Verona: Of course.  <she hugs Mai too, then steps back to take her in, smiling> Come in and warm yourselves.  We have warm food and a welcoming hearth for you both.
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mental Note: Do Not Try and Drink the Salsa...))
[00:35] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs the Night Elf awkwardly, unused to being so close to them. she steps back over to Mal after she pulls away, looking around apprehensively. she says softly> This place is beautiful. 
[00:35] arynwyn: (( <LOL> I know the feeling. ))
[00:36] arynwyn: (( <ponders an ice cream sundae... mmm... chocolate ice cream, sliced bananas and hot fudge... ))
[00:36] arynwyn: (( *> ))
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I lived here a few years.  It's nice. <he grins, taking her hand as he leads her in>
 Verona: If you didn't bring us at least four jars of that honey of yours, Malseir, Brother Gronen will be most displeased....
 Mal: <chuckles> 6 this year, in the hopes he'll make that honey-roasted ham of his for the Festival.
 Verona: I told him I'm kicking him out if he doesn't. <she laughs melodically and gestures to the oversized cushions and warm fur blankets laid out near a roaring fireplace> I'll have some rooms warmed up for...each of you? <she eyes Mal>
 Mal: <coughs and clears his throat> That'd be...for the best, thank you.
 Verona: <makes an odd face, like something is trying to rise out of her throat and she won't let it.  She's obviously trying not to smile, so it's a safe bet she's swallowing laughter.  She manages to straighten her face out and bows to the two of them> I'll send someone out with something to warm you.  What would you like?
 Mal: Drunk chocolate and I'll love you forever. <flopping onto a cushion and closing his eyes> In a purely brotherly sense.
[00:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((go for the sundae!!))
[00:41] arynwyn: Mai: <smiling happily, she sits down next to him, pulling off her pack and stretching out> Mmm... this is so nice. <she closes her eyes as well and snuggles into the fur> D'you think we'll get hot baths too? 
[00:41] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods blissfully> Oh yes.  You'll bathe first, with the other women here.  
 <random night elf druid comes out with two mugs of what appear to be hot chocolate>
 Mal: Ohhhhh thank the Earthmother herself. <he takes a mug, blows on it and sips> Mmm, drunk chocolate.  Touch of cinnamon in it this time? <the druid nods>  I can tell.  Goes nicely with the spirits.  <he advises Mai before she drinks hers> It's basically hot chocolate with booze in it.  Not enough to actually make you drunk - well, not on one mug... <the druid laughs, stands, and heads out>...but enough to give you that extra lasting warmth. <grin>
[00:46] arynwyn: Mai: <takes her mug and gives her thanks, then sips at it> Wow, this is excellent. <she blows on hers as well, then drinks it down quickly> Mmmm...
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Good for playing Truth or Lie with during winter...
 Verona: <her voice floats down behind them> Malseir learned that game here: Truth or Lie? <she grins>
[00:48] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles> It's a fun game, I think. We should play it again sometime. <grins at Mal and finishes off her mug>
[00:51] arynwyn: (( mmmmmm! <shares sundae> ))
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <laughs> You never did waste time, Malseir.  Your rooms are warming; I'll show you where to put your packs down and then Brother Gronen wants to start unloading your goodies right away.  He's working on tonight's dinner already: since he knew you'd be coming, he wanted it to be special. <leading them upstairs>
 Mal: He knew...? Oh right.  Spend so much time away, I tend to forget these things...
 Verona: And after dinner, I'll want to speak with Miss Truedawn.
 Mal: <nods> Of course.  Will that be okay, Mairen?  Or are you too tired tonight?
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay!))
[00:52] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks and blushes a little, following. she gives Mal a strange look> Tonight is fine. <swallow>
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Great. <he drinks from his mug as they walk>
 Verona: <gestures to two side-by-side doors> It doesn't matter which of you takes which room...<she opens the nearest door: it's a sparse, simple room: a single bed beneath a window with thick heavy curtains to help keep out the cold, a nightstand, a small chest to keep clothes in.  The chest has a pitcher of water, a basin, two handtowels and a mug atop it.  The main feature of the room is an arch at the bottom of one wall; there's a semicircular iron lattice gate that separates the arch opening from the rest of the room - because there's a pile of burning logs there.  Closer investigation reveals that there's another room on the other side, the mirror image of this one - the two share this same fireplace, and the wall between them is a large chimney flue essentially>...just don't try to pass notes to each other through the fireplace. <she smiles>
[00:59] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and goes over to inspect the fireplace> That's neat. I've never seen a fireplace like that before. <turns to Mal> Pick a room. 
[01:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You can have this one. <ducks out and into the other room.  He leans his face down to grin and wave at her through the fireplace before dumping his pack on the floor near the bed>
 Verona: While you're here, we can provide clothing for you, as well as a means to wash and repair the clothing and gear you brought with you.  We are quite willing to barter, buy and sell items.  Naturally, we'll provide food.  Breakfast is early and dinner's late; lunch...well, I'll let Malseir tell you about lunch. <she smiles>  I'm afraid that you'll mostly have to use the pitcher and basin to sort of spot wash most of the time, but we are getting ready for the women's bathing at the hot springs nearby, if you want to join us, Miss Truedawn?  In fact, we could talk there.
 Mal: <can be heard to laugh> Good plan.  After one of Gronen's meals, I'm usually too stuffed to think...or move.  And that'll give me time to get my business out of the way.  Sound good?
[01:06] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and waves back at Mal, then turns to listen to Verona> The hot springs sound lovely. <as she sets her pack down> 
[01:06] arynwyn: (( Heh, I just realized something... My NE Druid is Averona. <giggle> ))
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I swear I didn't know that...))
[01:07] arynwyn: (( S'ok. Verona is EXACTLY like Avey too. :-D ))
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <smiles> Good.  I'll get you a towel, robe and slippers.  Be right back. <she ducks out>
 Mal: Heh, what do you think so far? <from in his room>
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ^_^ ))
[01:08] arynwyn: Mai: <sits down on the bed> This place is amazing. Why did you ever move away from here? I almost don't want to go back.
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Heh, they haven't put you to work yet.  <he chuckles> Honestly, it was hard to leave.  But I had to see if I could make my own way, and I missed Eversong.  I figure when I get old and frail enough that I can't reliably make the trip back and forth every winter, I'll just stay here.
[01:12] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Sounds like a lovely dream. <starts to daydream about staying here with Mal as she lays back on the bed and closes her eyes> And, after the trek we took, I welcome the work, if it means I get a real bed and some decent meals.
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs> Yeah well you'll get something soft like kitchen duty or something.  And believe me, they'll work your fingers off in that kitchen, but I'd take that over splitting logs.
 Verona: Everyone earns their keep in the way that they best can, Malseir.
 Mal: That's fine, Verona, but can you keep the younger girls off me this time?  I swear one of them tried to hump my leg last year...
 Verona: Oh no, no.  I'm far too busy for putting up with their nonsense.  Perhaps that can be Miss Truedawn's job? <she grins and winks at Mairen, offering a warm robe, soft towel and some moccasin looking slippers to her>
 
[01:18] arynwyn: Mai: <sits up and takes the clothing> Girls? What?.... <tries not to look too jealous as she stands up> Nevermind, I'm not sure I want to know. <light smile>
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <barely audible grumbling>
 Verona: Oh yes, when Malseir is chopping wood for us, he often ends up so sweaty, despite the weather, that he has to strip down to the waist.  It's quite the attraction.  I could raise a hefty sum charging to view him in his rugged, glistening beauty...
 Mal: Verona...<he whines, drawing her name out; he sounds like a petulant younger brother.  He clears his throat to try and keep the whine out> Don't you have bathing to see to?
 Verona: <laughs> Seriously, he's too much of a distraction to some of the girls.  Keeps them from their duties...
 Mal: Yeah I got a solution to that: Don't have me chopping wood!
 Verona: Hmmm...nope! <chortles to herself, then addresses Mai> Go ahead and change, Miss Truedawn, and I'll meet you downstairs. And no peeking, Malseir! <as she leaves>
 Mal: I swear, she doesn't take part in the leerings I get sometimes, but it amuses her far too damn much...
[01:25] arynwyn: Mai: ... ... ...<begins to change, tossing her dirty and torn clothing in the corner and slipping into the clothes she was given> 
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Enjoy the hot springs.  And don't dirty them up too much; it's the men's turn after dinner.  <he grins through the fireplace at her>
[01:27] arynwyn: Mai: <gives a small smile and nods, then slips out of the door and heads downstairs. she looks around nervously for Verona, feeling vulnerable in her robe and hoping the men here aren't like these "girls" or like the men at the Bulwark>
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: <There's a congregation of night elf and tauren females at the bottom of the stairs, all in robes and slippers, carrying towels.  Those who have long enough hair for it have their hair pinned or pulled up.  They're talking and chatting; those who see Mairen smile and nod at her and go back to their conversations.  They are all of varying ages, and there are a few who could rightly be described as girls; they look barely beyond their teen years>
 Verona: <comes downstairs, now attired as the rest of the women.  She smiles at Mairen and claps her hands once to get attention.  Everyone falls silent> This is Mairen Truedawn, Malseir Ashtaron's...guest.  She'll be with us at least through the Festival.  Doreia and Brenta, you're in charge of making sure we're back in time for dinner.  Pair up and head out, ladies.  <And they get in line, two abreast, and amble out a backdoor, resuming their chatting and laughing.  Verona walks with Mairen> We don't go to the hot springs often, only once a week, except for special occasions, like the Midwinter Festival.  <the path to the hot springs is a scattering of large flat stones poking up from the foot-packed snow>  So tell me how you met Malseir and how desperately you're in love with him? <she grins teasingly>
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Forgot to mention that Verona does have long hair, so it is piled on her head at the moment))
[01:36] arynwyn: Mai:  <smiles and falls in line> Mal sells honey and other things to the cook at my sister's home. I had been staying with my sister after they found out about my addiction. <looks at the ground> I was swinging out back and he come up to introduce himself. Ever since then we've been friends. When he found out about my addiction, he offered to bring me here. And... very desperately. <grin>
[01:37] arynwyn: (( Mairen's hair is too short to really tie up. It's about chin length. ))
[01:37] arynwyn: *he came up
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <laughs> Yes, well, knowing him, he's being the proper gentleman about it.  I hope he's at least kissed you...oh be careful, this stone is loose.  And I should warn you: if I catch you spying when the men have their turn in the hot springs, you'll be punished, guest or no. <she smiles, but it's clear she means it>
[01:40] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes and shakes her head> I'd never... <clears her throat> Yes, he's being a gentleman. He actually promised my family he'd protect me from everything, including himself. <she steps over the loose stone> He gives me a kiss a day for every day I keep from giving into my addiction. That's the best incentive a girl can have.
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <laughs again> Well, I feel I should tell you now that I have kissed Malseir, but it was one time and very briefly.  It was part of a particularly rowdy Truth or Lie game one evening when he lived here.  I don't have anything but the most sisterly feelings for him, I promise, but I don't want you to hear it from someone else and get upset.
[01:43] arynwyn: Mai: ... <nods and stares at the ground>
[01:43] arynwyn: (( Yeesh, he really gets around. >.> ))
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Bother you that much does it? <she studies Mairen> It wasn't his idea.  Or mine, for that matter, and it was...oh seems like ages ago.  
[01:44] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes more> No, I just... Well, he seems to have kissed a lot of women. <bites her lip and tries to shrug it off>
[01:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <shrugs> I can't speak for what he's done outside of these walls.  I'm mostly sure I'm the only woman here he's kissed, and that only under pressure from a bunch of drunkards.  I promise you, I'm no threat to you, and I can tell he likes you a lot.  Here we go!
 <Steam rises up off the large pool of hot water, surrounded by snow and rocks.  There're a few trees near the springs' edge, and women are already disrobing, hanging their towels and robes on the branches and easing blissfully into the water.>
[01:50] arynwyn: Mai: <shyly disrobes and slips into the water, closing her eyes briefly to enjoy the hot water. she keeps low so her body is hidden, though the water is clear, to make herself feel better>
[01:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <slides in next to her> Regardless, Miss Truedawn, whatever his past is, it's his past.  He has passed it by, left it behind.  If you could do the same, I'm sure you two would have no end of happiness. <she smiles> But the time for girl talk is over, for now.  Tell me what you think you have to do to be rid of your addiction.  <said in that same casual conversational manner>
[01:54] arynwyn: Mai: Please, call me Mairen. And... <shakes her head> I'm not entirely sure. I need to stay away from Bloodthistle, mana potions, crystalized mana essence, of course. And... I think using magic is probably out of the question as well. <sighs a little> Other than that, besides keeping my body and mind busy, I don't really know.
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: It is possible to use magic and still control your addiction....but that's a difficult path that few can walk without falling.  And keeping your body busy, well, we'll certainly see to that while you're with us.  Your mind however, should not be busy.  It should be free, clear, and open.  Otherwise, you cannot hear the earth, and you'll need its strength to root you, to hold you up and keep you firm in your resolve.
[01:58] arynwyn: Mai: <nods slowly> I only say that because, the few times I've let my mind idle, I start obsessing over magic. But, if you think that is what I need to do, then I will, of course. But how do I clear my mind of these obsessive thoughts once they take over?
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <smiles> You don't.  Running away from them doesn't help.  You have to fight your way through them.  The Earthmother will help you.  You'll see.  If you ask for her help with purity of purpose and a clear will, she will answer the call.  And she is the most powerful ally in this sort of fight. 
[02:00] arynwyn: Mai: <bows her head> I need all the help I can get. I have proven I am not strong enough to fight this alone. Do I... pray? My sister is a priest, but I've never said a prayer in my life...
[02:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <laughs> Not really.  I suppose it's more like...chatting.  The Earthmother is not some distant deity, deaf to all but the pleas accompanied with tinkling gold pieces.  She is all around us.  She hears the songs in your heart.  You'll understand.  I will help you through your first meditation session tomorrow, before breakfast.
[02:04] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I'd like that. <sighs a little> Is it terrible or weak of me to be afraid? What if I don't overcome this? What if I fail, and become a Wretched?...
[02:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona:  It is neither terrible nor weak to fear.  You're confronting a horrible opponent - it is a daunting battle.  But I doubt Malseir'd let you fall so far as to become one of Those Things.
[02:06] arynwyn: Mai: <nods again> I desperately want to be better. To be normal. To live a normal life, with him. <closes her eyes and slips deeper into the water, to her chin, the tips of her hair dipping into the water>
[02:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Then have faith in him, and, more importantly, fath in yourself.  With such determination, I doubt you'll lose this war.
[02:09] arynwyn: Mai: <opens her eyes and smiles> Thank you. I'm going to do my best. Sometimes I feel like this is just a nightmare. I look back on who I used to be, and... <shakes her head> I never would have imagined I'd end up in this position. If only I... <sighs> It doesn't matter now.
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: It's the past.  Learn from it and move past it.  It is supposed to be behind you - let it be.
[02:11] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> You're right.
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Verona apparently likes The Beatles))
[02:11] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[02:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Not that that's always easy.  But do your best.  It's all any of us can do. <stretches> Ahhh.  Enjoying the springs, Mairen?
[02:13] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Very much. <she yawns> Making me tired though. The trip was so long. And we had a few... bad run-ins. <shivers at the memories> But, as you say, it's behind us. I'm looking forward to my time here.
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: And we're looking forward to having you here.  I know it may seem like we're being hard on you, but the Festival will make it up to you, I'm sure.  <she thinks a moment and chuckles to herself>
[02:15] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> I'm sure it will. Mal has only good things to say about it. So, what kind of work will I be doing while I'm here?
[02:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <leans back and thinks> Well, everyone takes a turn at kitchen duty at some point, which can mean serving food, clearing and doing dishes, helping cook, anything like that.  You'll probably be sent out with some of the girls to herb-gather and get small game.  Everyone straightens their own rooms, but there's still dusting and floor-washing to be done, in the rooms and out.  Mending gear and clothes if you're any hand at it, oh and laundry of course. ((Which I should do >.>))
[02:19] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[02:20] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles> I can do any of that. I'm not the best at mending clothing, my sister always took care of that, but I'm a quick learner, if anyone cares to take the time to teach me. 
[02:20] arynwyn: (( uhm... doesn't matter really. ))
[02:21] arynwyn: (( maybe the dusting/floor washing/laundry? ))
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <the women start getting out> Verona: <looks at the sky> Time to go back so we can put on dry clothes before dinner.  Do you want something to wear for dinner?  We don't "dress" for dinner or anything, but I'm sure after a lot of time wearing the same few clothes, it'd be nice to be in something else for a change?
[02:24] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and smiles> Yes, please. I'm afraid the only clothes I have are dirty and tattered. <she slips out of the water and shivers at the sudden cold. she towels off, then tugs her robe on quickly and wraps it up tight, then puts on her slippers>
[02:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Come with me to my room when we get back then. <smiles as she stands> So, I have to say, you're doing well with all of this. <pulling her robe on>
[02:26] arynwyn: Mai: <gives her a funny look> With all of "this"?... 
[02:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Being around a pack of quel'dorei.  Well, and Tauren.
[02:28] arynwyn: Mai: <flushes> Well, you are all very nice. It was different at the Bulwark, with the Argent Dawn. <shakes her head> I wasn't nearly as comfortable there as I am here. And, well, bad things did happen. <lowers her head> 
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: "Bad things"? <waves a hand> Not my business.  I would suggest that the difference is that we are a druidic compound, as opposed to a military base camp.  For all their babble about "discipline", they aren't always very good at self-control.
[02:30] arynwyn: Mai: <mutters> ...that's for sure... <keeping her head down>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: And yes, some of the women here, especially the younger ones, will be giving Malseir some very appreciative looks.  You may get some from some of the men.  I assure you, looking is all that will happen without your consent....in both cases, likely. <chortle> I doubt anyone's getting near Malseir without getting through you first, hm? <as they walk back>
[02:34] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs a little> I don't really know if Mal is "mine", so I can't say it's my place to stand in anyone's way. 
[02:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <arches an eyebrow> Would you really let that stop you?  <nods to a particularly curvy, lithe and pretty druidess up ahead of them> If she was trying to crawl down Malseir's pants, you wouldn't try to stop her?
[02:36] arynwyn: Mai: ... <glares at the girl> ..okay, so maybe I would...
[02:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <grins> She has a boyfriend, by the way.  But she makes for a good example in this case.
[02:38] arynwyn: Mai: <silent sigh of relief> Yes, well... I think perhaps I should talk to Mal anyway. About us, and what we are, if anything. 
[02:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Oh definitely.  But I'd wait until after the Festival.  <she's trying not to grin obviously>
[02:40] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at her> Why's that?
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Honestly?  Mostly because I'll be keeping you both VERY busy until then.  If you're not passing out as soon as you hit your bed at night, then I am failing.
[02:41] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> Alright then. I'll wait. And, Verona?...
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Yes, Mairen?
[02:42] arynwyn: Mai: <gives her a shy smile> Thank you. 
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: You're welcome. <as they return to the main Sanctuary building; Verona heads upstairs> Come on, I'll find you a little something to wear before we stuff you with food.  And by the way, you WILL clean your plate.  This is not an option.
[02:44] arynwyn: Mai: Oh dear. I have a bit of a problem with that, but... if you say I must, then I will. Just... don't pile it too high? <hopeful; she follows her upstairs>
[02:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: You'll get the same portions as everyone else.  And I figured you'd have a problem with it - that's why it's required.
[02:45] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles> How very kind of you. <grin>
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <she ducks into a room much like Mai's: it has a shelf mounted over the fireplace (which is still shared with someone else's room) and there's a desk and chair, but other than that, it's pretty much the same.  She goes to her chest of drawers and pulls out a pale green long-sleeved woolen tunic, a pair of light leather pants and a belt.  She offers them to Mairen> Don't worry about getting them back to me.  <smiles>
[02:49] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles back and takes the clothes> Thank you. How long until dinner?
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: About 15 minutes.  You've enough time to freshen up a little if you like, but don't dawdle.
[02:51] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I'll go change, then. <she slips out of the room and heads back to her own to change>
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF? if so, to when?))
[02:52] arynwyn: (( whenever something interesting happens? ^^ ))
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh! wait...get on WoW for a sec.  I need to show you this set of plate pants Ryne found earlier...))
[02:52] arynwyn: (( oh, okay. one sec... gotta get on other comp. ))
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so long as you get on a female chara :3 ))
[02:55] arynwyn: (( sorry, had to fix the net. ))
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Waaaaant those legplates.  I will knock men dead before my sword even touches them!
[03:00] arynwyn: <giggle>
[03:00] arynwyn: Killian wouldn't let you out of the house with those on...
[03:02] arynwyn: Are you really typing?
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <giggles> You say that like it's a bad thing...
 Okay, interesting, interesting...lemme think...let's see: Brother Gronen is a big hulking Tauren who looks terribly intimidating but is in fact a big softie.  Just don't let him give you noogies.  Verona will indeed work Mairen to the bone with meditation three times a day and chores the rest of the time, except for meal times, where she's always expected to clear her plate, and then of course, bedtime.  Meditation is actually held near the Moonwell, as in Sitting On the Edge of it.  And yes I'm really typing
[03:03] arynwyn: Oh okay. 
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>
[03:03] arynwyn: Uhm, what was it about lunch?
[03:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh right.  Lunch apparently is anytime between noon and 3 pm -ish: they set food out and when you're done with chores/meditations/whatever it is you're doing, you come and help yourself to whatever you want.  You sit and eat for as long as you want (and can, depending on the various duties you have).  Lunch is probably when she gets to spend the most time with Malseir; Verona seems to organize it so they can always eat together.
[03:05] arynwyn: Okies.
[03:05] arynwyn: So, how long until the Festival?
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lunch gets kinda rowdy sometimes....not that dinner doesn't.  Breakfast is honestly pretty quiet.
 
 The Festival is two weeks after they arrive.  Oh, and Mairen is allowed an occasional drink of Moonwell water, but she gets less every time.  By the time of the Festival, they're practically just letting her wet her lips with it and that's it.
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: hold on, needs ta piddle
[03:06] arynwyn: Okies.
[03:07] arynwyn: And should Mairen have come a long way or just a little since she arrived?
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Well, she should definitely be exhausted.  Beyond that...she's your character.  Two weeks isn't enough to be "cured" but if she's even in a positive, stronger mindset, that would be a "long way" for her, I'd think.
[03:12] arynwyn: mkay, and I think she is... for the most part. but she's terrified of leaving and going back to Silvermoon...
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Well that'll be something to discuss, won't it? <grins>
[03:12] arynwyn: <nodnod>
[03:12] arynwyn: So, are we doing the festival then? :-D
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure! :3
[03:13] arynwyn: Woo! You wanna start?
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: And you can find out why Verona said to wait. ^_^
[03:13] arynwyn: mkay <giggle>
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <The Midwinter Festival is apparently a really big deal.  As Verona's explained it, it hearkens back to a more superstitious time, when it was believed that the solemn (at the time) rituals would help bring spring's renewal...well, if not earlier, it would at least ensure that spring would come again at some point.  It's evolved over time into a raucous party at the Sanctuary, become more of a way of proving that there is still life in the midst of the cold bleakness that surrounds them.  Pine boughs are everywhere, over doorways and mantles, on the Moonwell, as centerpieces on tables.  Winterblooming flowers are scattered throughout and everyone's wearing the brightest colors they can find and making a lot of noise.  
 Brother Gronen has indeed provided honey-glazed hams, wild goose, roasted potatoes, fresh bread, iced cakes, and a plethora of nuts, fruits, and other foods.  There's also bountiful booze and plentiful amounts of spiced cider and hot chocolate (as well as drunk chocolate, of course).  Granted, the day starts off with a solemn ceremony at the Moonwell, with Verona speaking on the cycle of death and rebirth, of creation and new life coming from destruction....but once she's shut up, the festivities start and don't seem to have a proper end.  People take turns playing instruments or singing, dancing, cooking, eating, and drinking.>
 Mal: <is eating at one of the tables; he has a plate piled high with ham, potatoes, and bread and a mug filled near to the brim with a local beverage that is basically an alcoholic fruit punch.  He's watching the druids cavort and dance and laughing as Verona, who's fairly well in her cups, fall down after one of the other druids spins her on the dance floor>
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((should probably say what Mal's wearing...))
[03:22] arynwyn: (( YUM ))
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <wearing a light blue shirt and black pants, he's probably the most somberly dressed of the bunch.  His shirt's unbuttoned more than is usual for him though because, between his fur cloak and the booze in him, he's pretty warm>
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and now I'm hungry >.> ))
[03:26] arynwyn: Mai: <fills up a plate of food and goes to sit next to Mal, smiling shyly at him. she's been a lot quieter recently, and has become more serious, but she also seems happier. she has a mug of the drunk chocolate, which seems to be her favorite, that she sips from. she's wearing a long red dress, tanktop-style straps, that shows off her peaches-and-cream skin, and wears whatever kind of white winter flower she could find in her hair>
[03:26] arynwyn: (( yeah, no kidding... ))
[03:26] arynwyn: (( come cook for me? <grin> ))
[03:27] arynwyn: (( was gunna say daisies, since they're her favorite, but they're not growing yet... ))
[03:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((you think I can cook all of that?))
[03:28] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[03:28] arynwyn: (( maybe together we can? ))
[03:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: There's the Midwinter Fairy!  Come to bless our celebrations, princess? <grinning at her as he sips his punch>
[03:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Maybe. ^_^ ))
[03:30] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes a little and begins to eat> Sorry I'm late. <smile>
[03:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: No such thing as being late to this party...so long as you show up.  <chowing down> I swear...sometimes Gronen's food is enough to tempt me to stay...
[03:31] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and nods> I must agree. It's fantastic. He's really outdone himself. <huge bite of meat> 
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <chew munch drink chew munch munch...but he watches her as he does so.  When his mouth is clear again, he comments> You look a lot better...and I didn't even think that was possible.
[03:34] arynwyn: Mai: <swallows and blushes, smiling over at him> Thank you. I've been working hard. Verona is such a blessing. I don't know how I can ever thank either of you. <sips her drink>
[03:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...I have some ideas...<putting an arm behind her and scooting over>
[03:35] arynwyn: Mai: <raises an eyebrow and grins> Oh? Such as?
[03:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<ponders the death of spiral mac...which isn't really what I want but it's quicker and requires fewer dishes being washed...>))
[03:36] arynwyn: (( <laugh> What do you really want? ))
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <reaches behind her and grabs a full bottle of the fruity "wine"> Another game of Truth or Lie? <grins> 
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((a plate full of home-cooked foods like Mal has ^_^ ))
[03:37] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> Sounds like fun. You go first. <more food>
[03:37] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> I'm daydreaming of Thanksgiving now... <giggle> ))
[03:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Okay.  Lessee....oh!  I made some of the food that's on the table right now.
[03:39] arynwyn: Mai: <thinks> Uhm... true. 
[03:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Drat.  You're right.  I made some of those walnut and apple bars.  Your turn.
[03:42] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles> Let's see... <rubs her chin thoughtfully, then leans in close> I don't like the candied yams.
[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oh that has to be a lie!  Everything here's awesome.
[03:43] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and hands him the drink> Don't tell. I don't want to hurt any feelings.
[03:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <gasps in shock and horror and takes a swig> You're kidding me!  <he looks around as if terrified that someone might've heard this> Hmm...<he loops a hand around her waist...and tickles her side while he thinks>
[03:46] arynwyn: Mai: <squirms and giggles, pushing him away gently. she sips her drink and takes another bite>
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Hmm....at last year's Festival, I ended up sleeping with someone.
[03:48] arynwyn: Mai: ... <takes a long drink of her drunk chocolate> Lie?...
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Completely and utterly. <takes his drink from the bottle> Your turn?
[03:50] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles a little, relieved> Good. <chews some food thoughtfully> I don't want to go home to Silvermoon. Ever.
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks at her> You like it here that much?  And yes, I'm betting on Truth.
[03:52] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes and nods> So... no one drinks, right?
[03:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> You really want to stay here?
[03:54] arynwyn: Mai: <pokes at her food> I'm afraid of going back. I'm afraid of falling to my addiction again. I'm afraid I'm not strong enough.
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm sure Verona would love to keep you, but...at least for the next year, I have to go back.  I have commitments I've made to the houses I trade with.
[03:56] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I will go with you, of course. <smiles a little> As long as you're with me, I... I should be okay. ...I hope.
[03:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Whatever you want, princess.  Hmm, my turn, right?  So...I didn't sleep with someone last year...but I had offers. <eating his food>
[03:59] arynwyn: Mai: ... ... ... <sighs> True. <another long drink from her mug>\
[04:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...<laughs> You think too highly of me.  We both drink for that one. <he takes his swig and offers her the bottle back>
[04:01] arynwyn: Mai: <looks obviously relieved, smiles, and takes a drink> Let's see... The first week here, I cried myself to sleep every night.
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Lie?  Please tell me it's a lie.  Please please please....
[04:02] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> It is. I did the first couple of nights, but after that I was too tired. <takes a drink of the wine>
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry, bf's having issues with his guild. ))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( no worries. O_o ))
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <kisses her temple> I'm sorry.  I'm sorry you had to cry yourself at all.
[04:07] arynwyn: Mai: <kisses his cheek> It's okay. I was just sad at being away from you. I wasn't used to having a wall between us. <smiles and eats some more> Your turn>
[04:07] arynwyn: *>
[04:07] arynwyn: **.
[04:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Heh, well, most of a wall.  Okay, here's a statement: I was vaguely relieved at having most of a wall between us so I could jerk off without worrying about you peeping on me. <grins at her>
[04:10] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs loudly, then covers her mouth> That's true. <giggles a little more and kisses his cheek>
[04:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> You terribly terribly naughty girl, you. <chuckles>
[04:12] arynwyn: Mai: <grins> My turn. Let me think... I killed a rabbit with one arrow the other day.
[04:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry, dishes))
 Mal: One? Hmm...<studies her closely>...I...call....Lie?
[04:16] arynwyn: (( no worries. ))
[04:16] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> Yeah. I can't use a bow to save my life. <takes a drink of the wine> Your turn.
[04:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Ooo yes, drink more. <tries to grin at her lecherously but it doesn't really work>  Umm....statement, statement...
[04:19] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and obligingly takes another drink> 
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((as I try to think of statements...))
[04:21] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I'm having the same problem. ))
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <drinks more out of his mug and ponders whether or not he should say what's occured to him to say, then goes for it> I have dreams of covering you with honey and then licking it all off of you.  Slowly. <smile>
[04:23] arynwyn: Mai: <turns crimson and stares at her plate> ...that's true. <fights her grin and shoves some food into her mouth>
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You want to drink first or should I? <he grins then leans in and clarifies> Not honey.  I sell it, I like it okay, but I couldn't eat that much of it at one time!  Now...wine, say, or crushed strawberries?  Mmmm...
[04:26] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and blushes harder, taking a drink of the wine, then hands him the bottle> Uhm... One day I'd like to have five children. 
[04:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Specifically?  Exactly five?  Lie.  <he takes his drink for the last round and eats some more>
[04:29] arynwyn: Mai: <sticks her tongue out at him and takes another drink> I want three. And you didn't drink for the last one! <pushes the bottle into his hands. she's getting tipsy and she giggles>
[04:29] arynwyn: (( Bah.))
[04:30] arynwyn: (( I missed it but we'll say she did too, since she's getting drunk. ))
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <ponders this> Hmm....I don't want you getting drunk...<putting bottle out of her reach and offering more food to her>...so I propose an alternate version.  We'd probably want to go upstairs for it though....
[04:32] arynwyn: Mai: You don't want me drunk? I thought that was half the reason for this party? <giggles> And what's this... alternate version?  <raises an eyebrow but eats some more food>
[04:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: They play it here a lot, and if they see us playing, they'll want to play too...<sets his plate down, stands and offers her his hand>
[04:34] arynwyn: Mai: <takes his hand and stands, giving him a curious look> Lead the way then, sir Knight. <giggles again>
[04:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <takes her up to his room and closes the door> Okay, so the rules for the variant are the same except that instead of taking a drink, you take off an article of clothing.  And we long since decided that jewelry doesn't count!
[04:37] arynwyn: Mai: <turns crimson again, but grins and nods> Okay. ...you start.
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Hmmm....For awhile, long before I started living here, mind you, but for awhile, Midwinter Festival was practically an orgy.
[04:39] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> That's true. It's gotta be. <goes and sits on his bed>
[04:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay for spiral mac...and just coke, no rum...for a change))
 
 Mal: crap.  no clothes come off. <he sits next to her and kisses her neck briefly> Your turn.
[04:44] arynwyn: (( nice. ))
[04:44] arynwyn: Mai: <leans against him and says softly, with a grin> When I snuck into the woods after you to watch you... you know... I'd touch myself. <blushes>
[04:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <grins and whispers>....lie.
[04:46] arynwyn: Mai: Damn! <covers her mouth as she's never sworn in front of him> I'm not sure this is fair. You're wearing more clothes than me. <she stands and takes off her shoes>
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pouts> Aww, I was so hoping that was true, so we'd both have to lose a little.  And you are wearing twice as much underwear as I am....at least, I assume you are. <grins> Hmmm.....well, there's a long standing Midwinter Festival tradition that if you share drinks from the same bottle, you're considered to be kissing, so after two people drink from the same bottle, they kiss each other.
[04:50] arynwyn: Mai: <sits back down> True. And that's not the only reason you wanted it to be true. <grins at him> 
[04:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Actually I made that up...<grins> but if you want it to be true, we can make it a tradition...<tugging his boots off and looking at her expectantly>
[04:52] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and pulls off her stockings> It can be our tradition. <she leans in and kisses him>
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pulls her in close while they kiss> Your turn...<not that he's letting go>
[04:56] arynwyn: Mai: <nuzzles his neck> Hmm... <she thinks for a long moment> (( <think-ity think think> )) I've always wanted a dog. <chuckles> I can't think of anything right now. I think that wine is making my brain foggy.
[04:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Okay, you wanna just skip back to my turn then?
[04:57] arynwyn: Mai: What, the dog thing doesn't work? <kisses his neck>
[04:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: So I'm impatient....but okay.  True. <rubbing her back>
[04:59] arynwyn: Mai: <grins> Lie. I've always wanted a kitten. We both strip?
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is it bad I don't remember?))
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((fortunately I have logs....))
[05:01] arynwyn: (( Uhm. <laugh> He stripes 'cause he's wrong, she strips for lying, yes? ))
[05:01] arynwyn: *strips
[05:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((If Statement is Truth and Player Calls Truth = No Punishment
 If Statement is Truth and Player Calls Lie = Player takes Punishment
 If Statement is Lie and Player Calls Truth = Both take Punishment
 If Statement is Lie and Player Calls Lie = Stater takes Punishment
 
 So yes, they both strip. ^_^ Yeesh.  Had to do a freakin' truth table... ^_^; ))

[05:05] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; <cry> You came back!!!!!! <tackle-hug, cling> DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!))
[05:05] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[05:05] arynwyn: (( Sorry. we had a very high pitch ringing going on and I thought it was my comp ))
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay))
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And now for the stripping! at least a little))
[05:06] arynwyn: (( <huggles> so they both strip, go it. ))
[05:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> her dress is next. she's not wearing much, like she said. ))
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <unbuttons his shirt, pulling it off...and then helps her with her dress fastenings (He's skipping his socks for now) as he kisses her>
[05:09] arynwyn: Mai: <blushing heavily, she kisses him back, then pulls off her dress. she is, at least, wearing a slip. she smiles shyly> Your turn.
[05:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Okay...so there's another Midwinter Festival tradition, that for this one day, all oaths are forsworn. <he smiles at her>
[05:13] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at him and grins> Considering you're having me strip, I'm going to say that one is true. 
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Absolutely.  And you can thank Verona for reminding me of it. <pulls her in and kisses her hungrily> And I'm "having" you strip? <arches an eyebrow> I merely suggested an alternative version so you wouldn't end up hungover tomorrow...or passed out tonight.  And you agreed to it. <grin>
[05:18] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and presses against him, returning the kiss with equal hunger> ...then let me... <she pulls away and stands, then slowly, seductively, begins to pull off the remainding clothes>
[05:19] arynwyn: *remaining
[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles for a moment, then growls and begins helping her out of the rest of her clothes> Normally I'd appreciate the show, but...<kissing her neck, not caring if he leaves marks>...I have spent too many nights dreaming of this. <running his hands over every part of her he can reach>
[05:22] arynwyn: Mai: <gasps softly and feels her stomach flop with excitement. <she starts working on his clothes, caressing and kissing his skin> Gods... <she shivers and feels her knees go weak, causing her to sink a little> 
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <holds her up> My lovely, enticing, sometimes naughty fairy princess....<he chuckles>....the clever, stubborn, growing-ever-stronger woman I love....<picks her up and lays her on the bed, nearly tripping as his pants fall to his ankles, thanks to her work; he steps out of them and lays next to her to continue kissing her, moving down from her neck>
[05:28] arynwyn: Mai: <blushing and shivering, from his touch and his compliments, she presses against him and strokes his skin all over. she gasps softly as he moves further south, the new sensations almost overloading her senses>
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <considering he hasn't stopped his kissing, do I need to mention where he's started directing his attentions now?  He strokes one of her thighs as he does so and revels in the feel of her.  Occasionally the thought rises up in him that he had said he wouldn't do anything like this...but it's fairly quickly quelched>
[05:32] arynwyn: Mai: <moans softly, almost inaudibly, and arches her back> ...gods... <she pulls him up and kisses him hard, trying to non-verbally tell him to do the deed>
[05:35] arynwyn: (( Butters Scotch from South Park: "Oh hamburgers... This just keeps getting worse and worse..." <giggle> I love the "oh hamburgers" ))
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pushes his underwear off and kicks it off awkwardly before going back to kissing her> I hope you're ready.  Men really aren't as strong as women are, when it comes to our ability to resist...well anything we direly, desperately NEED....especially when the "anything" is an "anyone"...especially when it's me trying to resist you...<kiss kiss grope grope caress caress>
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[05:37] arynwyn: Mai: <moans and gasps> Ready?... I've been ready for months... If we didn't... didnt do this now... I think I'd die. <kisses and gropes and caresses back>
[05:38] arynwyn: (( "Oh... double hamburgers..." ))
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <laughs a little> I love you.  I do, I do...<he says this repeatedly because he knows that saying that when you're entering a woman is usually taken to mean "I love being able to get inside you" and he doesn't mean it that way....not that it's less true.  The constant assertions of his love die off into a moan; he drops his head to her shoulder and kisses her skin there, waiting a bit to let her adjust before he slowly begins to move within her>
 
 ((with cheese and pickles?))
[05:41] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:44] arynwyn: Mai: I love you too. <gasps and tenses up as he pushes inside of her, then gives a shudder as he settles into a rhythm. she moves her body with his and moans quietly, her hands twisting into the sheets> 
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he tries to talk, to say things, but low moans (not necessarily quiet mind you, just low, deep, from the back of the throat moans) are all that come out as he starts picking up the pace> Mai...<he finally manages, trying to count slowly to keep himself reined in>
[05:49] arynwyn: Mai: <doesn't compute anything he says or tries to say as she's lost in the bliss. after a few minutes she bites back a soft cry, her back arching, a bright light bursting behind her eyes. she gasps for air and wills herself to come back to reality>
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <holds her to him when she arches up against him, and stops counting.  He lays her down as she comes out of it, buries his face in her hair again and groans as his own climax tears through him, his grip on her tightening for a moment.  He nearly rolls off the bed trying to shift off of her with the last of his strength, and ends up with most of his top half face down on the bed, and his legs still tangled up with hers, but at this point, he's not terribly capable of movement>
[05:54] arynwyn: Mai: <rolls over to him, resting against him and sighing happily> ...mmm. You are amazing. <kisses all over his neck and back and shoulders> I love you so much. More than you could ever know. <lays back down and closes her eyes>
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I love you, I love you, I swear I do, it's not just...you know....the massive desire for you that's been pounding through my blood recently.
[05:59] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles and strokes his hair> I know you do. <she nuzzles his neck> Are you going to sleep now?...
[05:59] arynwyn: (( two minutes! :-D ))
[05:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Two minutes?))
[05:59] arynwyn: (( 'till our anniversary! ))
[05:59] arynwyn: (( one! ))
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, I was just planning on getting my breath back and my body functions back to normal and then I thought I'd see if I can get your back to arch higher next time...
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's 6:00 AM where I am :D ))
[06:00] arynwyn: (( Hehe, yep. ))
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Congratulations! You survived the first year of marriage!))
[06:01] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> May I ask you a question first?
[06:01] arynwyn: (( WOO! :-D ))
[06:01] arynwyn: (( Too bad it's the honeymoon year and not the worst year. >.> ))
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Ask me anything you want, princess.
 
 ((Is this where you go have annual sex? ...wait, that didn't sound right at all....))
[06:02] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Wow, the Family Guy episode is about their anniversary. Ironic.  And <LOL>. ))
[06:02] arynwyn: Mai: <thoughtful> What are we, exaclty? Anything? Do I have the right to tell other women to bug off?
[06:04] arynwyn: *exactly
[06:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I swear to you I'll be telling other women to bug off.  But I love you with all my heart.  That doesn't tell you what we are?  Even if...starting tomorrow, I can't touch you again until we get back to the pretty house your sister lives in.  If I could never touch you again, I'd still love you madly.....though I'd rather not push that.
[06:05] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles softly> So, I wouldn't wrong in telling someone you're my boyfriend?
[06:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Boyfriend, lover, devoted knight....they all fit. <kiss kiss>
[06:07] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and kiss back> That makes me so happy to hear, you have no idea. So, about that arching back... <pulls him close>
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mmm...I think by the time I'm done kissing every single inch of your skin again, I might be able to see to that....
 
 ((Okay so I'm dying of curiosity: big plans for the anniversary?))
[06:08] arynwyn: (( Uhm... champagne and cake, maybe go out to dinner. That's all really. ^^ ))
[06:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And rampant sexing, yes? ^_^ ))
[06:09] arynwyn: (( <giggle> maybe. ))
[06:10] arynwyn: (( ff? ))
[06:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I hope so.  And I'm actually getting sleepies....despite the large amounts of caffeine.  stupid body and its stupid tolerances.))
[06:10] arynwyn: (( no worries.  <huggles> ))
[06:11] arynwyn: (( you gunna go then? ))
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah I tink so.  I've got work later, usual 5 - Close EST))
[06:11] arynwyn: (( mkay. not sure if/when I'll be on. ))
[06:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Of course! It's the Anniversary!!! <huggles> Have fun and go easy on him ^_~ ))
[06:12] arynwyn: (( <giggle> kk <huggles> Sleep well. ))
[06:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((but not, y'know, TOO easy... Congrats again  :D ))
[06:14] arynwyn: (( thanks!! see you later. ))

[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Woo!  Yay go back to school!!!  
 
 And yes, order pizza!  I just did.  <so happy to have found another pizzaria open this late...and they deliver brownies too!>
[00:44] arynwyn: YUM!

[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Only one day - and she can sleep wherever she wants.
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Haji's in this one
[00:47] arynwyn: Okies. Then she slept with him. Er... in more than one sense. ^^

[00:51] arynwyn: Or something totally different. Dunno.
[00:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Why are you nervous?  I think we should do that so you get over being nervous!  <pokes at Sarah>
[00:52] Chaos Angel Sox: <also hugs the Sarah>
[00:52] arynwyn: Wish Tim would get off his game and order the pizza though. My tummy is in turmoil.
[00:52] arynwyn: Aww. <hugs and pokes back> Fine then.
[00:52] arynwyn: I'm nervous because I've daydreamed Mya and his first interaction and I dunno what I'm going to do if she reacts differently than I expect, y'know?
[00:53] arynwyn: *Mya's
[00:53] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs Sarah's tummy>
[00:53] arynwyn: <laugh>
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: What's the setup? How do their destined paths first cross?
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23455920.html)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23455920.html
[00:56] arynwyn: Uhm... he's been following her around. She sees glimpses of him as she's out and about, doing errands and such... And finally, one day, he seems to be less evasive. No stealth, just following her. So, in my daydream, she just comes up to him and asks him who he is, etc. He dodges all of her questions, then they both notice a man about ten feet away from them break stealth, glare at my guy, then disappear again. My guy bows out and disappears. She doesn't see him again until the assassination attemp on Ath.
[00:56] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> GROSS. ))
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: That sounds about right to me.  She'd want to confront him.
[00:57] arynwyn: Okies.
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the last comment on that post made my day))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( <ROFL> Oh dear!! ))

[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: (( it's addictive... ))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( okies, so... starting him then? ))
[00:59] arynwyn: (( Black again, sorry. ))
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is cool.))
[01:01] arynwyn: <A man has been following Mya for about a week, but she's only seen glimpses of him. Any time she looks in his direction, he vanishes. Though, on this day, he's more obvious in his pursuits. He's tall, lean, though muscular, has shaggy black hair that falls around his face, tanned skin, and looks like he hasn't shaven in a couple of days. He's dressed in all black leather. He follows her, keeping his distance and if she looks his way, he pretends like he's not looking at her, either looking in shop windows or pretending to read a sheet of parchment, etc.>
[01:02] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Think Strider. ))
[01:02] arynwyn: (( Er, Aragorn, I guess. <prefers to call him Strider> ))
[01:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I think this was Mya's color...if not, TOO BAD! It is now. And mmmmmm, Strider....))
 Mya: <think: Okay, it was sort of amusing at first, to wonder what you were up to, but now it's just getting annoying.  She waits until he's pretending to be fascinated by what's in this shop window here and backtracks, striding up to him and planting her hands on her hips.  She's wearing a modest purple dress (no cleavage in sight!), with long billowing sleeves and ankle length hem, over her black, high heeled boots.  She can feel the dagger strapped to her right thigh and the small throwing knife tied to her left forearm and hopes she doesn't have to use them in public> You're not very good at this, sir.  So why don't we stop playing games and you just tell me why you've been following me, hm?
[01:08] arynwyn: <he turns around to face her, looking amused> Ah, hello madam. <he scratches his head as if confused, but he's grinning> Following you? What makes you think I've been following you?
[01:08] arynwyn: (( <hopes she asks who he is> <coughhintcough> ))
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> she will. ^_^ don't worry))
[01:08] arynwyn: (( okies. ^^ ))
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow> Yes, yes, very droll.  Who are you and what do you want with me? <folds her arms>
[01:12] arynwyn: I assure you, I intend you no harm. <smirk> And let's just say, I am a secret admirer, of sorts... I cannot tell you any more than that. <as if one cue, a man to their left breaks stealth, appearing only for a couple of seconds before vanishing again, but that's sufficient time to glare> I have said too much already. <he bows> It was a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Duskblade. <he sidesteps her and vanishes as well>
[01:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - pizza arrived!))
[01:14] arynwyn: (( woo! And I figured. ^^ ))
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <taps her foot, highly annoyed, and resolves to talk to her uncle about this...at some point>
[01:16] arynwyn: <he goes back to just showing glimpses of himself, though much more rarely. then, a week later...
 there is a scuffle outside of Mya's and Ath's windows late at night>
[01:16] arynwyn: (( I know I'm moving this kind of fast, but... you'll understand later. ^^ ))
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <awakes (she's a light sleeper), and creeps over to her window, opening it and peering out at the noise carefully>
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[01:18] arynwyn: <down below there are two men, both hardly visible since they're dressed in black, but they're obviously fighting. there is the flash of a blade, then one collapses on the ground. the other figure looks up at the windows and catches sight of Mya. he swears quietly>
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You there!  What are you doing? <pushes the window open more and prepares to jump out of it if she has to, though as she does, it occurs to her she doesn't have a blade on her at the moment>
[01:20] arynwyn: <the man puts a finger to his lips and shhs> I cannot break my post. <he glances around> It is me, your secret admirer. <he kneels down next to the body and begins to strip it of weapons, trying to decide how to handle her>
[01:21] arynwyn: (( okay, so... did Selrone hire the assassin or are we saying he acted of his own accord? ))
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Selrone might've...but more likely it was another cousin, who wants Selrone to be the guy in charge because Selrone's more easily manipulated than Ath is, and this guy wants to be the shadow power.))
[01:23] arynwyn: (( Mkay. Oh dear, a cousin? That's not good. >.> ))
[01:23] arynwyn: (( Whoever it is, he's dead. ))
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Lovely.  The guards will be right there to...talk with you. 
 
 ((technically Selrone's her cousin.))
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it's a family affair. ^_^))
[01:23] arynwyn: <shakes his head as he looks up at her, sighs, then vanishes>
[01:24] arynwyn: (( Yes, I know he is. But I didn't expect the assassin to be a cousin. Oh well. ))
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <and the guards do indeed show up right after he vanishes.  Mya growls at the incompetence>
 
 ((No, the cousin would've hired an assassin....even though he is one himself.))
[01:24] arynwyn: (( Oh, okay. Gotcha. ))
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Should Mya give chase?  kinda hard to do when he's stealthed.))
[01:25] arynwyn: (( If you want. He won't talk to anyone but her, and she has to be alone. ))
[01:26] arynwyn: (( he's not GONE, just... not visible. ^^ ))
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((OH then in that case, yes. ^_^))
[01:26] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[01:27] arynwyn: (( <drool> Tim keeps flexing for me. He's gotten REALLY buff. ))
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <changes from her nightgown into a black turtleneck, pants and boots quickly.  She pulls her hair back, puts her sheathed dagger in her mouth, and climbs out of the window, stealthing quickly as she does so; the guards are well aware of the family's activities - it's part of why they're there - but she'd rather no word got back that she did something like this.  She waits for them to leave with the body, then lets go of the windowsill and drops to the ground in a crouch, pulling the dagger out of its sheath then spitting the leather sheath out onto the ground.  She breaks stealth as she looks around>
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sounds like someone needs to be pounced then, if he keeps flexing at you...))
[01:29] arynwyn: (( <giggles> He's busy playing Halo 3 with two of his brothers. =P ))
[01:30] arynwyn: <a disembodied voice whispers> I'm not going to hurt you. You just need to let me explain things to you. Put the dagger away.
[01:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Then tell him to stop flexing damnit! ^_^))
 Mya: You can talk to me while I have my dagger out.  In fact, I prefer it.  And start with what the hell just happened here, if you would.
[01:34] arynwyn: <sighs and breaks his stealth, glancing around quickly and keeping his distance from her. he's wounded, a nasty gash in his side> We've been watching that man for a few days now. Someone wants your sister dead. He came tonight to kill her. <quick glance up at Ath's window>
[01:35] arynwyn: (( <3 Halo 3's music. ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <hides her surprise at this fairly well, though her eyes widen a bit> How kind of you to dispatch him for us then; why would you risk yourself, rather than just warning our family? <she says this in an oh-so-conciliatory way, but there's still an edge to her tone>
[01:40] arynwyn: <watches her carefully for a moment, looking like this idea amuses him> I wish I could have. That would have made things more less difficult. But that's not how the system works. <sighs> I cannot tell you more than that, not without the assurance that both of us would be killed.
[01:40] arynwyn: *much less difficult. >.>
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: "The System"?  Well, Mister Mysterio, your contract has been fulfilled.  Your kind deed aside, you might understand why I'm nervous with the idea of having an...<pauses> Are you feeling okay?  <she looks at the gash in his side>
[01:45] arynwyn: <pulls his cloak around to cover the wound> I'm fine. And the contract is not fulfilled. <shakes his head> It's not like that. First of all, it's not even a contract. <seems frustrated> Look, if I explain things to you, your protectors will become your hunters, do you understand?
[01:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh yes, that's perfectly clear. <rolls her eyes>  If I were you, I'd have that <nodding at his wound> looked at as soon as possible.  Assassins have this tendency to poison their blades, after all.  As for me and my sister, I can look after the both of us.  We've protectors enough, thank you.  Your services are not required, nor are those of whatever organization you're with.
[01:51] arynwyn: <a man breaks stealth behind Mister Mysterio (( <giggle> )) and steps up to him. he whispers something to our man and then vanishes again. Mysterio turns back to Mya and gives a small smile> I've already used an anti-venom, and the wound will wait. I've been informed I can fill you in on necessary details, but <glances around> not here. And though you think you can take care of you and your sister, the fact is, she would be dead if it weren't for me. Now, would you like an explanation or not?
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <studies him and thinks a bit> Very well....where can you tell me these things?
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((typing up a customers_suck post; haven't done one in a while))
[01:56] arynwyn: <he nods, then steps toward her quickly and takes her arm> The inn. Put your blade away, please. <he begins to lead her toward the inn> I'll have to take you to a private room, but I assure you, I'm a gentleman. These matters are most sensitive, as you may have gathered. 
[01:56] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[01:57] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ET is on ABC Family. ))
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ET! ET!))
[01:59] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[01:59] arynwyn: (( Tim's never seen it >.> ))
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Shut off Halo 3 and make him watch it.))
[01:59] arynwyn: (( <laugh> His brothers went to bed, so it's off, but he went off somewhere... to find his wallet I think, to order pizza. ))
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <picks up her sheath and puts the dagger away...but holds onto it, studying him carefully> I've little reason to be afraid of you or your intentions.....sir.
 
 ((yay for pizza!))
[02:02] arynwyn: <grim smile> Indeed. <falls silent until they reach the inn where he orders them drinks and pays for a room. he carries the drinks up and unlocks the door, letting her in before looking down the hall each way. he follows her in, sets the drinks down, then shuts and locks the door. he goes to the window, looks out of it, then makes sure it's locked. he pulls the curtains and turns to her>
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is sitting on the bed, legs crossed, arms folded> So why are you...or this sneaky little brotherhood of yours...so devoted to protecting my sister?
[02:05] arynwyn: <smiles and hands her a drink, then takes a long swig of his own> We protect all the families that are loyal to the throne, and yours happens to be one of the most loyal. 
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <takes the glass but doesn't drink.  She thinks about that> So, you had information that someone was plotting against my sister, but rather than letting us handle it, you dealt with it instead.  Why is that?
[02:11] arynwyn: <shakes his head> No. We have no information. We only noticed the rogue sneaking around you house and looking suspicious, so we kept a close watch on him. If your guards hadn't taken the body, we probably could have found out more. <sighs and sets his drink down, then digs in a small pouch he has. he pulls out a couple of bandages and turns away from her, lifting his shirt and quickly bandaging his wound after dumping the rest of the drink on it>
[02:11] arynwyn: *your house
[02:13] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23458445.html)http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/23458445.html
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Wouldn't it be easier if I did that for you?  And if you want, I can get the body for you...though I think we'd rather do our own investigating into this matter.
[02:16] arynwyn: I'm used to doing it myself. And, the problem is this: <turning around to face her> The families we protect aren't supposed to know we exist. I screwed up big time tonight, and I will be punished for it. <leans against the wall and crosses his arms, thoughtful>
[02:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> You've not been doing a very good job at secretly following me.  I'm surprised you haven't been punished already.
[02:18] arynwyn: <grins at her> Yes, well... That was my own doing, much to their dismay. I couldn't help myself. Following a beauty such as you, and not having her know you exist... well, it begins to eat at a man.
[02:19] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Nice post. ))
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs again> Ah, so it's my fault.  <she runs her finger along the rim of her glass> And I don't suppose you know who's plotting against my sister, or why?
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((thankees :) ))
[02:22] arynwyn: <shakes his head> I'm afraid not. But you don't have to worry, we'll find out. And your family will be informed. Or we'll eliminate the problem, if that's possible. <looks at his glass and frowns> But rest assured, now that an attempt has been made, security around your sister will be stepped up. 
[02:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...So you don't know who it is, or why they want her dead, but you know enough to know that it's something our family can't handle?  Or...<leaning forward to grin at him>...do you just want an excuse to spend more time in my beautiful presence? <trying...not...to...laugh>
[02:25] arynwyn: <smirks> Lovely, I get to tail you no matter who takes care of the problem with you sister. I am assigned to you. <winks> Don't you feel lucky? And I have no idea if you family can handle it; I only know what I'm taught, and that's that most families can't handle it. 
[02:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So why am I being tailed anyway? <she straightens up, sets her untouched wine down and leans back on her elbows on the bed>  If my sister's the target, why bother tailing me at all?  Unless I'm a suspect? <she frowns and threatens to glare>
[02:31] arynwyn: <shakes his head> You're not a suspect. Not that I know of anyway. And there is someone assigned to each of the main family members. That includes you, you sister, your father, your uncle, and your cousin. It varies from family to family, but for your family, that's who has a Protector. And if you want to investigate this on your own, I can tell my superiors that you'd like to, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get rid of me. And, chances are, they'll still investigate on their own anyway.
[02:33] arynwyn: (( Pizza is here. :-D ))
[02:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs a little at this concept of her uncle needing protection> So for the time being, I'm stuck with you, hm? <she looks him over judgementally and nods> Not bad.  Still going to obviously pretend not to be tailing me?
 
 ((Woo! Yay for pizza!))
[02:35] arynwyn: Seems pointless now. I'll still stealth most of the time, but that's so no one thinks I'm stalking you... in a bad way, I mean. <grins> So, you approve of me, then?
[02:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, you've made it clear I don't have a choice.  But I suppose if I have to be stuck with someone, it's nice to have him be easy on the eyes.  Of course, I shouldn't have been able to lay eyes on you in the first place...<she chortles> So let me ask then, is there some reason you're not supposed to be seen?  I mean, I wasn't supposed to see you, but are you not supposed to exist?  Because there's an easier way to do this job of yours than trying to stay stealthed all the time.
[02:39] arynwyn: <raises an eyebrow> And what might that be?
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You're not stalking me if I'm apparently enjoying your company.  Act like an old friend, or...hell, like any guy who wants to talk to some girl he's seen.  If we're having lunch together, or just sitting on a bench and talking, then you obviously know where I am and what I'm doing, right?  You can stealth behind me to and from public places, but there's no reason to waste concentration on stealth and avoiding detection in situations like that.
[02:43] arynwyn: <studies her for a moment> That would work, yes. Up until now, of course, I haven't been in the position to do such a thing, but I suppose since you know about the Bloodwatchers now, it couldn't hurt. If you're comfortable with it, of course. <gives a little bow>
[02:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: "Bloodwatchers"?  Oooo terribly dark and mysterious name.  And speaking of mysterious names....?  You realize that you can lie to me about your name if you want; I just need something to call you besides "Mister Mysterio."
[02:46] arynwyn: <smirks> Dresden Sunwhisper. <the Sunwhisper family is a well known noble family, one she's certainly heard of> The youngest son of Marcellus Sunwhisper, at your service. 
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Dresden!))
[02:46] arynwyn: (( What?! ))
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, sorry. :3  Reminded me of Harry Dresden, wizard.))
[02:47] arynwyn: (( Oh. >.> ))
[02:47] arynwyn: (( No relation. =P ))
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Good.  I feel at somewhat less of a disadvantage now.  At least you picked a good family to claim as lineage. <she smiles at him> After all, I can't be seen in the company of anyone less.  <she stands> Is there more that I should know...that you can tell me, at least?
[02:50] arynwyn: Dres: <pushes away from the wall> Keep your eyes and ears open. I would appreciate that if you do find anything out about the assassin, you pass it along to me. Information is power, as I'm sure you know. <he tosses a couple of gold coins on the desk and goes to unlock the door> I'll walk you home and resume my post.
[02:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So your post is....right below my window?  I suppose I should be careful where I dump the chamber pot...
[02:52] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> No. I'm constantly on the move. Change of perspective, and it helps fight sleep. <opens the door and looks out into the hall, then nods to her and lets her out>
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> I sense a lot of coffee on our "dates" then...if you're not allowed to sleep.
[02:53] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> Nothing so unnatural. We're trained to not sleep. <leading her out of the inn and back toward her house> As well as other things. 
[02:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh, well maybe one day I'll get to see what else you can do besides self-bandage and go without sleep. <she grins at him and winks> So...I suppose that means I'll see you in the morning.  Unless you're stealthed.
[02:56] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and grins back> I'll be stealthed until you're in a public place, then I'll approach. <they arrive at her house> Going in by door or climbing back up to your window? 
[02:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: If I go in through the door, they'll ask why I was outside.  <She blows him a kiss playfully, stealths and starts the climb>  ((must...piddle...))
[02:59] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks and watches her climb, then waves after she crawls in her window. he turns and, with a quick look around, vanishes>
[03:00] arynwyn: (( sure thing. ))
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is Tim watching ET? and should we FF?))
[03:04] arynwyn: (( No, he's playing xbox. and sure, FF, but I don't have much else planned. >.> ))
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Aside from her trying to flirt information out of him, now that she knows he finds her attractive enough to have screwed up already?))
[03:05] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okay. Next morning then? ))
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure. ^_^  start with Mya going to some public place type of...er...place?))
[03:07] arynwyn: (( yep! ))
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <strides into the Bazaar in a long sleeved white shirt and an ankle length dark blue skirt.  She's still wearing her black high heeled boots, mostly because when you stomp on someone's foot with them, they hurt like hell.  She is every inch the proper young woman of good breeding, fine upbringing and dignified taste.  She finds a relatively quiet little cafe off in one corner, not far from the fountain, and drops elegantly into a chair, crossing her legs at the ankles this time, instead of the knee.  She places an order with the waiter, smiles through her red lipstick as she scans the crowd>
[03:15] arynwyn: Dres: <pulls off his black cape and vest, and slips them into a bag. he walks up to her and smiles. he seems to have taken some time away to change into a nice linen shirt and nice black slacks, and he's shaved (though he has a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow). His hair is still messy, though, and it probably always will be. he bows> Might I join you, miss?
[03:15] arynwyn: (( er, after he takes off his cloak and vest, he breaks stealth ))
[03:16] arynwyn: (( red linen shirt. >.> ))
[03:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she turns her head to study him as if he were a complete stranger to her and then gestures to the chair across from her...as the waiter brings two coffees and a plate of pastries.> Please.  A woman alone...it's a tragedy.
[03:19] arynwyn: Dres: I happen to agree. <he sits down and smiles, then leans in close to whisper> Watch your coin. There's a pickpocket about. <he straightens up and takes a sip of the coffee, trying not to make a face at the taste> Lovely morning, don't you think?
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <watches him as she takes a long, slow, savoring draught ((sorry - cat was knocking things off of counters)) of her coffee> Mmm.  This time of year, when autumn's starting to fade into winter...I love it.  The air is so bright...it's like you can see into eternity.  <comments quietly> You think I'm not always watching my coin? Mr. Sunwhisper, I'm insulted.  <she's smiling though>
[03:23] arynwyn: (( O_o no worries. ))
[03:25] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks at her and replies just as quiet> My apologies. <he takes a pastry and bites into it... then coughs. he forces the bite down, then sets the pastry on a plate and doesn't touch it again> Again, I agree. <smile> Are you a poet, Miss ...?
[03:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <her eyes sparkle with amusement> Duskblade.  Do you not like the pastries, Mr.....?
[03:29] arynwyn: (( Did I DC? ))
[03:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not that I saw))
[03:29] arynwyn: (( Okay. Did you post? ))
[03:30] arynwyn: (( Yes, I did DC. Sorry. >.< ))
[03:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles> Needs you a repost?))
[03:30] arynwyn: (( Yes please. <huggles> ))
[03:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <her eyes sparkle with amusement> Duskblade.  Do you not like the pastries, Mr.....?
[03:34] arynwyn: Dres: <eyes the tart with hatred> They are...  <searches for a non-insulting word> not to my liking, I'm afraid. <attempts another drink of the coffee and nearly gags, so he gives up> Dresden Sunwhisper. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Duskblade. <smile>
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Should I order something else then?  Seems you don't like the coffee either?  Such a pity.  I like having something hot and strong in the mornings.  <she sips more of her coffee and takes a delicate bite of one pastry>
[03:38] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks> I'm fine, thank you. I'm not sure there would be anything here I would like. <eyes her> Well, perhaps one thing, but it's not something you order or pay for. <he leans back in the chair and takes a surrepticious glance around>
[03:40] arynwyn: (( Bleh, I looked it up and I still spelled it wrong... *surreptitious ))
[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh, well then next time we meet, I'll run into you at some place you prefer then? <she smiles> I'd hate to feel like I was the only one who was having a good time. <she swings her foot wide to recross her ankles, and her boot happens to just...you know...accidentally...caress his shin> Oh sorry.  I can be so clumsy sometimes. <she sips her coffee>
[03:46] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks> A place I prefer? I'm not sure one takes a lady such as you there. <think: Clever girl you are, but I'm not a common rogue here, Lovely. Skin grazes don't work on me. You're gunna have to pull out the big guns. I wonder what she thinks I know, what information she wants from me? But I'll play along...> And just because I don't like the food, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the view. <eyes her again, more obvious this time>
[03:46] arynwyn: *Shin grazes
[03:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <continues to pretend not to notice his eyes on her; she chuckles lightly> Mr. Sunwhisper, you are in the habit of patronizing...ungentlemanly establishments? <floats hand to her chest as if terribly shocked; granted, the shirt she's wearing doesn't show off cleavage, but there's a good bit of skin above that visible, and her raising her hand there does draw the eye to the outline of her bust> And admitting such a thing to a lady you just met?  You are indeed....unconventional.
[03:53] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and does indeed eye her chest> I never said any such thing. <leans back again for another glance around> Perhaps the places I like to visit are merely places in the wilderness, places without the technologies of the day? Also not a place one would take a woman of your fine breeding. <sits back up and grins>
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh, well then I do apologize for my misunderstanding, and thank you for your consideration of my station.  I fear I've gotten unused to gentlemen in this day and age. <leans forward, resting her arms on the table and smiling at him> True gentlemen are a dying breed.  So do be careful out there in the savage wilds, Mr. Sunwhisper.
[03:59] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Always, Miss Duskblade. It would take much more than a mere bear... <quietly> or rogue <back to normal volume> to kill me, I assure you. <smile> 
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I'm glad you're a hardy soul.  You must be very....capable then.  To be able to handle yourself all alone out there.  <seems very bright and interested in him>
[04:03] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks> I suppose, yes. I'm unlike most noble men in that way. I enjoy danger. 
[04:03] arynwyn: (( Heh, she'll get him with the ego-stroking. >.> ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Just not the shin stroking? ^_~ ))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> He knows the usual rogue tricks, such as women using sex for information. But he's arrogant enough to think he can't be outwitted. =P ))
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Ooo. How very brave!  Have many scars?  <adding quietly> And how's the one from last night healing? 
[04:06] arynwyn: Dres: I have my share of scars, yes. <lowers his voice> Had a priest heal me up. And yes, it did scar. But I told you I would be fine, didn't I? <smile>
[04:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <quietly> So relieved to hear it.  <and back to normal tone> So you're not afraid of being less...<looking him over>...handsome?  How very unconventional....unless you've already got someone?  Most people only worry about their appearance while attempting to attract a mate, after all.  <eating more of her neglected pastry>
[04:12] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> No, I'm afraid I'm dreadfully alone in the world. Most women don't like the idea of the one they love going out into the wild for weeks at a time, not knowing if he will return. As for being less handsome, well...  One would have to be handsome to begin with, to worry about that, wouldn't he? <smirk> 
[04:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> Well, you're not as...brushed and polished as I would've expected...but it doesn't make you less handsome.  More like...you're wearing your danger. <grins at him> You are...quite impressive in your own way.
[04:15] arynwyn: Dres: <grins back> That's exactly what I'm going for. <leans back in his chair a third time to look around, then sits back up> And what about you? Surely a woman as lovely as yourself is taken? 
[04:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <low>...not as often as I'd like. <normal; she laughs> Ah, you've forgotten that women of status and rank have so much less freedom than men.  I bide my time waiting for the patriarch of my family to find a suitable suitor.
[04:18] arynwyn: (( "not as often as I'd like" to be taken, she means? ))
[04:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[04:19] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks and nods> That's a pity. But you're a capable woman, If you're tired of waiting, why don't you go out and find someone for yourself? Then all your father has to do is approve, correct? I've seen it done before.
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: If my father had the power to approve, I'm sure he'd love for me to find someone.  And if I do find someone suitable, my uncle might take such a man under consideration. <sips the last of her coffee> In the meantime, I've decided it's for the best that I...tread carefully through the social scene.
[04:22] arynwyn: Dres: <gives her an odd look, but doesn't press> So, where are you off to now, Lovely? <smile>
[04:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow elegantly> I have no agenda, no schedule.  I suppose I'm at your disposal...until one of us gets bored of the other. <grin>
[04:26] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and pulls out a pouch, then tosses a few gold coins on the table> A walk in the park, perhaps? <he stands and offers her his hand>
[04:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she eyes the coins> You're paying for a breakfast you didn't order and in fact despised, on behalf of a young lady you just met?
[04:29] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and nods, then says quietly> I am the youngest son of a noble family, and I have a job. I have more coin that I know what to do with.
[04:29] arynwyn: *than I know
[04:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Still seems silly to me...<but she accepts the hand up> but it is incredibly noble of you, Mr. Sunwhisper.  <quietly, as she stands and comes into closer proximity to him> And pray tell, how does one get this job?
[04:32] arynwyn: Dres: <glances around and replies softly> I'm not sure I'm allowed, but I could be persuaded to tell. Just not here. <normal volume> I do my best, Miss Duskblade. To the park, then? Or is there somewhere else you'd prefer we go?
[04:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh no, after you.  I feel quite safe having a gentleman of...handsome manners and dangerous looks escorting me. <smile>
[04:34] arynwyn: Dres: <grins at her> Clever with your words. <he offers his arm, then starts off toward the park (( which I'm making up apparently, but it's a city, surely there's a park somewhere. >.> ))>
[04:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <takes his arm and presses in close to him as she walks> Thank you.  I know women are supposed to be seen and not heard, but...<shrugs> call it a weakness.
[04:38] arynwyn: Dres: Only fools would say something so stupid, Miss Duskblade. <smile> Women, I've found, tend to be more intelligent than men, when allowed to be. <whispers conspiratorially> Just told tell anyone I told you that. <grin>
[04:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <quietly> You're the one saying it so anyone could hear it. <smirking.  She continues in her normal volume>  How lovely of you, sir.  You do know what to say to turn a woman's head.
[04:42] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles lightly> If I thought I could turn any women's heads... <they arrive at the park, which is large and full of trees and other park things, but it's good for walking> Ah, here we are.
[04:42] arynwyn: (( Bleh... not "Just told tell anyone"... yeesh. *Just don't tell... ))
[04:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It's a very nice park for a stroll.  I've always found it...peaceful here.  And I do think you underrate yourself.
[04:45] arynwyn: Dres: <leads her in and begins to stroll the parameter, keeping her hand in his arm with a hand on hers> This is my favorite place in the city. <smiles down at her> What about you? Where do you like to go to escape the pressures of noble life?
[04:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> There's an escape?  I was unaware...
[04:47] arynwyn: Dres: Don't tell me you've gone all of these years without an escape? I'm surprised you're still sane. <looks her in the eyes as if trying to see into her head> You are still sane, yes?
[04:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: As sane as you are.  Did you ever think that perhaps not all of us want to escape?
[04:48] arynwyn: Dres: Hm. Perhaps. Your life must be much  more enjoyable than mine then. At least, my home life.
[04:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh, I'm sorry.  It isn't my place to pry, and I didn't mean to bring up anything unpleasant.  <hand rising to her chest again in that "I'm ever SO distressed" gesture>
[04:51] arynwyn: Dres: <glances down at her chest, as she intended> Nothing so unpleasant. Mostly just boring. As I said, I enjoy danger. And the most dangerous thing at my parents' home is the threat of dying of boredom. 
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh then you shouldn't need the escape, hm?  After all, if you like danger, and boredom is dangerous....<she giggles girlishly and thinks: Okay the game is amusing, I'll admit....but I want to just cut to the chase sometimes. She looks him over and adds Especially in certain ways.  But oh well...; she comments quietly> My uncle's looking into the body.  I'll let you know what he comes up with....if I think it's relevant to you.
[04:59] arynwyn: Dres: <his face sombers up and he nods, replying softly> Just remember, when you're deciding if it's "relevent" to me, that we're only here to protect you and your family. <he glances quickly to the side and stares into the bushes for a moment. the leaves rustle and then fall still, and a man materializes in front of them>
[05:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <her gaze cuts to the new guy immediately; her current sleeves don't allow for easy access to the throwing dagger, but there's still the regular one strapped to her thigh.  She narrows her eyes at him but doesn't say anything...yet.  She studies the interloper.>
[05:03] arynwyn: <the man nods to Dresden, who turns to Mya> Give me a moment, please. <he follows the man about twenty feet away and they hold a whispered argument. after a minute, the man vanishes again and Dresden returns to Mya, smiling, though his eyes betray his uneasiness. he holds his arm back out for her>
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she eases down a little> You know, leaving a woman for another man....tacky, tacky, Mr. Sunwhisper.  Yet I get the feeling our time together is, by necessity, over?  <she puts her back to the direction the man disappeared in to whisper to Dresden> Are they tugging on your leash again, Mysterio?
[05:10] arynwyn: Dres: Not over, Miss Duskblade. Forgive the interruption, please. <replies quietly> Not exactly. It seems someone paid a cook to poison you sister's breakfast. Luckily, she reported it. Your sister is fine. Tell me, who would want your sister dead, Miss Duskblade?
[05:11] arynwyn: *your sister's
[05:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Nobody that I know of.  She's a sweet, quiet girl who keeps to herself.  However, she is destined to be the eventual Matriarch of our family, when all those of my uncle's generation have passed on.  That's certainly not about to happen any time soon.
[05:14] arynwyn: Dres: She disappeared for a year, didn't she? Even we lost track of her. <he sighs> The cook was so upset she couldn't even give a good description of the man who paid her. So, other than you, who we aren't listing as a suspect yet, would anyone else stand to gain from her death?
[05:15] arynwyn: (( Nice. E.T. is back on. :-D ))
[05:15] arynwyn: (( at the end though. ))
[05:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns at the "yet"> We're in the process of restoring Aileth to her proper place.  When she was...separated from us, our cousin Selrone was the slated Patriarch of our generation.  However, I think you'll find questioning him difficult.  His father, my uncle, our family's current Patriarch, does not take intrusions lightly.
[05:17] arynwyn: Dres: <frowns as well> I'd ask why, but I think that would be fruitless. Do you trust that neither your uncle or his son would do this? 
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((phone home?))
[05:18] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she glares at him as if insulted> My uncle would personally see to any familial problems.  He adores my sister and supports her as his eventual successor.  I have no reason to believe otherwise.  And Selrone...<she laughs aloud>...is as clumsy at scheming as he is at dancing.  And believe me, he's absolutely horrific on the dance floor, even sober.
[05:21] arynwyn: Dres: <quietly> Forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm only trying to explore every possibility. Selrone, though... would he be easily manipulated?
 
 (( tell me if I'm getting at this too fast. >.> ))
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's fine. ^_^ ))
 
 Mya: Very.  Dangle a cookie in front of him, or a pretty woman.  A bottle of cheap wine.  Something shiny, even.  He'll follow it, drooling all the way.  He likes to think he's a suave playboy.  He's the essence of pampered, fluff-headed nobility.
[05:23] arynwyn: (( (Link: http://www.i-am-bored.com?link_id=25804)http://www.i-am-bored.com?link_id=25804 ))
[05:24] arynwyn: Dres: <frowns and stops walking> So someone who wanted the power that he or she does not have by birth would want Selrone in power, as apposed to your sister, thinking him more easily controlled... Any idea who such a person would be?
[05:25] arynwyn: (( It's the Mozart vs Bond one. ))
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Not off hand.  But that's where my investigations would be better than yours, hm?
[05:27] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I suppose so, yes. <continues to frown at her> You're not going to tell me anything, are you?
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<giggle> how cool! ))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[05:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <ponders this, then grins at him> I could be persuaded....<smiles and bats her eyelashes in obvious "ask me how"-ness>
[05:29] arynwyn: Dres: <raises an eyebrow> And how could I persuade you?
[05:29] arynwyn: (( (Link: http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=25800)http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=25800 <giggle> ))
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LMAO> My god how do they KNOW?!?!))
[05:34] arynwyn: (( <giggle> :-D ))
[05:36] arynwyn: Dres: <raises an eyebrow> And how could I persuade you?
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I had to show that to Joe, sorry.  He laughed and said, "That's exactly why we don't keep baseball bats in the house...."))
[05:37] arynwyn: (( No worries. ))
[05:37] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Tim's glad you two like it. He sent it to me. ))
[05:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I need to go consult with my uncle and then I'll need some time to poke around the family tree.  So, dinner?  You have so much extra coin lying around, I expect nothing less than one of the finest restaurants in Silvermoon.  And a carriage to pick me up and return me home again.  I'll be sure to dress appropriately.  Say...oh, 7 o'clock? <she smiles at him and begins to walk off without waiting for an answer>
[05:39] arynwyn: Dres: <follows after her> Of course, my Lady. Anything you wish for. But I hope you don't think you're losing me that easily. <he slips into stealth and begins to follow her>
[05:39] arynwyn: (( bleh, minus the second follow ))
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow, without turning around> I do expect a modicum of privacy, however.  Don't let me catch you peeping on me while I'm taking my long, luxuriating bubble baths or slipping into slinky evening wear. <she chuckles to herself and heads off>
[05:41] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks to himself, thinking: I wish...>
[05:41] arynwyn: (( so, FF to that night? ))
[05:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I sent that to my parents btw.  And sure.  Also, Dres?  She said you shouldn't let her CATCH you doing it....just saying here))
[05:42] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:42] arynwyn: (( Heh, he's not allowed to go into their house unless they're being attacked. ))
[05:43] arynwyn: (( And he's already in trouble for her finding out about him. >.> ((
[05:43] arynwyn: *))
[05:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((there are windows! Anyway...should I just have the carriage drop her off at Le Snooty Restaurant, or do you want to start somewhere else?))
[05:44] arynwyn: (( The restaurant is fine. ))
[05:49] arynwyn: (( AWWW! <3 E.T. ))
[05:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <alights from the carriage in the aforementioned slinky evening wear: though it hugs every curve, it doesn't show off the amount of cleavage and leg that Xenoliya (and Damien) would prefer in her fancy dresses.  It's a rich midnight blue, does show a little decolletage, and is sleeveless, and she's wearing silver belt that hangs on (and thus accentuates) her hips.  A silver choker surrounds her throat and silver drips from her ears.  She has a black cloak, black shoes and opera length black gloves.  Her lips are the same fresh blood color they were earlier, and she has blue eyeshadow on>
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh. :D ))
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You have no idea how long I agonized over whether or not to give her those gloves...))
[05:52] arynwyn: Dres: <is standing outside the restaurant in his tux (looking rather uncomfortable in it), his hands in his pockets. he looks like he shaved again, but still has the scruffy shadow going on. it also looks like he's bathed; his hair is clean and grease-free, though still unkempt. he smiles and steps forward, bowing and then holding out his arm for her> You look absolutely stunning, Miss Duskblade. 
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((all of that and I didn't describe her gloves.  You notice the parts I put the most description into are formal wear and sex? I wonder what that says about me...))
[05:52] arynwyn: (( <giggle> I'm glad you did. It answered my question of "tux or no tux?" ))
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: *hair, not gloves.  yeesh.))
[05:52] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Thank you, Mr. Sunwhisper.  You clean up well yourself.  <quietly> So, a lovely evening of fabulous food.  Smile and play nice, and I'll give you what you want, hm? <slipping her arm around his> I hear the filet mignon here is absolute perfection.
[05:58] arynwyn: Dres: <leads her inside where they are seating at the best table in the house: the one by the huge bay window, just off the string quartet, and they have been given a waiter who will serve their table only (for the  best service)> Wine, to start with? <as he pulls out her chair and helps her sit, leaning low to whisper> I always play nice. <goes to sit down himself, scanning the room for anyone suspicious>
[05:58] arynwyn: *seated
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <quietly> We'll see about that.  <clears her throat> Wine would be lovely.  And you realize that with the string quartet over there, hardly anyone can hear us anyway?  Now stop searching out danger and pay attention to your "stunning" date.  <she smiles>  They wouldn't let criminals in here....except for you, of course. <wink>
[06:02] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and grins sheepishly> Force of habit, I'm afraid. <he orders the best wine they have to offer and it's brought over immediately. the waiter pours them each a glass, then steps just to the side of the table to await their next need or want. Dres takes a sip of the wine, but keeps his eyes on her>
[06:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I'm determined to have filet.  What are you going to have, sir? <smile smile flutter eyelashes>
[06:06] arynwyn: Dres: <not looking at the menu, only her> The roast quail, I think. <he gives a wave of his hand and the waiter comes to take their order. Dres orders only all-natural foods: the roast quail, boiled potatoes and vegetables, wheat bread...>
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <after she places her order, she grins at him> Nature boy, Mister Mysterio? <interlaces her fingers and rests her elbows on the table and her chin on her hands> You are an intriguing specimen.  And I do hope you realize my "criminal" comment was just my little way of teasing you.  <straightens up and sits properly, pulling her napkin off the table onto her lap>
[06:10] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and smiles> I know. I may be dangerous, but I'm not a criminal. And yes, I generally eat only natural foods. Alcohol being an exception, since it seems to be a necessity in the wild, and in my line of work. <smirks and raises his glass to her before taking a drink> 
[06:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> What's unnatural about it?  Fermented fruit juice, fermented grains....the bottle's elfmade and the cork, but that's about it.  ((As opposed to manmade. ^_^ ))  So do you like this line of work?  Danger, intrigue, gallavanting around like the playboy of Silvermoon?  <grins>
[06:15] arynwyn: Dres: <grins back> I love it. The best thing that could have happened to me, really. I fought it at first, but, eventually... <shrugs> It's in my blood. As for the alcohol, why do you think it affects the body the way it does? It's, essentially,  a poison. <smirks and takes another drink of it>
[06:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Poisons are made from all-natural ingredients. <she points out, running her finger around the rim of her glass again> Not that our very quiet little houseguest would likely know that....
[06:19] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> That's very true. <leans in> Houseguest?
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Mm, you know?  That poor unfortunate we found on our lawn?  My uncle is insulted on behalf of my sister that someone so common was sent after her.  But that's probably because whoever did this wanted there to be NO link between them. <drinks her wine>
[06:22] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and leans back, looking her over. he desperately wants to ask questions, but he pushes the urge aside. he smiles> Well, let's not discuss business over dinner. <and as if on cue, the waiter comes out with their food>
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow> You're more patient than I thought...<smiles brightly at the waiter as he sets her food down> Thank you, it looks wonderful...<then redirects to Dresden>...and more optimistic.  You seem to assume you'll have my company longer than just dinner. <grin>
[06:26] arynwyn: Dres: <can't help but laugh> Forgive my assumptions. <nods his thanks to the waiter> And I'm... not really patient. It's forced. Something else learned at the academy. <begins to eat slowly, smiling at her>
[06:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <closes her eyes as soon as she has a bite of filet in her mouth; not that I mentioned it, but she ordered it medium rare - lots of blood> Mmm. <chewing slowly then swallowing> ...like knowing what immortality is like again.
[06:31] arynwyn: Dres: <raises an eyebrow at her and continues to eat> That good, hm? <takes a drink of wine>
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You have no idea what you're missing, nature boy. <grins> So, like any good noblewoman, I love compliments. <subtle hint, smile, eat>
[06:35] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> And like most men, I'm not very good at them. You look... <eyes her over again, searching for a word> absolutely beautiful. Like heaven itself, with the color of your gown and the silver you paired with it. Like the stars in the sky. <smiles> Forgive me for not being as poetic as you are. 
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <trying not to laugh> Well, women are used to substandard compliments, since we're used to dealing with men, after all.  I thought it was very nice.  Sincerity is more important than how pretty it sounds, I promise.  For the record, you're quite striking.  Hard to look dangerous in a tux, but you...almost pull it off.  Unconventional, but then....I like that. <smirks>
[06:42] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> Why thank you. <finishes his food and takes a long drink of wine, leaning back in his chair> Dessert, Lovely? Or does the evening end here?
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Dessert?  I couldn't eat another bite.  As for our evening ending already, well, I still have more to tell you, so I suppose not.  So since you seem so uneasy about sharing information in public...<leaning across the table>...care to go somewhere private?
[06:46] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and nods> Of course. <leans across the table as well> Did you have some place in mind? 
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I leave myself in your hands, Mr. Sunwhisper.  Besides, you know what would be best for you and your brotherhood.
[06:47] arynwyn: Dres: <nods again and stands, dropping a not-so-small bag of gold onto the table and then offering his arm to her> Shall we, then?
[06:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Dumbledore's gay.  Am I supposed to be horrified or shocked or something? ))
[06:49] arynwyn: (( I heard that tonight too. A lot of people were shocked. I wasn't. If you look at his char in the books, it makes sense. ))
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <rises and takes his arm> So let me know when it's safe to bare all.
[06:50] arynwyn: Dres: <leads her out of the restaurant where the carriage is waiting> We have a couple of options, I suppose. The inn, for one. Or my place, though I'm not sure that's anywhere to take a beautiful noblewoman like you. <he helps her into the carriage>
[06:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Hmm, I would say your place is more secure from eavesdroppers, hm?  <she brushes imaginary lint off her lap as she sits>
[06:54] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Very well. <he tells the driver where to go, then climbs in. after about half an  hour, they arrive at a small cabin out in Eversong. he steps out of the carriage and holds his hand out for her> I'm afraid it's nothing special.
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles> The dinner...and seeing you in a tux...was what was intended to persuade me.  This is merely a place to conduct business.  And...it seems very like you, nature boy.  Quaint. <she smiles over her shoulder at him>
[06:59] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and heads to the door, unlocking the three locks that are on the door. he pushes it open and conducts a quick search of the house. the cabin itself is rather roomy, one bedroom and bath in the back, the kitchen off to the left and the living toward the right. the place is actually very clean and tidy, and decorated nicely. he lights a few candles> Come in, sit, please. Make yourself at home. And forgive me... <as he tugs off the tie and tux jacket> but I cannot wear that for another minute.
[06:59] arynwyn: (( he relocks the door when they get inside, too. ))
[07:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> Oh, well, I hope you'll forgive me for not stripping as well.  <she sits down on his sofa ( ? ) and crosses her legs - at the knee.  This causes her dress to hike up a little - ohmigosh! ankles!>  And as good as you looked, it...didn't seem quite right for you.  So...where to begin...?
[07:04] arynwyn: Dres: <tosses the coat and tie aside and smiles> More wine? Or somethine else?
[07:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Why, Mr. Sunwhisper, are you trying to get me drunk? <chuckle>
[07:06] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> Dare I answer that? <he goes over to the kitchen and grabs a bottle of wine and two glasses, then brings them over to her. he pops the cork and fills the two glasses, then hands her one and taking a deep drink from his own> My father's special stock. I swiped a few last time I was over there. Never had a reason to drink them, though. It's not something you drink alone. <he sits down next to her> Now, do share what you have learned.
[07:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I see, so now I have to drink. <she smiles and drinks from her glass> Well, like I said at the restaurant, the man you disposed of is a professional in the sense that he kills for money.  He's considered good, but there are so many better.  Whoever hired him believes that they are high and mighty and hired him precisely in the hope that someone so lowly could have no tie to him.  I do believe it's a him; most of the women of our generation support Aileth.  Selrone is more popular with the men our age. <drink, run her finger along the rim>
[07:10] arynwyn: Dres: <watches her run her finger over the rim, thinking> Anything else? Do you have any names, perhaps? <takes a long drink of the wine>
[07:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: A few.  Sadly all family, but if they're willing to do this, they're as good as dead to us anyway.  <drinks, noticeably not saying any names>
[07:13] arynwyn: Dres: <watches her for a moment> I suppose it's too much to ask for these names. Or is there more persuading I could do? We could go back out for dessert. <grin>
[07:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well...see, here's the problem. <sets the glass down> The Duskblades look after each other.  If there is indeed a traitor in our midst, we'd prefer to deal with it ourselves, and minimize the number of outsiders who know about it.  I know this is what my uncle would want.  But...it was a lovely dinner...and I had promised...
[07:16] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles> I don't want you to get in trouble with you uncle, but... it would be most helpful if we knew who to keep an eye on. <he lays a hand on hers> I leave the decision up to you. I know I've said it once before, but remember, we're here to protect. And perhaps there's something I could trade? Some information you want? <raises an eyebrow and drinks>
[07:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So, we'll trade information that'll get me in trouble with information that'll get you in trouble?  <she smiles>  Have you been punished yet?
[07:18] arynwyn: Dres: <looks at her, deciding, then> Yes, I have. Twently lashes, but you'd never be able to tell. Well, you could tell if you looked at my back...
[07:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Does this mean I shouldn't give you a hearty slap on the back then?
[07:19] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> You could. I wouldn't even flinch. 
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: And what would a dagger in the ribs do to you, hm?  Just...you know, asking. 
[07:22] arynwyn: Dres: That's a bit more painful, but nothing I couldn't bite back. <drinks the last of his glass of wine and decides he probably shouldn't have any more> Why? Plan on stabbing me and making a run for it? <smirk>
[07:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'm just curious as to the extent of your training.  This...academy must've been hell.
[07:24] arynwyn: Dres: Yes and no. As I said, when I first went in, I fought it. But after I sucked up my pride and got over my "I'm a noble!" attitude, it went much better. The things you learn, though... things I didn't think were possible. <shakes his head and smiles over at her>
[07:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Do you ever sleep?
[07:26] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> When I'm not on duty, but that's rare. Especially recently, what with this idiot after your sister.
[07:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she leans back against the sofa and uncrosses her legs, stretching> Hmm.  So...if you give me information, you end up punished again.  If I give you information, I end up punished as well.  Is there any way to keep our secrets while not endangering my sister?  You could just...oh I don't know, trust that we, unlike most noble families, can take care of ourselves?
[07:31] arynwyn: Dres: <sighs> I suppose I have no choice. You are the holder of the information. We will continue to investigate as we can, as we would if we didn't have an informant on the inside. <smile> But... you know, we only get in trouble if we're found out. 
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya:  And if I've learned anything about these Bloodwatchers, it's that you guys can crop up anywhere.  So...tell me what your duties are supposed to be, as regards me?  Unless that'd get you lashed again?
[07:34] arynwyn: Dres: My duties? To protect you with my life. I follow you, watch you, keep you safe even when you don't know you're in danger. Just a couple of weeks ago, you were almost mugged. Almost. <smile>
[07:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> So you're to give your life to save mine?  What if I were suddenly suicidal?
[07:36] arynwyn: Dres: I would have to prevent that to the best of my ability. And get you some help. <eyes her carefully> You don't seem like the suicidal type though.
[07:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Are you to make any sort of reports on my activities?  When I leave here tonight, are you going to write up a briefing on our dinner, conversation and my stunning dress?
[07:38] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> No. I give general reports about once a month, or if something drastic happens... like last night. Other than that, no. As long as you're safe, they don't care. And I'm sure as hell not going to tell them about tonight.
[07:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <chuckles> Oh, I'm almost hurt.  Whyever not?
[07:39] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> Nothing they need to know. And I'm selfish like that. <grin>
[07:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <leans towards him just a little> Trying to keep me all to yourself?
[07:41] arynwyn: Dres: <still grinning> As if I could. If I had my way, though, yes. 
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Women like feeling special...but it's a thin line: we like our freedom too.  Can't be too possessive or we suffocate.
[07:44] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I'm sure. I'm afraid I've not had a lot of experience with women. I've been in the brotherhood... five years now. I had a girlfriend when I went in, but she got angry and left me when I told her I couldn't tell her anything. <shrugs> Since then, I've not really been with anyone. <grins> Not like you wanted to know all that. Sorry. Guess it's the wine.
[07:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: The academy didn't teach you how to handle your liquor? <grinning>
[07:45] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I don't have a lot of opportunity to drink. A few of the men are alcoholics; I don't see how they do it. I wouldn't want to go out to Protect drunk. Especially not when it's a beauty like you.
[07:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles> See, and you said you weren't good at compliments.  I can't help but notice you keep calling me Lovely.  Do you even know my first name?  Or were you just told "Go guard this girl with the black hair?"
[07:47] arynwyn: Dres: I know your name. I'm just allowed to use it. Or am I? <winning smile>
[07:48] arynwyn: *not allowed, sorry
[07:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, if I start permitting you things like that, you might think I'll permit other liberties as well...<drops her eyes along him>
[07:49] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> I'll keep my place as a proper gentleman, then, and keep with Miss Duskblade. <though he eyes her as well>
[07:49] arynwyn: *and call you Miss Duskblade, since I used keep already. >.>
[07:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles> Interesting.  After all the times you've broken the rules, you're playing it straight now?  Such a shame...<picks up her glass again and sips> Well, is there anything else you want to know?
[07:53] arynwyn: Dres: <leans in closer> I thought you liked "true gentlemen"? <smirks> If you want me to be the dangerous man I am, I can oblige. 
[07:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow> You think the two are mutually exclusive?  Pity.
[07:57] arynwyn: Dres: <takes the wine glass from her and pulls her in, kissing her hard on the lips> 
[07:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <kisses him back encouragingly, resting her hands on his shoulders> ....mmm, better.  <she nibbles on an ear lobe and says softly> How long have you been wanting to do that?
[08:01] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and begins to kiss her neck> Since I first took my assignment, which was a few months ago. I saw you and thought you were the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on. <he runs a hand down down to the small of her back>
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So now that you've gotten that desire out of the way, any others?
[08:04] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> Of course there are others. I'm a man, aren't I? <think: Should I press my luck or not?> 
[08:04] arynwyn: (( should he press his luck or no? ))
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm....))
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: And you're not terribly shocked at my permissive behavior? <as she traces the bones in his ear with her tongue, slowly>
 
 ((She's going back and forth.  This has a point she's trying to get to...but she's also thinking that he's hot and it's been awhile))
[08:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:07] arynwyn: Dres: A bit, yes. <as he sucks on the skin of her neck> But who am I to question good things? <pressing him against her>
[08:08] arynwyn: (( grr... "pressing her against him" ))
[08:09] arynwyn: (( What do you think of him so far? ))
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So you don't know me as well as you think you do then...?
 
 ((Heh, I like him.  I really liked his reaction to her crack about "true gentleman" and "dangerous" being mutually exclusive. <giggles>))
[08:10] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:11] arynwyn: Dres: Did I ever claim to know you that well, Myanara? <smirks and pushes at the straps (( there were straps, right? )) of her gown>
[08:12] arynwyn: (( damn, sleeveless. n/m then. ))
[08:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ((eh, close enough))<she smiles and pushes him away as gently as she can> Then maybe you should get to know me better first, hm? <arches an eyebrow and smirks at him>
 
 ((<random huggles!>))
[08:13] arynwyn: Dres: <eyes her carefully and nods> Fair enough. <he gives in and pours himself another glass of wine. after that, he needs it. he takes a deep breath and drinks deep> 
[08:13] arynwyn: (( <huggles!> ))
[08:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Though you used my first name.  <her smirk fades into a smile>  Nice surprise.  But I should go back.  The two of us alone in a cabin in the woods...what Will people think?  I do thank you for the pleasant evening, Dresden.  The food was excellent, the wine superb, and the kissing wonderful.  Keep up the good work. <she winks and leans in to kiss him with slow passion>  Are you following me back?
[08:18] arynwyn: Dres: <returns the kiss gently> Of course. I'll be outside, at my post, if you need anything. <he pulls away reluctantly and stands, holding out his hand to her> 
 
 (( Hmm... Should the carriage have left? <giggle> ))
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Your call.  It's more your carriage than mine))
[08:19] arynwyn: (( Yeah, but I don't know how Mya would react. >.> ))
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she'd walk back. <laughs>))
[08:20] arynwyn: (( Aw, okay. =P ))
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she has to report to Uncle Furon that, in fact, her "Protector" seems unaware of any the missions she's been sent on in the last month, but even if he was, she might be able to convince him to keep his mouth shut through sex.))
[08:21] Chaos Angel Sox: *any of the
[08:22] arynwyn: (( Ah. Hm... He'd probably know, considering he's been following her... Unless you want him to not know? ))
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't care if he knows.  Mya and Furon probably care, but I don't. xD ))
[08:22] arynwyn: (( Okies. Then he knows. But it's not his place to judge. Only protect. ))
[08:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I feel kind of bad for Mya - I realized that I don't think she's ever slept with anyone unless there was some personal/familial gain to be had from it.))
[08:23] arynwyn: (( Aww. How sad!! ))
[08:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not that she hasn't enjoyed herself sometimes, but...still....))
[08:23] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:24] arynwyn: (( So, FF then? To when....? ))
[08:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Uncle, can I sleep with him?  Please?  It'll...um...help to keep him...complacent.
 Furon: <raises an eyebrow>
 Mya: ... ... ...<blush fidget>))
[08:25] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Dres: We only get in trouble if they find out, remember?... <grin> ))
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Trust me, my uncle will find out.))
[08:25] arynwyn: (( Dres: >.> Lame. ))
[08:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Yeah, my stepcousin didn't like it either. <cough clear throat> You realize once I find out you do know the family business I have to either kill you, brainwash you, find something to blackmail you with, or marry you.))
[08:26] arynwyn: (( Dres: O_o ))
[08:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Just the way it works.  I might brainwash you though...it'd be fun to have a pet ^_~ ))
[08:28] arynwyn: (( Dres: Heh, good luck with that. You've got about fifty men and women to fight first. The brotherhood won't like that. Let's just get married. That's the easiest, and least painful. <winning smile> ))
[08:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: You just want to marry me so you can get to the honeymoon part.))
[08:29] arynwyn: (( Dres: Yeah, so? <grin> ))
[08:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: <shrugs> A marriage founded on sex and murder...and covering up murder.  Sounds about right, actually....I'll start ordering flowers and bridesmaids' dresses...))
[08:30] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Dres: Oh dear. What have I gotten myself into? >.> ))
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Me...eventually. <wink> Unless I have a headache on our wedding night...))
[08:31] arynwyn: (( Dres: <thoughtful> I'll make sure I have a remedy from an apothecary.  <grin> ))
[08:31] arynwyn: (( So anyway, you wanna switch to Mal & Mai  maybe? ))
[08:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: <laughs> You know, orgasms help relieve headaches....I'm just saying.
 Actually I'm pretty beat.  Doing that yawning and rubbing of the eyes thing.))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay. Figured you might be. =(  ))
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah sorry.  It's 8:30 AM here.))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> You don't work today, right? ))
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: But today is a day of no work, no class, no nada!
[08:32] arynwyn: Sweet.
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: stop getting inside my heeeeaaddd
[08:32] arynwyn: When do you think you'll be on?
[08:32] arynwyn: <laugh> I like it in here though!!
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: At the earliest, probably 5 PM my time.
[08:33] arynwyn: Mkay. So that's 11 AM for me. I'm sure I'll be up by then.
[08:33] arynwyn: Well, sleep well. <huggles>
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: You wakey wakey when you wanna and I'll do the same.  Not like we don't have Sims to entertain us in the meantime ^_~
[08:33] arynwyn: True enough. ^^
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <giggles> Have happy sleepings when you go there.
[08:34] arynwyn: You too! 
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: and go pounce the flexing hubbikins
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: :)
[08:34] arynwyn: He went to bed. >.<
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: so? I'm sure you can think of ways to wake him up that won't have him complaining....
[08:34] arynwyn: <LOL> Maybe I should...
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugses> g'night ^_^ morning. whatevah
[08:35] arynwyn: <huggles> Night!
[08:35] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Sun Oct 21 08:35:28 2007.
[21:15] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Sun Oct 21 21:15:25 2007.
[21:15] arynwyn: <poke?>
[21:15] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs>
[21:15] arynwyn: <hugs>
[21:15] Chaos Angel Sox: let me close da Sims
[21:17] Chaos Angel Sox: okay.
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: takes my Sims a bit to shut down >.>
[21:18] arynwyn: Sweet.
[21:18] arynwyn: Heh, no worries.
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: how's you today? ^_^
[21:19] arynwyn: Eh... my mom called at noon (I was still in bed but I talked to her) and she upset me.  I told her I wanted to go back to school in Jan. Well, here's the convo:
 
 Me: Tim and I talked and I'm going to go back to school in January.
 Mom: <pause> Huh.
 Me: ...thats it? "Huh"?
 Mom: Guess I'm a little surprised.
 Me: ... ... ...
[21:20] Chaos Angel Sox: awww.  <huggles>
[21:20] arynwyn: <huggles> Hopefully my dad will be more supportive. 
[21:20] arynwyn: So then I went back to sleep until now,
[21:20] arynwyn: How about you? How was your day?
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
 then Sims.  Finished Dawnfield, made a new house and a new character, and he's falling in love with Ryne. <laughs>
[21:21] arynwyn: Awww!!
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: I had the new guy (Davies) call Mal up to come hang out.  And Mal shows up...and Ryne just happens to drop in.  They all know each other equally well at this point.
[21:22] arynwyn: <laugh> Nice.
[21:22] Chaos Angel Sox: I say "Hey, Greet Mal" and Mal gets a hug and a pat on the back from Davies.
 I say "Hey, Greet Amaryne" and he wraps his arms around her and bends her backwards to kiss her.
 Me: O_o
[21:22] arynwyn: <LOL>
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Ryne does weird things.  Quick peck on the lips? Totally okay.  He tries to kiss her hand and she yanks it away and their scores go down.
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: But whatever... <shrug>
[21:23] arynwyn: <snerk>
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: women.
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: anyway.... ^_^;;
[21:24] arynwyn: RPness?
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay!
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: I mean, sure. that'd be nice.
[21:24] arynwyn: I've gotta do dishes sometime, unfortunately... 
[21:24] arynwyn: <laugh>
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: I...ought to do dishes.  Probably also laundry.  Actually let me go put a load in before we start, 'cause the laundry's threatening to kill us all.
[21:24] arynwyn: Sure thing.
[21:25] arynwyn: Wish I were one of my Sims. They always get maids. Well, that and they never have laundry. >.>
[21:29] arynwyn: So, I didn't go to bed when you did last night. I tried but I wasn't tired. I laid there a long time. I thought about what more to do with Dres & Mya, but the only things I really came up with were an epic battle between rogue cousin and Dres, and the entrance of Ari's and Char's sister. But I'm not sure I should bring in ANOTHER char. You'd probably hate me forever. >.>
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: I would not hate you forever!! Or at all!! :P
 
 and you didn't go to bed when I did?!?! <hurt shock wounded emo drama crap> I feel so betrayed....  j/k
[21:35] arynwyn: Aww! =P
[21:36] arynwyn: Okies. So, pick what you wanna do! :-D
[21:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Damn between Sims and starting laundry I kinda want to clean....Down Domestic Goddess Mojo!  Down down!
 
 Umm...what to do....<tap tap think think>
[21:37] arynwyn: <laugh>
[21:37] arynwyn: You can go clean, silly. O_o
[21:38] Chaos Angel Sox: yeah but...you're here now. <huggles>
[21:38] arynwyn: Hehe, okies. <huggles>
[21:38] arynwyn: Oh, and with Ari's sister coming, that means that, at least for now, I don't have a new guy for Kat. 
[21:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Meh.  That's okay.
 Kat: Not complaining!
 I want her to be torn between this idea of marrying for her family and what she personally wants, but we can do that at any point.
[21:41] arynwyn: <nodnod> I can come up with another guy. But this char is just COOL as a woman.
[21:44] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> cooooooooooooooooool daddy-o.  like cooool.
[21:44] arynwyn: O_o
[21:44] arynwyn: Sure. >.>
[21:44] arynwyn: So, decide where to start yet?
[21:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Erm, no? ^_^;;
 Umm.....Mal & Mai aren't gonna have much to do until they get back to Silvermoon.
 Once the family knows for sure that it's Paeron (cousin who wants Selrone in charge) who's doing this, he will quietly have an accident....but I'm thinking there should be some way that Dres finds that out or something.
[21:47] arynwyn: <nodnod> I agree. Maybe Dres & Furon talk and the brotherhood offers to do the dirty work? 'cause that's something they'd do. Eliminate the threat. I dunno, you know more about the family than I do.
[21:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <watching Alarm Cat again>
[21:48] arynwyn: <giggles> I watched it 3 times last night.
[21:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Murphy did this this morning, except for the baseball bat.
[21:48] arynwyn: <LOL>
[21:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm.  If the Bloodwatchers came to Furon to talk, he'd probably verify their existence and mission, then would gladly let them do the dirty work.  After all, the Duskblades are a good and noble family - how could they *bear* to kill one of their own?  He sadly acknowledges the need for it though...
 
 ...actually at this point, Furon's already verified who and what they are, since Mya's been feeding him information.  he'd probably try and get more info out of Dresden though, since Dres's been watching Mya for months now.
[21:52] arynwyn: Mkay. So, do you want a meeting between the two?
[21:53] arynwyn: Oh, and... <evil grin> Furon's Protector knows he was the one who attempted to kill the Regent Lord.
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooooo nice.
 The question is: are the Bloodwatchers more loyal to Kael'thas or to Lor'themar?
[21:54] arynwyn: Who's Lor'themar? >.>
[21:54] arynwyn: The Regent Lord?
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod>
[21:54] arynwyn: Kael'thas. Their orders come directly from him.
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh then we're good. <laughs>
[21:54] arynwyn: yep! :-D
[21:55] arynwyn: And their place is to protect, no judge. Unless they're revolting against Kael'thas... then they'd kill. >.>
[21:55] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O 
[21:55] arynwyn: *not
[21:55] arynwyn: What?
[21:55] Chaos Angel Sox: the killing
[21:55] arynwyn: Well, if Furon tried to assassinate Kael'thas suddenly? No way.
[21:55] Chaos Angel Sox: No worries there though; the Duskblades are loyal unto death.
[21:56] arynwyn: <nodnod> I figured. ^^
[21:56] arynwyn: Which is why they've been given the top Protectors.
[21:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Bloodwatchers: We protect people in the name of Kael'thas!
 Duskblades: We kill who Kael'thas tells us to. 
[21:57] arynwyn: Bloodwatchers: Kay, as long as you're not killing others Kael'thas wants protected... 
[21:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Duskblades: If our Prince tells us to kill someone, I doubt he'd want them protected. >.>  Or vice versa.
[21:57] arynwyn: Bloodwatchers: Exactly.
[21:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Duskblades: Really we're just jealous of your cool name, Bloodwatchers.
[21:58] arynwyn: Bloodwatchers: <laugh> Er, thanks? 
[21:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Meeting? I don't know how much *fun* it'll be, per se.  Unless Dres wants to feel out how Furon would feel about "an alliance" <coughmarryingMyacoughcough> - though I don't know if he's really considering any such a thing at this rate.
[22:00] arynwyn: He'd talk to Mya about it first. Being married to a Bloodwatcher isn't easy. He's allowed to cut down his hours, but not give it up. Not until he has children is he allowed to quit.
[22:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Okay.  <laughs> 'course she'd say "I'm marrying whoever my uncle tells me to." >.>  but anyway - we could do the meeting or just figure out what happened/was said at it
[22:01] arynwyn: Either. Would Mya be present?
[22:02] Chaos Angel Sox: I keep getting Macy's catalogs...
 Um, Mya would be present...but not visible. ^_^;
[22:03] arynwyn: Heh, she'd be visible. Oh, that's something I wanted to ask you...
[22:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Hm?
[22:03] arynwyn: Well, one of the things I was going to have the Bloodwatchers trained in is seeing through stealth. Unless you think that's too god-modded?
[22:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Eh.  I worry less about that here than I would in the actual game.  The Bloodwatchers are supposed to be uber-elite, so that sounds right.
[22:04] arynwyn: But I mean, how else could they *really* protect?
[22:04] arynwyn: Okies.
[22:04] arynwyn: Yay.
[22:04] arynwyn: So, RPing the meeting or just summarizing?
[22:04] Chaos Angel Sox: we can RP it if you like.
[22:05] Chaos Angel Sox: :)
[22:05] arynwyn: Sure!!
[22:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Okee.  
[22:05] arynwyn: You wanna start? Or should I start with him arriving?
[22:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Is he going to knock on the front door or stealth his way in?
[22:06] arynwyn: He'd more than likely knock. Not supposed to enter unless they're in danger, 'member?
[22:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Okee.  I'll just have the butler bring him into Furon's study then...
[22:06] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[22:10] Chaos Angel Sox: <The butler who answered the door leads Dresden back to the Master's study, which is all crimson hues and dark redwoods.  The handsome dignified man behind the desk doesn't look up from his work as he waves Dresden in.  The butler bows and, after Dres enters, shuts the door behind them.  Mya is in full ninja...er...rogue gear, stealthed and crouched behind her uncle; her eyes study their guest, noting gear and weaponry.  Furon gestures to a chair, then finally looks at him and smiles civilly> 
 Furon: Brandy?  Port?  Wine?  I have some very smooth scotch whiskey if you prefer.  <he stands and moves to a side bar>
[22:12] arynwyn: Dres: <is in his gear, all black leather and with his two swords sheathed, and he bows to Furon. his eyes linger on Mya for a moment and he smirks a little, then sits down where indicated> I'm fine, thank you. 
[22:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow at how long he looks in her direction>
 Furon: <if he's noticed that the man is staring at where his niece should be, he doesn't show it; he pours himself a glass of scotch and resumes his seat at the desk> I understand you are the Bloodwatcher assigned to protect my second oldest niece.  I hope she hasn't been too much of a bother for you. <sip>
[22:16] arynwyn: Dres: Not at all. I've protected much worse than her, I assure you. <studies Furon and glances back at Mya with another smirk>
[22:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frown, though her lower face is covered>
 Furon: Glad to hear she's behaving herself.  Of course, if you found her doing anything...unladylike...I would be grateful if you'd let me know.
 
 ((gotta check on washer; bbiab))
[22:19] arynwyn: Dres: <leans back in his chair and studies the two> And what would you define as "unladylike", sir? 
[22:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: Anything a young lady of good breeding shouldn't be doing.  You're from one of the best families in Silvermoon; I'm sure you understand what Society does and does not allow. <sips his scotch>  And of course, if she were doing anything illegal, I would prefer you came to me first, before going to the authorities.  Not that I think she would, mind you: Myanara's always been exceptionally well behaved and proper.  But since you are already watching over her...on the off chance that my niece has changed from the sterling young woman I think I know...
[22:29] arynwyn: Dres: <leans forward, smirking> I think we both know what Miss Duskblade does that society wouldn't like. After all, you're the one who dishes out assignments, correct? You are the head of the family. <leans back again and looks over at Mya> Look, at long as you're doing Prince Kael'thas' work, we won't have a problem. We're here to protect, not judge.
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <sips his scotch and muses over that, then nods quietly to himself as he taps on the armrest of his chair twice with two fingers>
 Mya: <seems to flinch a little, and barely stifles a sigh, hanging her head a little; she doesn't move any more than that>
 Furon: So what purpose do you have in coming here then, Mister Sunwhisper?
[22:34] arynwyn: Dres: <doesn't answer immediately, instead he watches Mya curiously, wondering what the signal was about> I was instructed to make you an offer, sir. You provide the Bloodwatchers with the information we need, and we will eliminate the threat. It's what we do best, you see. 
[22:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <he chuckles> And here I thought the purpose of your organization was to protect, not to eliminate.  <he ponders this over another sip of scotch>  However, it would look better the less we were involved in this.  <he sets the scotch glass down and writes something on a piece of paper, then offers it to Dresden>  It's a sadness to have such disloyalty crop up within our own family.  I would far rather the boy could be set back on the right path, but it's become clear to me that such thinking is fanciful at best.  I will talk to the boy's father, however.  I do believe that end should be handled by us.  And I hope that, with the satisfactory conclusion of this business, the Bloodwatchers can continue on with protecting others.
 [The note has a name (Paeron Duskblade) and his address.]
 
 ((Ooh, just thought of something....))
[22:41] arynwyn: Dres: <stuffs the paper in his pocket and nods> We'll take care of it. 
 
 (( What'd you think of? ))
[22:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You'll see....))
 Furon: Excellent.  We're grateful for your assistance on this matter, and of course for our Prince's concern for our family's safety.  Aileth is so very precious to us all, especially when we'd thought we'd lost her.  She already shows such promise in so many areas.  Of course, I've yet to find a satisfactory suitor for her: a man of good family who understands that nobility is about more than fancy parties and nice clothes.  <he smiles at Dresden> Tell me, have you given any thought to family, Mister Sunwhisper?
 Mya: <does not seem surprised by this turn of conversation, though the way her eyes dart away from her uncle, she doesn't seem exactly...pleased>
[22:48] arynwyn: Dres: <raises an eyebrow> Not many women would want to marry a man who disappears for weeks on end, not knowing if they will ever see him again. <watches Mya> If you're hinting at me possibly marrying Aileth, well, let's just say I have my sights on someone else. <smile>
[22:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <looks him in the eye and arches an eyebrow>
 Furon: Ah, such a pity, though you have an excellent point.  I wish you good luck with your prey then.
 Mya: <rolls her eyes>
 Furon: And of course, you'll convey to our Prince our deep gratitude and loyalty, yes?  We stand ever ready to use our limited abilities in his service.  <stands and gestures to the door> If you're hungry, stop by the kitchens.  My wife's angel food cake is nearly as lovely as she is.  And of course, you're welcome to dinner any time.  Unless you'd rather Myanara extended that invitation? <smile>
[22:57] arynwyn: Dres: <stands and bows> I'll pass along the message. And thank you for the offer, but I will pass on the food. I'm a rather picky eater, I'm afraid. <he steps to the door and opens it, then turns to look at Mya with a smirk> I'll be at my post, if you need anything. <he steps out and closes the door behind him>
[23:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: Fascinating that he knew you were here the whole time.  Of course, he seems to know a great deal about you.
 Mya: <breaking stealth as she stands, grateful not to be crouching> He's had training far better than mine, Uncle.
 Furon: It's true.  It doesn't lessen your punishment.  Go.
 Mya: <nods> Yes, Uncle.
 Furon: And Myanara?  He already knows about us, he doesn't pass judgement and he'll keep quiet.  He's loyal to the throne, of good family, and already interested in you.  A pity he couldn't be swayed to Aileth, but you should encourage him.
 Mya: <nods> Yes, Uncle.
 Furon: Go on then.  You'll stay for dinner, or Selah will never forgive me. 
 Mya: <stealths to leave the room and change clothes>
 
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((there you go, Mya.  Uncle has spoken.))
[23:04] arynwyn: (( Poor Mya! <huggles her> ))
[23:04] arynwyn: (( okies, now what? ))
[23:04] arynwyn: (( Why is she being punished? ))
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm. Good qvestion.  Oh she's being punished because someone has caught her doing her dirty deeds.  No one's supposed to see her doing her assignments.))
[23:05] arynwyn: (( ~_~ ))
[23:05] arynwyn: (( That's ridiculous! He can see through stealth! ))
[23:06] arynwyn: (( Oh well. Okay. Uhm, the thing I had planned was Dres taking the weekend off (thus entering Keira)... but... I dunno if now's the best time. I mean, the point was to have her spend the weekend with him... ))
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shrugs> Why not?  seems like a good time to me))
[23:07] arynwyn: (( Heh, okies. So, Friday then? Are they still hanging out during the day? ))
[23:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I would assume so.))
[23:08] arynwyn: (( okies. where should they be? ))
[23:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((argh laundry.))
[23:08] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[23:19] arynwyn: (( WOO! You're back. ))
[23:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and that wasn't even half the load....umm...if not the Bazaar, then....ummm...Royal Exchange?))
[23:20] arynwyn: (( Sure. Either/or. ))
[23:20] arynwyn: (( check out the awesomeness of this coat: (Link: http://www.landsend.com/pp/DownCommuterCoat~112982_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::LSN&CM_MERCH=IDX_00001__0000000044&origin=index)http://www.landsend.com/pp/DownCommuterCoat~112982_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::LSN&CM_MERCH=IDX_00001__0000000044&origin=index&nbsp;-))
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Nice!! ))
[23:21] arynwyn: (( Yummy! Reminds me of my happy coat I'll need for ND. ))
[23:21] arynwyn: (( Anyway... ))
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> should Mya be at the Exchange then?))
[23:21] arynwyn: (( Sure thing. ))
[23:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is finishing up her business at the bank, ending with taking out a not-inconsiderable amount of coin>
[23:22] arynwyn: (( should he be stealthed? ))
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shrugs> His call.))
[23:25] arynwyn: Dres: <has been stealthed all day, keeping quiet and keeping watch, as he should. he's been thinking hard on Mya's family and her place in it, and he's decided he doesn't like it>
[23:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <walks back out into the sunlight, impeccably and modestly dressed as usual, this time in more autumnal reds and golds.  She looks around, frowning, and heads for the small fountain in the exchange.  She sits on the grass and plays with a fallen leaf, watching those in the exchange carefully even as she seems to be doing nothing but twirling a leaf.>
[23:30] arynwyn: Dres: <watches her for a moment, then, giving a silent sigh, slips out of stealth and goes to sit down next to her. he's wearing his gear, intead of noble's clothes, so he looks a little out of place. it also looks like he's not shaved in a couple of days, and he looks tired> Sometheing the matter, Lovely?
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she watches him sit next to her> Perhaps I should be asking you that?  You don't look...quite your dangerous, unflappable self.
[23:34] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles> I'm fine, thank you for your concern. But it is time for me to take a couple of days off. This weekend, actually. I've arranged for you to have a friend of mine as your Protector. She's the best, someone I'd trust my own life with. She's not a rogue, so you may notice her following you.
[23:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <pouts cutely> Is she as good a kisser as you are?
[23:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((brb checking on rest of that load))
[23:35] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[23:36] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> I wouldn't know. I've never kissed her. <glances around at the people passing by> Of course, there is an alternative... <grins voer at her>
[23:36] arynwyn: *over
[23:44] arynwyn: (( Woo! Back-ness! :-D ))
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((back - response coming))
[23:44] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh? And what might that be?  I do like having options...
[23:45] arynwyn: Dres: <still grinning> You could join me at my place for the weekend. Get some much needed relaxation. Have some fun for a change. I think you work too hard.
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> You think I work too hard?  And what do you mean by that?
[23:48] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> It seemed to me that your uncle has a pretty tight collar around your pretty neck. When was the last time you did something because you wanted to? Just because you enjoy it?
[23:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I do things I enjoy all the time.  I like to read and write, and shop...<she smiles>.  I actually like the majority of my "assignments" as you call them.  Well...I like being able to pull them off.  I like to spend time with my sisters and my father.  And enjoying these things means doing what my uncle tells me to do.  It is a mark of his respect for me and my abilities that he gives me so many duties.
[23:52] arynwyn: Dres: <bows his head> Then forgive me. <he looks at the sky> I'm off at sunset. My replacement will be here before I leave. If you need anything from me, specifically, I'll be at my cabin in Eversong. 
[23:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: And what will you do with two entire days off?  Sleep, I hope.  <she rests a hand against his cheek> You look awful.
[23:54] arynwyn: Dres:  <smiles and looks into her eyes> Sleep some, yes. Rest a lot. I hope to not do much of anything, honestly. I might train my bow some. My aim's gotten a little off and I can't have that.
[23:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So tell me about this woman you're leaving me with? <she sidles up next to him and rests her head on his shoulder>
[23:58] arynwyn: Dres: <seems a little surprised at this, but he wraps his arm around her> She's the best. We graduated together, and she was the top of our class. She's two ranks above me, and she's doing this as a favor. She's tough on the outside, really tough, but she's still a nice person.
[23:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You're leaving me with a governess? <she giggles>  Am I that childish in your eyes? <grin>
[00:00] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and kisses her temple> Nothing like that, Lovely. And you are certainly no child. <looking her up and down>
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'd hope not.  One does not kiss children the way you've kissed me.  I'd have you turned in as a pervert.  <she smiles and snuggles in against him>  So...when you've returned to me, what should I expect?
[00:02] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: I am away from my computer right now.
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((liiiiess))
[00:03] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:03] arynwyn: Dres: What should you expect? <raises an eyebrow> What do you mean by that?
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I rather liked playing our little game.  I'd hate to think you'll go back to just stalking me in the shadows, where I won't be able to see you again.
[00:06] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Doin' some other stuffs. Eating or chillin' with the husband. 
[00:08] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs and leans in to kiss her gently> Nothing could get me to just disappear, Lovely, I promise you that. <he nuzzles her ear> So, that's a no to spending the weekend with me? Even if I promise to be a gentleman on his best behavior?
[00:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Should she go with him or should she stay and play with the "governess"?))
[00:09] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Doesn't matter. Whatever she'd do IC. ))
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she giggles> If you promise to be a gentleman on his best behavior, then the governess sounds more fun.
[00:10] arynwyn: Dres: <growls> Fine then, no gentleman for you. <bites at her ear gently>
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she chuckles> Much better.  After all, you already know how "unladylike" I can be...only seems fair you return the favor. <smirk>
[00:15] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> Fair enough. And, for the record, when you do your... "thing"... It's damn sexy. <kisses her neck and pulls away> Going to pack some things before we go then? Or are you going to hang around my place in nothing? <think> Well, in that case, I'm going to say no packing for you. 
[00:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> When I do what "thing", Mr. Sunwhisper? <she rises> And I believe I should pack.  If nothing else, I'll have to let my family know that I'm....staying at a friend's for the weekend, hm?  Wouldn't want them to worry.
[00:17] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and nods> Of course. <he gives a bow, then slips back into stealth> Wear something you can ride a horse in. 
[00:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods her head and smiles> I'll see you near my home then....I hope.  You're so much better at seeing me than I am at seeing you...
[00:21] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and follows her>
[00:21] arynwyn: (( sorry, ran to the bathroom ))
[00:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay.  I'm in the beginning stages of making shells & cheese for me and Joe))
[00:22] arynwyn: (( okies. start with Mya coming out with her stuff? I can at least enter Keira... ))
[00:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure.))
[00:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <walks out of the front door in black pants and riding boots, a white button-up blouse, gray vest, and black cloak.  She has a small bag with her, which she slings over her shoulder as she looks around>
[00:27] arynwyn: <Dres is under a nearby tree chatting with Keira. She is an imposing woman, clad in heavy plate armor (none of that skimpy stuff for her!). Her blonde hair is tied back and her eyes are constantly moving. They fall on Mya and she looks her over, obviously judging. Dres turns and smiles at Mya> 
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((this is based loosely on WoW - and it's a damn pretty pic))
[00:27] *** arynwyn has received fantasy2.jpg.
[00:28] arynwyn: (( Cool! ))
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods to the both of them> This must be the friend you spoke of?
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not quite a Tauren there, but really cool looking.  and the elf chick? awesome.  And NOT scantily clad for a change, thank you L-Sama))
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I mean, yeah, there's some boobage but that's it.  full pants!  so happy! :3 ))
[00:29] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Miss Duskblade this is... <turns and looks at Keira, unsure if she wants her name known>
 Kiera: <holds out a hand> Keira Vel'Ranian. 
[00:29] arynwyn: (( Yeah, no kidding. <laugh> ))
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Very pleased to meet you. <faint smile> I've not met your family personally, but they are well spoken of.
[00:33] arynwyn: Keira: <nods, not smiling> Yes, I'm sure they are. <turns to Dres> I'll be off then. You still owe me. I came out here for nothing. Waste of my time. <she does smile at him though> I'll make sure it's something especially painful, don't worry.
 Dres: <chuckles> I'm sure you will. <gives a wave as she walks away>
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...<pouts> Oh, if anyone's going to be doing anything painful to you, I'd hoped it would be me.
[00:34] arynwyn: Dres: <turns to her and grins, leaning to to kiss hard> Sounds hot. Let's go. <he takes her hand and leads her down the road where a couple of horses (I know, they should be hawkstriders, but ugh...) are waiting> Sorry it's not a carriage, but they're hard to get on short notice.
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ((<laugh> No more chocobos!)) It's fine.  You think I can't ride?
[00:38] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and takes her bag> I counted on it, obviously. <he helps her up onto her horse, then swings onto his own> Keep up! <he takes off at a trot>
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <kicks the horse to chase after him>
[00:42] arynwyn: <after a half an hour, they arrive at his cabin. he dismounts and ties their horses up, then helps her down. He goes to unlock the door, still carrying her bag, and then does his usual check of the house> Safe. <he smiles and sets their things down> I'm going to take care of the horses. I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Make yourself at home. <quick kiss, then he's out the door
[00:42] arynwyn: >
[00:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <picks her hairbrush out of her bag and begins taming her wind-blown hair again, looking around at the cabin and pondering things>
[00:44] arynwyn: Dres: <reappears after about ten minutes, shutting and locking the door. he lets out a great sigh> Home at last. <he kicks off his shoes and goes over to collapse on the couch> 
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she starts perusing the kitchen, just getting an idea of what's there> So now that you have an unexpected guest, what are your plans for your days off?
[00:49] arynwyn: Dres: <think: Rapant sex?> Whatever my guest desires. And some sleep. I hope. <he forces himself to get up and go over to her, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissing her neck> And don't worry, I can cook. 
[00:49] arynwyn: *rampant
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'll cook.  You rest.  You need it.  <she looks over her shoulder at him> I plan on keeping you up tonight. <smirk>
[00:50] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> Oh really? What did you have in mind? <still kissing her neck, his hands sliding down her sides>
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Ohhh now, I can't ruin the surprise, can I? 
[00:52] arynwyn: Dres: Or you could just surprise me now?... <his hands toy with the hem of her shirt>
[00:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <turns around to look at him innocently> I can't just make food appear!  It needs time to cook!! <smile bat eyelashes>
[00:54] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and leans in to kiss her> Very well. I'll be a good boy and wait. For now. <pulls away and goes to a cabinet to pull out a bottle of rum> Want some? <pours himself a glass>
[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was serving dinner))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( no worries. yay food! ))
[00:58] arynwyn: (( heh, dinner at 1 AM? <snicker> ))
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Yes, please and thank you.  <pulling food out of cabinets>  So, how can you see through stealth?
[01:01] arynwyn: Dres: <pours her a glass and sets it out for her, then takes a long drink of his own> Heh, that's the toughest training we go through. <shakes his head> Takes months. Not Easy. <goes and sits down at the table, taking off his weapons and extra armor, including his chest piece. and he's not wearing a shirt> 
[01:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <drinks from her rum and rolls up her sleeves to start cooking> So why didn't you ask that I be removed?  I was not supposed to be there.
[01:05] arynwyn: Dres: At the meeting with your uncle? <shrug> You thought you needed to be there. Did you learn anything interesting? <kicks back the rest of his drink and pulls out a cloth to start wiping down his swords>
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: My uncle thought I needed to be there.  I was a little surprised you turned down Aileth without even seeing her; she's much prettier than I am...<looks at him over her shoulder, her eyes dipping over his exposed chest briefly>...and better mannered.
[01:08] arynwyn: Dres: <looks up from his weapons and grins> My eldest brother is the one who has to marry into a good family. I'm the youngest. I do whatever - or whoever - the hell I want. 'Specially since I was the one chosen to join the Bloodwatchers. 
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Ah, there is that.  Perhaps you are not fit for Aileth after all.  So it's just as well.  <she returns her attention to the stove, and there's the hiss of food hitting heat>  And am I really so hard to look after?
[01:13] arynwyn: Dres: Hard to look after? Who said that? <sheathes his weapons and goes to set them in a corner. he steps over to her and leans against the counter to watch her cook> Honestly, you're the best charge I've had. Sure, you have your... family business... but at least you're GOOD at it. <shakes his head> I protected a rogue once who just sucked at his work. He always had assassins after him because the people he attempted, and yes, failed, to kill found out it was him and tried to have him killed off. 
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she turns to face him quickly> And there is some worry in the family about you knowing about our business.  Obviously we work for our Prince, so if someone is going to know besides him and us, the Bloodwatchers would be the best.  But...there is worry about who you talk to....and who they talk to.  We have had our own show of disloyalty already; surely it's possible even among the Bloodwatchers.  The short version is, the fewer people who know that the Duskblades are anything more than a well-to-do noble family, the happier we are.
[01:19] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Only one other person knows, Myanara. The head of the order. All my reports go directly to him, and he reports directly to Prince Kael'thas. I understand your family's position better than I think you know. I live a dual life too. No one knows that Dresden Sunwhisper is a Bloodwatcher. I'm in the same situation you are in, honestly. You have information that, if it gets out, will result in my death. This is a secret society. And I blew that. I wish you hadn't told your uncle but... <shrug> What's done is done.
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: My uncle is, in effect, the head of my order.  And he reports directly to our Prince.  <she turns to push the food around in the pan so it doesn't burn, then turns back to him> So, what it comes down to is that if I'm untrustworthy, you are dead...and if you are untrustworthy, so am I.  <she smiles>  So what we have here is...danger, sex and death.  Sounds like a good time to me.
[01:24] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and pulls her close, kissing her hard> Me too. <he touches her cheek gently> And I'd die before I'd let you die. And not just 'cause of my Bloodwatcher's oath, Myanara.
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh?  Why is that, Mister Mysterio? <running her hands over his chest>
[01:26] arynwyn: Dres: <nuzzles her neck and kisses it> Lots of reasons, Lovely. I like having you around. You give me something to look forward too. 
[01:26] arynwyn: *to
[01:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> Well, if I give you what you want, what will you have to look forward to, hm? <pushing away gently and turning back to the food to rescue it from burning> Perhaps we should behave as ladies and gentlemen after all. <does a bad job of stifling her chuckle>
[01:28] arynwyn: Dres: <growls low in his throat and tugs her back to him> I think not. <bites at her ear gently, then lets her go, grinning. he retrieves his glass and pours himself more rum>
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So what else will you have to look forward to then? <she's smiling widely, looking quietly content, as she adds more to the pan and shifts the food around>
[01:31] arynwyn: Dres: <takes a drink and sets his glass down, studying her> What else? I wasn't referring to sex with you, if that's what you think. I look forward to seeing you at all. I look forward to being graced with your presence. You, Lovely, make the sun dim when you step outside each morning. <brushes some hair out of her face>
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she chuckles and pulls the food off the heat> And you said you weren't good at compliments.  Liar.  Do you have bread around here somewhere?  Preferably the nice crusty kind?
[01:34] arynwyn: Dres: <searches around in his cabinets until he locates a baguette> This okay?
[01:34] arynwyn: (( oh, and all the food he has is all-natural stuffs, of course. ))
[01:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: That will work.  <hunts around for bowls and dumps half the pan's contents in one bowl and half in the other> Bring it to the table.  <starts hunting for forks>
[01:36] arynwyn: Dres: <takes the bowls and sets them down, then goes to fetch their drinks> Do you want something else to drink? Wine maybe? Or is the rum okay?
[01:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Rum's fine for this.  <she gathers up the forks and takes them to the table, setting one near his bowl>  I hate for this to be the first thing I cook for you, but I didn't think either of us wanted a four course meal that takes hours to prepare, hm?  <she tears off a piece of baguette, forks some of the bowl's contents (random meat & veggies) onto the bread and takes a bite>
[01:38] arynwyn: Dres: <sites down and begins to eat heartily (unlike at the restaurant where he was trying to be a gentleman)> This is fantastic. <his food quickly disappears>
[01:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she smiles> It's...rustic.  Like your home here.  It just...seemed like you.  Though it's not dangerous.  Unless you eat it so fast you choke. <she chuckles and eats more reservedly>
[01:40] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and finishes off his food, then drinks the last of his rum> Thanks for cooking. I really didn't expect you to. 
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Yes, well you were supposed to be resting.  Of course, I kept talking to you, so I suppose this is my fault.
[01:43] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I've gone a seventeen days without sleep before. I'm not nearly that far; I'm sure I can last a few more hours. <takes his bowl to the sink and rinses it out, then begins to wash the pan and whatever other dishes got used>
[01:43] arynwyn: *gone seventeen, not gone a seventeen. >.>
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You'd better; fall asleep in the middle of things, and I may have to kill you. <she rises, picks up her bag and heads for the bedroom> Just going to freshen up a bit.
[01:45] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs a little, then grabs her bowl and such to wash as well. once he's finished, he picks up his armor and whatnot, straightening the place (I did mention he's a neat-freak, yes? >.> )>
[01:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You did, in fact. <giggles>))
 Mya: <pulls out something black, silken, lacy, tight and short and slips into it, then double-checks her hair, her lipstick, everything.  She looks at herself in the mirror and wonders who she's doing this for as she smooths the silk over her figure.  Then she gives up the self-examination and lays on her side on the bed, facing the door, and puts on her most becoming smile>
[01:52] arynwyn: Dres: <finishes picking up and then goes to tap on the door, wondering what's taking her so long> Myanara? Are you alright?... 
[01:53] arynwyn: (( <giggle> LOVE the "black, silken, lacy, tight and short" :-D ))
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> More to the point, will he love it?))
 Mya: I'd be better if you were in here with me. <she pitches her voice to increase the normal rich smokiness it tends to have>
[01:55] arynwyn: Dres: <pushes the door open and leans against the frame, looking her over, grinning> Wow... I didn't think noblewomen were supposed to own anything like that. 
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs, sitting up> And I thought gentlemen weren't dangerous. <she crawls over to the edge of the bed on hands and knees, sits back on her knees (kneeling on the bed) and beckons to him with one finger> So if you can give me some assurance you won't pass out on me any time soon, maybe you can deprive me of this article of clothing I'm not supposed to own?
[01:59] arynwyn: Dres: <steps into the room and kicks the door shut, then walks over to her slowly> Hm... I might be able to last that long. <he grins and leans down to kiss her deeply, one hand running down her back>
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <after she pulls away from him, she returns his grin> I already told you what happens if you don't. <as she starts in on getting his pants off of him> Besides, I promise to let you sleep once I'm done with you.  <leans in to kiss him again>
[02:06] arynwyn: Dres: <think: I sense a trap... but do I care?; he climbs onto the bed, his pants falling to the floor, and pushes her down, pinning her arms above her head. he kisses down her neck and sucks on her skin, then, straddling her, begins to work on getting her naked. he tugs roughly at the thing she's wearing, almost rough enough to rip it, but... not quite. he tosses it onto the floor and kisses down her chest (pinning her arms again), his whiskers scratchy on her skin>
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: 
 Mya: <she stifles a giggle, then another, then can't stop.  Think: Argh...ruins the absolutely perfect mood, but I can't help it...>
[02:10] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and moves further south, pulling her arms down to keep them pinned next to her body. he turns his attention to between her legs>
[02:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <that stops the giggle fits dead, and replaces them with gasps for air.  She arches her back and attempts to pull her arms free, her hands balling into fists in the bedclothes>
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((normally Mya wouldn't giggle, but his whiskers tickle ^_^ ))
[02:14] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Does she like or not like the pinning down thing? ))
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ohhh she likes it))
[02:14] arynwyn: (( Mkay ))
[02:15] arynwyn: Dres: <pulls away and licks his lips, then slides up to kiss her hard as he pushes himself inside of her, repinning her arms up above her head>
[02:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <moans at the back of her throat, closing her eyes and wrapping her legs around him>
 
 ((I feel like there ought to be more to that....yet I can't think of anything else.  And Mya's not exactly in an introspective mode atm ^_~ ))
[02:17] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:18] arynwyn: Dres: <sets a quick pace, grunting quietly as he kisses and sucks on her neck roughly. it's been so long, he prays he can fight off his orgasm until she finishes>
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <her gasping moans get louder and more frequent until she suddenly seems to lose the ability to make noise, her body tensing up; even as she starts to relax again, she keeps her legs around him as encouragement>
[02:24] arynwyn: Dres: <lets out a final groan as he thrusts into her hard, a drop of sweat falling onto her chest. he pants a moment, then rolls off of her, letting her hands go. he closes his eyes and catches his breath>
[02:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <breathes heavily for a few moments, then rolls over to kiss his shoulder.  I'd say she was snuggling up against him....but Mya wouldn't say she was doing anything of the sort.  She's just...laying next to him, her hand on his chest.  Not snuggling, no, no>
[02:29] arynwyn: Dres: <wraps his arm around her and pulls her close, making her snuggle with him. he grins down at her, then lays his head back and closes his eyes again> ...so... tired... <huge yawn>
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Hmm...am I done with you or not....let me think...<trailing one finger along his chest slowly, tracing spirals and loops and circles along his skin; she kisses his neck and bites it briefly, not hard enough to draw blood>
[02:31] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and leans down to kiss her gently> If you give me a couple hours to sleep, then I can go all night. <bites her neck back>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> Don't make promises you can't keep....
[02:33] arynwyn: Dres: I'm not, Lovely. <nuzzles her ear> You'd be surprised some of the things I've learned, in Bloodwatchers and out. <quick kiss>
[02:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> Go to sleep then.  Get as much sleep as you need, because I doubt I'll let you out of bed when you wake up.
[02:34] arynwyn: Dres: And what will you do? <still holding her tightly> 
[02:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Watch you sleep.  Plot what to do with you when you wake up.  Maybe I'll put up more of a fight next time? <she grins and kisses his cheek> Perhaps, while you sleep, I'll just poke around your cabin and ferret out all your secrets...
[02:37] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> This isn't where I keep my secrets, Lovely. <his eyes closed, as he drifts off to sleep> I haven't taken you there yet... Maybe someday....
[02:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she smiles> I'd like that.  Sleep.  You're no good to me right now. <she kisses his forehead and finger combs his hair steadily>
[02:38] arynwyn: Dres: <obliges> ZzzZzzZzz...
[02:38] arynwyn: (( FF? To when? Or switch to Mal & Mai? ))
[02:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Either.  I like Dres.  I think he's my favorite of your guys thus far, and I was really fond of Ren. ^_^ ))
[02:40] arynwyn: (( Sweeeet. :-D ))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( Uhm... do you want to do more with the weekend? Or FF to Monday, when he's gunna take out the cousin? ))
[02:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm.  I'm pretty sure all Mya has planned for the weekend is, in fact, rampant sex.  She's still trying to figure out if she's doing this because her uncle said to or because she actually wants to, but she's not pushing it too hard.  Looking gift horse in mouth and all that....and she's not really trying to wriggle any secrets out of him.  Her only motivation, no matter why, is to get him fully, completely enamored of her.))
[02:45] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Then let's say mission accomplished, hm? <grin> ))
[02:46] arynwyn: (( Hm. How long are you gunna be on? )
[02:46] arynwyn: )0
[02:46] arynwyn: *))
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well I have class and work today.  >_<  I have to be up at....12:30 ish...and it's almost 3 now...I should try to go to sleep around 4:30, but I don't know how likely that's going to be ^_^; considering I didn't pull myself out of bed until 5:30 PM yesterday....))
[02:49] arynwyn: (( Hm... Okay, let me consult Tim. ))
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ... um okee?))
[02:50] arynwyn: (( he wants to watch a movie, but we're going to wait until you go to bed. =P ))
[02:50] arynwyn: (( so, Mal & Mai or Monday? And I need a sammich ))
[02:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't know when that'll be, honestly.  Go watch the movie now if he wants to.  >.> 'cause I'm not sleepy at all.))
[02:51] arynwyn: (( No, it's okay. I wanna RP now. >.> ))
[02:51] arynwyn: (( he's fine, he just wants to watch a movie at some point tonight, and I'm sure you'll go to bed before we do. ))
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I wanna RP too, but I also know that it may be 8, 9, 10 AM before I get sleepy and decide to nap before class.))
[02:52] arynwyn: (( well, I'll go before then. but for now, let's RP. ))
[02:52] arynwyn: (( if that's okay ))
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That's fine by me! :) ))
[02:53] arynwyn: (( okies. lemme make a sandwich quick and then we can get started. you decide what you wanna do. ))
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk - I gotta deal with laundry anyway.  I put it off ^_^ ))
[02:56] arynwyn: (( back ))
[02:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'll be in and out of the room while I fold shirts, but we can go ahead.  And my vote's for the killing.  Mmm blood.))
[02:57] arynwyn: (( <snerk> Kk ))
[02:59] arynwyn: <Dres wakes before dawn on Monday, slipping out of bed and changing into his gear quickly. he bends over and kisses Mya gently> Wake up, Lovely. We need to get back to the city. I need to be at my post by sunrise. You can sleep more once you're home. <nuzzles her hair>
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((stupid jeans in the washer were all tangled up in each other...))
 Mya: <wakes immediately, yawns and stretches> I can be ready in just a few minutes.  No point in brushing my hair before getting on a horse, after all....<sitting up and going to her bag for clothes>
[03:01] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I hate that. ))
[03:02] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and nods, then steps out into the main room to gather his things> I'll go get the horses ready. <he unlocks the door and steps outside into the chilly night air>
[03:03] arynwyn: (( <contemplates a sundae...> ))
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((go for the sundae - and I can hear AIM go off when you talk...when Joe's not arguing with his guild.  Which he is.  Again.  As usual. >.>))
[03:07] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. And alright. Got the sundae. :-D ))
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <pulls on slacks and a long sleeved blouse, tugging on her boots and swinging her cloak onto her shoulders.  She finishes packing up...and then notices a rather lacy undergarment peeking out from beneath his bed.  She picks it up and walks out of the bedroom, yawning again>
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We have too many black shirts.  I'm not even half way through folding this load and we still have another load of colored clothes to do...))
[03:08] arynwyn: Dres: <comes back in and takes her bag and picks up his own> Sorry there's no time for breakfast. <kisses her quickly>
[03:08] arynwyn: (( Heh, you sound like us. >.< Well, we have a lot of Army-colored crap too... ))
[03:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh> go fig ^_^ ))
[03:11] arynwyn: (( Yeah, who'd have guessed? =P ))
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: That's fine.  Here.  <presses the little lacy thing into his hand> Memento of the weekend.  Do keep it, I have simply tons of them....<grins and walks past him to her horse>
[03:12] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs and looks around for somewhere to stuff it; he finally just tosses it on the couch. he follows her out and helps her mount up, then climbs on his own horse> I hope that doesn't mean you won't be joining me two weekends from now?...
[03:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I'll have to check my schedule....but perhaps I can pencil you in. <she's still grinning at him as she kicks the horse and takes off for the city>
[03:17] arynwyn: Dres: <grins back and shakes his head, then starts off after her. they arrive back and he helps her dismount, but before he can even tie up the horses, a man breaks stealth and comes up to Dresden> 
 Man: <glances at Mya> What must be done must be done today.
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she arches an eyebrow but keeps quiet; this communique isn't for her.  She takes the reins from Dresden and sees to the horses for him>
[03:21] arynwyn: Dres: <nods his thanks to Mya and then has a quiet conversation with the man, who vanishes a few minutes later. Dres steps over to Mya and smiles, leaning down to kiss her gently, then saying quietly> By noon today, your sister will no longer be threatened. The man you saw will be watching you while I and Keira go take care of this cousin of yours.
[03:22] arynwyn: (( oooh, twist! Dres gets reassigned. >.> ))
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwww <Mya pouts>))
[03:23] arynwyn: (( Heh, they'd work something out. Worse comes to worst, they get married and have a kid. <snerk> ))
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Is he as good a kisser as you are? <mischevious grin>
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh>))
[03:24] arynwyn: Dres: <growls> You better not be finding that out. <he gives her a quick, crushing hug> I need to go. Keira is waiting for me. <kisses her hair>
[03:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I love it when I make you growl.  Go on.  You should never keep a woman waiting.  <pushes away and blows him a kiss>
[03:27] arynwyn: Dres: <watches her get safely inside, then takes off for the address of this cousin, where Keira is waiting. together they go up and knock on the door>
[03:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <After a short time, a man answers the door: he is not a servant.  There is a resemblance to Furon, but his face, though drawn and obviously not having seen much sleep, has seen fewer years than his older brother's.  He keeps his hands in the pockets of his wine colored robe.  He looks at them and nods> Is it possible that I can ask you to wait in the drawing room for just a moment?  I'd like to get my daughter and wife out of here; they shouldn't have to see this.
[03:33] arynwyn: Keira: I will wait there, but he <nodding to Dres> will follow you stealthed. Do not try to run. <she steps inside without being asked and looks around>
 Dres: <eyes the man over and steps in as well, then slips into stealth, hating that he's going to kill a member of Mya's family. Yes, one who was trying to get Ath killed, but still...>
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: <the man nods and says quietly> His room upstairs...second door on the right.  I will be quiet.  <he heads upstairs silently, goes past the second door on the right into a set of double doors at the end of the hall.  After a few moments, a woman comes out, looking confused and bed-tousled.  The man heads into a door across the hall from the one he indicated, and after a few more moments, another, younger woman comes out.  She does not look confused.  She stares at the door across from her room, then hangs her head.  Her father tries to put an arm around her, and she pulls away from him, heading downstairs on her own.  Instead he puts an arm around his wife and leads her downstairs after their daughter>
[03:37] arynwyn: (( His room upstairs? Huh? ))
[03:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The cousin they're here to kill.  His room's the second door on the right))
[03:38] arynwyn: (( oooh, gotcha. er... take off that "Don't try to run." thing. I thought that man was him. >.< ))
[03:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay.  Sorry, I didn't make that real clear.  That's his dad.))
[03:39] arynwyn: (( s'ok. ))
[03:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Furon told him someone was going to come for his son and why.  He understands....but it doesn't mean he has to like it))
[03:40] arynwyn: Keira: <watches the three people leave, then heads upstairs to the second door on the right, Dresden following after he makes sure the others are out of the way. she taps on it and waits>
[03:40] arynwyn: (( I was thinking it was an older cousin, so I just assumed... ))
[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He's younger than Ath; probably closer to Mya's age.))
 <there is no vocal response, but close listening picks up the sound of bedclothes rustling>
[03:43] arynwyn: (( ah, okay. wow. >.> ))
[03:43] arynwyn: Keira: <rolls her eyes and tries the doorknob>
[03:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((If he was older than Ath, he'd be the guy in charge anyway.))
 <the door opens.  There doesn't seem to be anyone in the room, though the window is open.  The curtains ruffle in the early morning air...as Paeron crouches, stealthed, behind the opening door, waiting with baited breath...and envenomed dagger> (so they can't see him till they get past the door and look around the whole room)
[03:46] arynwyn: (( oh, true. ))
[03:47] arynwyn: Keira: <looks around at the seemingly empty room> You want to do the honors, Dres? Looks like we got a runner. 
 Dres: <sighs and breaks stealth, then steps into the room to look around>
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <leaps for Dresden, covering his mouth with one hand and burying his dagger in Dres's side with the other; he stealths again and moves away, believing he can't be seen>
[03:51] arynwyn: Dres: <bites bite a cry of pain and pulls the dagger from his side, spinning around to look for the attacker>
 Keira: <calmly steps over to Paeron (sweet name, btw) and pulls her huge two-handed sword> I see you want to do this the hard way. <she puts the tip to his throat> Dres? You okay?
 Dres: <is searching his pouch for an anti-vemon, which he locates after a moment, then applies it to the wound> Fine. 
[03:51] arynwyn: *bites back
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <looks startled and backs away from the sword, believing that it's just a lucky guess that she knew where to aim the thing>
[03:53] arynwyn: Dres: <pulls his sword as well> May as well unstealth, it doesn't do you any good. 
 Keira: <steps forward to keep the blade against his skin, glaring at him with utter distaste>
[03:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <drops stealth> I don't understand...how could you...? <he raises his chin away from the point of the blade>
[03:55] arynwyn: Keira: Tricks of the trade. It's a pity, too. You're so young. <walking around him, looking him over> If I thought you could be trusted, I'd have you brought into the Bloodwatchers. But, seeing as how you've already injured one of my best men...
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: ...you call THAT <nodding to Dresden> one of your best?  That's sad.  Aileth could've taken him down, and I doubt she's ever had blood on those soft hands.
[03:58] arynwyn: Keira: <smirk> Shows what little you know, dear boy. Stand up. <taps the bottom of his chin with the flat of her blade> Face this like a man. You brought this upon yourself. 
 Dres: <quietly> You could, Keira. Put him through training, and if he doesn't pass, kill him then.
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <rises to his feet>  Brought what upon myself?  What have I done that concerns the two of you? I've never even seen you two before.
[04:04] arynwyn: Keira: <smirks again> It's amusing to me that you mentioned Aileth and her abilities, considering you hired out to have her killed. <keeping the tip of her sword against his throat> Did you think everyone was so stupid that they'd never figure out it was you? Honestly, from what I hear, it was easy enough to figure out.
[04:05] arynwyn: (( Heh, FYI, Keira is Furon's Protector. <giggle> ))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( Eh, no, that doesn't work. N/M ))
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <frowns> I suppose I aimed too low then.  He was too incompetent.  <sighs>  At least she hired very good assassins to take care of me.  Hell, at least she has the guts to do it.
 
 ((Awww, why doesn't it work?))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( You think he'd not notice someone following him around? Keira can't stealth... ))
[04:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah.  Then yeah good point.))
[04:07] arynwyn: Dres: We're not assassins. <sounds angry> We're Protectors. Hired by Prince Kael'thas himself to protect the families most loyal to him. And when you threaten our charges, you answer to us. And these. <holds up his sword> 
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: Why would the Prince give a shit about who'll eventually be running this family?  I'm loyal to the throne!  And I'm loyal enough to know that Aileth is too weak to lead this family, too soft.  She's not even...she...she's just all wrong.
[04:10] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> None of that concerns us. You threatened her, therefore you must be eliminated. 
 Keira: I was going to do this quickly, but then you injured Dres, here. So now, you get the painful version. <begins to bear down on him>
 
 (( He can speak up about joining if he wants to save his life... ))
[04:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((...yeah but I really just made him for this plotline. ^_^; ))
[04:11] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Fair enough. ))
[04:12] arynwyn: (( There's a trick question she would ask him though. <giggle> And he'd most likely get it wrong... ))
[04:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: Don't...don't do this....I...I'll do whatever you want, but don't do this...please....
[04:12] arynwyn: Keira: Begging? How unbecoming. <stabs him in the shoulder, a deep and painful wound, but nothing near enough to kill him>
[04:14] arynwyn: (( maybe I'll ask him anyway... ))
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh, go for it))
 Paeron: <cries out and falls to the floor>...don't...please...
[04:16] arynwyn: Keira: <sighs> Alright, how about this. A question. You answer correctly, I may spare you life, or I'll end it quickly. If you get it wrong, I draw out your death. <smirks down at him> You say you are loyal to the throne, but your loyalty to your family is questionable. We work for the throne, as we said. <she bends down and squats next to him> Tell us a family secret, one you swore never to tell.
[04:16] arynwyn: Keira: <leans in close> Answer carefully...
[04:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: ...we...we work for the throne.  We kill for the Prince.  We...do as we're told, always...always...
[04:18] arynwyn: (( That was worded so poorly. ))
[04:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((What was?))
[04:19] arynwyn: Keira: <looks over at Dresden, who seems unsurprised by this. she glares down at him and stabs him in the other shoulder> I said a secret. Don't toy with me.
[04:19] arynwyn: (( The whole loyalty thing. It didn't come across as I meant it to. ))
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <cries out> That...that's supposed to be a secret! No one outside the family knows except the Prince!  <tries to think through the pain>  What do you want?  Childhood gossip?  <crying from the pain>
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It came out fine! ))
[04:21] arynwyn: (( okay. ))
[04:22] arynwyn: Keira: <sighs and stands up> Doesn't matter. Secret or not, you failed the test. You swear not to tell something, you die without telling a soul. <to Dres> He'd be useless in Bloodwatchers. <she sheathes her sword> Finish him off. I'll be downstairs.
 Dres: <nods and steps over to the boy, looking down at him, his sword raised>
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <looks up at Dresden tearfully>
[04:24] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> Tears don't work on me, boy. <he glances back at where Keira left, then pulls a small vial out of his pocket. he tosses it down at the boy> Drink it. It'll be like going to sleep.
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <he looks at the vial and shakily sits up straighter.  He opens it and looks down at it and then back at Dresden> ...Aileth's that important?  one scrawny girl who'd disappeared once already?
[04:29] arynwyn: Dres: <looks down at him> She is the future head of the family. Yes, she's important. And she's stronger than you give her credit for. She lived on her own a year, didn't she? And besides, it doesn't matter who you tried to have killed. What matters is that you tried to have a protected person killed. Drink it or I'll stab you though.
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Paeron: <looks down at the vial, closes his eyes, puts his lips to it and takes it like a shot.  After a few moments, his body slumps, his arm falls and his hand releases the empty vial>
[04:32] arynwyn: Dres: <sighs and bows his head for a moment, then steps out of the room. he meets Keira downstairs, nods to her, then parts ways. he heads back to his post at Mya's house>
[04:34] arynwyn: (( very cinematic death, btw. ^^ ))
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is sitting on her doorstep.  She's wearing black, head to toe, but not her rogue gear: a full length black dress, mandarin collar, long sleeved, ankle length.  She has no cloak, but has her arms wrapped around herself as she leans against the stone, her eyes on the rising sun>
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((thankee))
[04:36] arynwyn: Dres: <walks up to her, smiling. he has his cloak pulled around to cover the wound, but it flaps, and if she looks close enough she can see blood. he gives a little bow> Hello, Lovely. I don't suppose I could bother you for a drink? Something strong?
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: That'd be good. <she stands>  But I'll let you pick, so we can end up someplace with something you'll actually like... <she smiles>
[04:39] arynwyn: Dres: <holds out his arm ( his right, for once, since he's wounded on the left ) and nods> I know just the place then.
[04:39] arynwyn: (( er.. ))
[04:39] arynwyn: <he leads her to a somewhat grungy pub where they seat themselves>
[04:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she notes the unusual arm choice but doesn't press> ...not quite what I would've pictured, but I'm sure you know best on this matter.
[04:41] arynwyn: Dres: I apologize. But the whiskey here is excellent. <think: The best for wounds...; he orders a whiskey when the waiter comes> Did you get back to sleep this morning?
[04:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she shakes her head> I may not be able to run around for weeks without sleep, but getting only a few hours once in awhile won't hurt me.  And word should be going out amongst the family soon.  <she sighs> I haven't told my sister any of this yet.  I'm not sure if I should or not.
[04:46] arynwyn: Dres: <nods slowly> I leave that up to you. It was interesting, to say the least. <the drinks arrive and he takes half the shot, then tries to surreptitiously dump the other half on his wound>
[04:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <watches this and then sighs> Perhaps I'm too dangerous for you.
[04:49] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I think not. It's just a scratch really. <though it's obviously not; he wipes his hands and then reaches across for hers, smiling> It's over now. Things will go back to normal, now. The threat has been eliminated. <he kisses her hand>
[04:49] arynwyn: (( Bleh, too many "now"s... ))
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: The "threat" shouldn't have given you so much trouble.  He is...was...good, but...to have hurt you that badly...
[04:51] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> I was stupid about it. I'm sure Keira suspected a trap and sent me in first. The window was open, no one appeared to be in the room. I stepped in, he lunged at me from behind the door. <he sighs and looks annoyed with himself> I was careless. 
[04:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Probably because you should've been resting more this weekend than you were.  <she looks around for a moment> ...so, now that there's no longer a threat to my sister, will you be re-assigned?
[04:53] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> It's a possibility. What would you do if I did?
[04:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well....I do know where you live.  For now, at least. <she smirks at him, folding her arms on the table and leaning forward just a little>
[04:56] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> But I'm only there every other weekend. And even that is iffy. Generally, well, until I met you, I stay at headquarters.
[04:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <tries not to frown, but a little of the teasing light goes out of her eyes> And I'm guessing I can't just walk into your HQ and ask the receptionist to let you know I'm there.
[04:58] arynwyn: Dres: <leans in closely, his voice low, smirking> If you were my wife, you could. 
[05:01] arynwyn: (( <pokety?>  Dres: <blink> Nevermind then. >.> ))
[05:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry was getting cereal and then was trying to tell Joe that he left something on in the living room but I couldn't tell what it was))
[05:01] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[05:02] arynwyn: (( Dres is panicking though. >.> ))
[05:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((everything is black on black on black!  I can't tell what's what on the entertainment center.))
[05:02] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow, and the teasing light comes back on> Oh, so if I just say I'm your wife, then I can get in, hm?
[05:04] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs and fishes in his pocket for a small jewelry box that he (just go with it >.>-) picked up on his way over to her house. he opens it and sets in on the table in front of her. it's white gold, and the rock is HUGE> No, you'd have to be able to prove it. <he pushes it toward her>
[05:04] arynwyn: *(just go with it >.>  )
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[05:04] arynwyn: (( stupid thing >.< ))
[05:05] arynwyn: *sets it
[05:06] arynwyn: (( and  no, I had not planned this proposal at all. <laugh> ))
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <doesn't SEEM impressed...she picks up the box and examines the ring> So this ring will gain me entry to HQ? <she gives up teasing him> I'd be lying if I said I wasn't...thrown a little off guard by this.  <she looks around and snaps the box shut, lest anyone decide they want to try and take it, but she cradles the box to her chest>
[05:08] arynwyn: Dres: <leans back and watches her for a moment> If you're keeping it, I'm taking that as a yes? <grin>
[05:08] arynwyn: *yes.
[05:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...my aunt will pitch an absolute fit if there isn't a proper wedding.
[05:09] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles a little and leans in> Forget what your aunt wants, Myanara. What do you want? A huge wedding? A small one? We could elope?
[05:10] arynwyn: *rawr, bolded the wrong one... *What do you want? 
[05:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Furon: He proposed after one weekend alone with you?  Whatever you did, teach it to the rest of the girls.  <pause> Including my wife.
 Mya: >_< Mental Images I Don't Need, Uncle...))
 
 Mya: I want a proper wedding as well...and NOT just to keep Aunt Selah quiet, though gods know the woman can shriek.  The real problem here is that we can't get married so soon after Paeron's death.  It will look tacky.  Even telling anyone other than Uncle Furon anytime soon would be...ill-advised.  <she ponders this> How does the idea of two weddings strike you?  The first being you, me, a priest and two witnesses; the next being a proper wedding with all my surviving family invited, a decent time after mourning Paeron's tragic death.
[05:14] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[05:15] arynwyn: Dres: <grins> I love how you think. <he scratches his stubble> I'll have to make a few arrangements with the brotherhood, but it shouldn't take over a week... How soon do you want to do the first? And who should our witnesses be? 
[05:17] arynwyn: (( Furon cracks me up. Seriously... <giggle> ))
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You provide one witness, and I'll provide the other.  That way there can be no question in anyone's mind that we were rightfully wed.  As for how soon...is it unseemly to say "as soon as it can be arranged"? <she smiles> There is an unfortunately tendency in the Duskblades for impatience.  We can be patient...but we don't like it.
 
 ((Really? ^_^; Just that one comment?))
[05:18] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Yeah. ))
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okay 'cause I was gonna say it's kind of an odd reaction to a man who's basically Don Corleone. ^_^ ))
[05:20] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I'm not very patient either. Obviously. I'll start working on my end today. I'll have someone else guard you for a while and go to speak to the head. I just need a couple of papers signed, my schedule rearranged... <think think ponder> Mmh. Might be able to speed things up to a couple of days. I'll have to tell my father, of course. He'll want to give me my property. <musing to himself>
[05:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((watching Alarm Cat again))
 Mya: Property?
[05:21] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:22] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> A house here in Silvermoon. Unless you wanted to live at your father's house? <smirk>
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> No, no.  My place is with my husband, after all. <smiles>  And I like this idea of "speeding things up".  Should we bother with proper wedding dress and tux and all that for the private wedding?
[05:24] arynwyn: Dres: <looks indecisive> You choose. I hate tuxes, but I want things to be perfect for you. 
[05:25] arynwyn: Dres: Plus, you look stunning when you dress up. <grin.
[05:25] arynwyn: >
[05:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> Well, why don't we dress up but save the actual wedding regalia for the proper version, hm?  That way you don't have to wear a tux twice.
[05:26] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> A dress robe then? <fights making a face> Or a suit?
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You should wear...<ponder ponder think think>...whatever is easiest to get you out of later. <grin>
[05:27] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I'll wear something nice. A dress shirt and slacks, perhaps. 
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: More to the point, Uncle: after one weekend alone with me, he's got me ready and more than willing to accept an out-of-the-blue proposal.
 Furon: Hmm, good point.  Perhaps I should be asking him for pointers then....))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( <snerk> ))
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: That will suffice, I'd think. <she grins> I'd love to put this on now <nodding to the box she's holding>, but...sadly I won't be able to show it off to the world until later.  The second wedding will take some time.  I'll announce the engagement a week, maybe two, after Paeron's funeral, and then we can just sit back and let Aunt Selah do most of the work.
[05:29] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Understandable. Oh, hm. When to take you to headquarters. You'll have to meet the head of the order, of course....
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Is he as good a kisser as you are? <giggles>
[05:31] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs> I wouldn't know. And I hope you never find out. <growls quietly>
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Mmm, more growling.  <she pats one of his hands>  So I get the feeling you're going to be one of those terribly possessive husbands? <sighs as if distressed>
[05:32] arynwyn: Dres: <slips out of his booth and over into hers, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close> You know it.  <he kisses her neck and bites at it gently>
[05:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Did I send you the Happiness Hotel AMV?))
[05:33] arynwyn: (( No. )0
[05:33] arynwyn: ))
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> Just as well.  I'm not going to look kindly on the thought of you with some other woman either.  Another little family trait, that.
[05:34] arynwyn: Dres: Women? There are other women in the world? I was unaware. <grins and kisses her deeply> 
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <kisses him back with equal...er...depth? and then smiles at him> Good answer.  Keep that up and your ability to get into my pants will not be impeded. <she ruffles his hair>
[05:36] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and pulls away> I should get you back home, then get over to headquarters and start on all this. Are you going to tell Aileth about your cousin?
[05:37] *** arynwyn has received Ranma - Happiness Dojo.avi.
[05:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmm, to send you the yaoi video of doom or not.....<ponder ponder>))
 Mya: I don't know.  She should know he was plotting against her, but I think that for now at least, the rest of this is...unnecessary.
[05:38] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Sure. ))
[05:39] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and holds out his arm for her> Probably wise. Though, you know, she's going to be the head of the family one day. It might not be wise to keep her too sheltered.
[05:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's not entirely yaoi - some of the "couples" in it are just fan pairings.  Like when Gourry & Zelgadis show up on screen <shudder> Ugh, so wrong.  Gourry belongs with Lina, damnit! <cough clear throat> Not that I'm biased.  But anyway...there is quite a bit of actual...er...well...goings on going on in the video, just as a warning.  Also, I can no longer hear the song in the video without thinking about pretty boys going at it.))
[05:41] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Go ahead and send it to me, but I'm not gunna watch it while Tim's around. ))
[05:42] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Cute! ))
[05:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <accepts his arm> She will be the head of the family...decades from now.  And she does have strengths in that area that I do not, but she has not had the training I have had.  I am to Aileth what the Duskblades are to the Prince.  I am here to do her dirty work.  And most of this...if she had not been taken from us for a year, had not gone through what she has, I might tell her.  She's still adjusting to things again.
[05:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah Joe walked in on this video once.  he just sort of sighed and walked back out again.))
[05:45] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and kisses her cheek> I understand. <he walks her home, slowly> I'll be gone a few hours. It shouldn't, I hope, take too long to meet with the head. He's a busy man, but in a matter such as marriage, he makes time. 
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'd hope so.  And it's just as well; we have family business to see to now, after all.
[05:47] arynwyn: Dres: <sighs as he remembers the boy> Such a shame, really. He was good at what he did. <he lifts up his armor and looks at the wound> 
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sniffs haughtily> Our family has produced better.  On many levels.
[05:49] arynwyn: Dres: <kisses her cheek> I know. Look at you. But still. He was so young. <shakes his head> Keira momentarily entertained the idea of taking him into the brotherhood, but she didn't think she could trust him.
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Obviously not.  Power struggles are one thing; they crop up now and again in any family or organization where power is worth having.  But to actively seek the death of a family member?  Inexcusable.  Unforgiveable.
[05:51] arynwyn: Dres: I agree. <as they arrive at her house> That's what I had to keep telling myself. I gave him the coward's way out though. Cyanide. <leads her up to her door>
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: He didn't deserve anything more honorable. <she turns to face him and speaks formally>  I thank you on behalf of my uncle for what you've done for our family and for my sister specifically.  <she curtsies>
[05:53] *** arynwyn has received Various Yaoi - What's This.mpg.
[05:53] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and bows deeply> All in a days work, Miss Duskblade. <he kisses her hand> I couldn't have such lovely young women in danger, now could I? What kind of heartless man would I be?
[05:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles> The kind who was only following orders in the first place?  <she kisses him quickly then heads back inside>
[05:55] arynwyn: Dres: <returns the kiss and watches her go, then starts off toward headquarters>
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so now vaht?  FF? are you going to watch movie with the Timmy?))
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Timmeh!))
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry just had to say it))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( sec ))
[05:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[06:00] arynwyn: (( ugh... guess I'm staying on. what do you want to do? ))
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((why for ugh?))
[06:01] arynwyn: (( 'cause I'm causing problems again. ))
[06:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You're...causing problems again? by asking if he's up for a movie?))
[06:02] arynwyn: (( <sigh> I should go, probably. But he asked if I'd rather stay on here or watch a movie, and I'd rather stay on here.&nbsp;-))
[06:02] arynwyn: (( no. ))
[06:03] Chaos Angel Sox: <sigh> I feel sort of torn between "You should be able to do what you want" and "Eh watch the movie and placate him."
 
 I am starting to head towards sleepy, but it'd probably be at least an hour before I can actually sleep.
[06:04] arynwyn: <sigh>
[06:04] arynwyn: I just know, too, that I'm going to spend the day with him tomorrow, since I have to get up to call UND, and he doesn't work, and you're gone.
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ...um, is spending the day with your hubby a bad thing?
[06:06] arynwyn: No, not at all. I just mean that I'm going to spend the day with him tomorrow, so is watching a video now that big of a deal? though most of the day will be spent cleaning. >.<
[06:07] arynwyn: Eh, I should watch it with him or I'm going to feel really guilty.
[06:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Probably not, but on the other hand, offered the choice between chatting online and spending time with a person who's actually right there next to you, you chose the person miles and miles away >.> 
[06:07] Chaos Angel Sox: and miles and miles and miles ^_^;
[06:07] arynwyn: I know. =(
[06:07] arynwyn: I'm a sad person, aren't I?
[06:07] Chaos Angel Sox: You're depressed - of course you're sad.
[06:08] arynwyn: Well, I'm going to go then... <sigh>
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles> I'll be around after work, as usual. :) And then there can be more fun RP.  
[06:08] arynwyn: <huggles> Mkay. Have a good day.
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Hopefully the movie's good.  
 take care, sleep well and have fun with...er...cleaning >.>
[06:09] arynwyn: Heh, oh yeah. >.<
[06:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugs>

[22:00] arynwyn: Jen?
[22:00] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: Shh! The Socks is sleeping!
[22:37] Chaos Angel Sox: breadsticks are in the oven
[22:37] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Doin' some other stuffs. Eating or chillin' with the husband. 
[22:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ready when you are. mmm food.
[22:55] arynwyn: Dres: Rawr?
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles Dresden>
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles the Sarah>
[22:55] arynwyn: Dres: <huggles> Me: <huggles>
[22:55] arynwyn: Food in the oven. Did the dishes (finally).
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Woo!
[22:56] arynwyn: Called the school and mailed off my request for readmission. 
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Double woo!
[22:56] arynwyn: Yay me.
[22:56] arynwyn: Now I demand the RP! :-D
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: <confetti & balloons>
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O Yes ma'am! <salute>
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Brian tried to order me to feel better.  I told him I wasn't a civilian.
[22:56] arynwyn: Well, I mean... If you want.
[22:56] arynwyn: <LOL>
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: *was a civilian
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: yeesh
[22:57] arynwyn: Ah, gotcha.
[22:57] arynwyn: <giggle>
[22:57] arynwyn: Is he an officer?
[22:57] arynwyn: Is he in the military? >.>
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: <shrugs> he seems to think he's an officer, ordering people around ^_~  And he's an engineer in the Navy.
[22:57] arynwyn: <laugh> kk
[22:57] arynwyn: He probably is. You're an officer if you've gone to college.
[22:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Probably.  he did tell me there were 2 people above him.
[22:58] arynwyn: sometimes when Tim gets bossy I say, "Yes sir!" and he always says, "Don't call me sir. I work for a living."
[22:58] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs>
[22:58] arynwyn: <giggle>
[22:58] Chaos Angel Sox: "Sir? I work for a living, airman.  You see these stripes?  What does three up and three down mean to you?"
 "End of an inning?"
[22:58] arynwyn: <laugh>
[22:59] arynwyn: Okay, so... there's one thing Mai needs to do before they can get back and have the whole fiasco with Taena. It's very short, though.
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggleses> was fun day?
[22:59] arynwyn: <huggles> Slept most of it.
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> You know I'm reading through our AIM logs and every time you say "very short" it never is ^_~  But that's okay 'cause I don't have a problem with that.
[23:00] arynwyn: <snerk> Okies.
[23:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm awake really.  What's going on?
 Back to work, boy.
 Mal: Oh right, got it.
[23:00] arynwyn: <giggle>
[23:01] arynwyn: Mai: Ready when you are! (( Methinks this should be the next morning. After the Festival. ))
[23:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Oooo that sounds promising....((sure, that'll work.  who's waking up first?))
[23:02] arynwyn: (( Uhm. I think Mai will already be awake, if you want to start with Mal. :-D ))
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[23:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <stirs and blinks awake>
[23:04] arynwyn: Mai: <rolls over and lays her head on his chest, smiling up at him. she's been awake for the past half an hour, thinking> Finally awake?
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Did I keep you waiting, princess?  I'm sorry.
[23:06] arynwyn: Mai: <leans up to kiss him gently> I woke up early. It's alright. <she nuzzles his neck> Sleep well, at least?
[23:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Very.  <kissing her>  Mmm, slept very well.  'Course now we're probably late hitting the road... <starts to sit up with a sigh>
[23:09] arynwyn: Mai: <sits up too> Hey Mal?... <she pulls him back to her and nuzzles his hair> I've been thinking... Can I ask you to promise me something?
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Depends what the promise is.  If you're asking me to promise to stop loving you for example...can't do that.
[23:12] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> No, it's nothing like that. More the opposite, I suppose. I guess it's kind of a question... one I hope will end in you promising me something. <she's blushing lightly> Are you ever going to... leave me?
[23:13] arynwyn: (( Heh, this is setup for when Taena freaks out. 'Cause, you know, Mai has been "abandoned" by everyone else... why not Mal too? ))
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks at her directly and cups her face with her hands> I've no intention of ever ever doing such a thing.  The very idea...repulses me.
[23:15] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at him for a long moment> Is that a promise?
[23:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It's an oath.  And one I won't violate for a night, for an hour, for a minute even.  Well...maybe for a minute; I mean, I don't think you want to watch me go to the bathroom...
[23:18] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles a little, then kisses him again> Thank you. <she lets him go> So, we're back on the road today?
[23:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Yeah.  I know you like it here, but if I don't bring you back like I said I would....<grimaces>
[23:20] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and bows her head> Okay. I'll go get packed up. <she gives him a quick hug and crawls out of bed>
[23:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <watches her, smiling softly> I love you.  Every part of you, especially the parts I can't touch.  Not that I have any problem with the parts I can...
[23:25] arynwyn: Mai: <turns around and returns the smile, blushing faintly> I love you too. <she steps over and touches his cheek> Come on. Let's get back home. <begins to dress quickly in her dress, since she doesn't want to try and get to her room naked>
[23:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs, gets out of bed and helps her get the dress fastened, then kisses her shoulder, her neck, her cheek and her lips, in that order> Yeah, sooner I take you home, the sooner I'm released from my oath, and the more I can be around you. <kiss> I can show you where I live in Eversong when we get back.
 
 ((Mal: It's just a little cabin in the woods.  Have a neighbor of sorts, but he's a few miles away.... <grin>))
[23:28] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:30] arynwyn: Mai: <returns the kisses, lingering on his lips, not wanting to be parted from him> Sounds wonderful. I could show you mine too, but... <shifts a little> I'm not sure it's healthy for me to go there. When I left, I was still in my addictive state and I'm sure there's a lot of... stuff there I shouldn't be around.
[23:31] arynwyn: (( When we're done here, we can do the morning sickness/missing of the period thing. That should be interesting. >.> ))
[23:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shrugs> But if you're showing it to me, then I'll be right there with you. <kiss> Go on, pack up. <playful swat on the rear and a smile>
[23:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Mal: o_O ))
[23:32] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and sticks her tongue out at him, then slips out of the room. he can hear her open her door, and see her through the fireplace if he looks, changing and packing up>
[23:32] arynwyn: (( Oh! Spring! Daisies! :-D ))
[23:32] arynwyn: (( so... a few weeks later? or are we RPing the leaving thing? ))
[23:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not necessary to RP that.  Verona and Gronen give them both hugs, stock them up on supplies, tell them they're both welcome whenever and shove them out the door. :) ))
[23:33] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk ))
[23:33] arynwyn: (( so... one morning a few weeks later.... ))
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <breaking down camp>
[23:34] arynwyn: Mai: <is packing up her bedroll and shoving other things into her bag. she doesn't look so good this morning: pale, slightly sweaty, a little green... she suddenly stumbles out into the woods and retches>
[23:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mairen?  <he goes after her, and rubs her back soothingly as he walks up to her> Princess, you okay?  See, this is why I shouldn't cook...
[23:37] arynwyn: Mai: <wipes at her mouth after she finishes, offering him a small smile> 'm okay. I... I don't think it was your cooking. <she stands shakily> Are we anywhere near a town or post? I think I need to see a priest. 
[23:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <frowns and thinks> I don't think there's one at the Crossroads...we're about equidistant from backtracking to Splintertree and pressing on to Orgrimmar.  Few days' travel either way.  In the meantime, let me see what's around here.  There're a few herbs that'll help with nausea.
[23:41] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and says quietly, almost to herself> Backtracking isn't an option... <she heads back toward camp to finish packing up>
[23:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <goes to herb gather, then returns to camp> Take one of these leaves at a time - and Not More than one - and just leave it in your mouth to sort of suck on until the flavor's gone, okay?  Trust me, you'll know when the flavor's gone; sad to say it doesn't taste like honey-glazed ham or walnut & apple bars.  But, it should ease your stomach upset.  <he brushes her hair out of her face> And you let me know if you need to stop and rest, any time, okay?  I'd rather get there a day, a week, a month late than not get there at all.
[23:47] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and tucks all but one of the leaves in her pouch, then sticks the other in her mouth. a few minutes later, she's feeling much better> Thanks Mal. That helped a lot. Shall we get started then?
[23:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> Yeah, let's get going.  <he walks closer to her than normal, occasionally glancing at her in concern>
[23:50] arynwyn: (( Uhm... we going to do this a few more days? Or FF? Is she going to be able to see a priest or is she going to have to surmise herself? ))
[23:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We can move to the priest in Org.  I wanna be there when Mal hears the news.  'course I still don't know how he's going to react...))
[23:52] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Okies. To Org it is. She's been throwing up off and on, walking slower than normal... eating more than normal, etc. ))
[23:52] arynwyn: (( I'm not sure how Mairen is going to react. >.> ))
[23:54] Chaos Angel Sox: <The guards direct them to the priests in the Valley of the Spirits (I think?)>
 Troll Priest: What da problem, mon?
[23:54] arynwyn: (( Sure, why not. ))
[23:54] arynwyn: Mai: <glances at Mal> Uhm, can I do this alone, Mal?...
[23:55] arynwyn: (( eh, n/m ))
[23:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((n/m?))
[23:55] arynwyn: Mai: <bows her head and lists off her symptoms>
[23:55] arynwyn: (( Including the missed period. ))
[23:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Troll Priest: <chuckles heartily and leans in to ask Mai in a whisper> You been havin' da good times with some boy?  Mebbe boy over here, yeah?
[23:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pace worry look concerned>
[23:56] arynwyn: Mai: <turns crimson and whispers back> Just one night. You don't think...?
[23:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Troll Priest: <casts a brief spell on her, closing his eyes, then nods> Oh yeah mon.  Bun in dat oven for sure.  <this is said at normal volume>
 Mal: <turn, blink blink> ... ... ...what?
[23:58] arynwyn: Mai: <still crimson, she blinks a few times, then sinks to the floor> Bun?... Oven?...
[23:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <goes over to Mai's side> Princess?
 Priest: Just one time all it take sometime.  Not far 'long though.  Still have options, mon.
 Mal: <pets Mai's hair> ...Mairen?
[00:00] arynwyn: Mai: <kind of wide-eyed, she looks up at him> Mal?... <sounds a little panicked> There's an oven in the bun?
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: <laughs>
 Mal: You're pregnant, yes.  <kisses her forehead and continues stroking her hair> I...had no idea I was that potent. 
 Priest: <laughs harder>
[00:02] arynwyn: Mai: <grasps his hand tightly and takes a deep breath> Okay. Okay. ... ... ... What do we do?
[00:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Whatever you want.  I...I won't say I'm not completely blindsided by this, but...I love you.  The idea of having a child with you isn't exactly horrible to me.
[00:05] arynwyn: Mai: <nods... then nods again> Okay. So we keep it. <pause> We're going to have a baby. <another pause> Am I fit to travel? 
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: Shouldna be a problem.  How bad da vomitin'?
[00:07] arynwyn: Mai: About... once or twice a day. It's... it's nothing I can't handle... <whispers to herself> I'm going to have a baby...
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: <ponders> How far you got to travel, mon?
 Mal: Eversong Woods.
 Priest: You do well to find fastest ways back.  No horse ridin' though; she fall, it be bad for baby.
 Mal: We'll take the Zeppelin to Undercity and...and use the translocation orb.  Okay, Mai?
[00:10] arynwyn: Mai: In.. In the Spire?... <takes a deep breath and nods> Yeah. Okay. <she struggles to her feet and gives the troll a small bow> Thank you.
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: Ya be seein' a priest in Silvermoon straight away and for reg'lar checkups, especially ya vomitin' every day.  Ya got...maybe 'nother month or two 'fore ya out of options, and methinkin' baby may be...hard on ya.
 Mal: Thank you.  <offers some coin>
 Priest: <waves it away> Ya save it for da baby.
 
[00:14] arynwyn: Mai: <turning back to the priest> ...hard on me? What do you mean?...
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: Mornin' sickness every day bad juju.  Methinkin' may be hard pregnancy, lots illness, maybe hard birth.  Don' think it dangerous...yet.  Just...not easy.
[00:15] arynwyn: (( Ugh. Tim is watching some kind of wrestling/kick boxing thing. ~_~ ))
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[00:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Good thing ya be havin' troll ta talk ta, yeah?))
[00:17] arynwyn: Mai: <goes to Mal and clings to him tightly> Mal?... You don't... hate me, do you?...
[00:17] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Yep! ))
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You know, I remember (re-reading our logs) that the Dawnfury family is also one with a long history of loyalty to the throne.  I'll bet Keira already knows about her sister's engagment.  Also, we gotta get Char and Jaes married. >.> ))
[00:17] arynwyn: (( I'm sure she does. But, thing about Keira is, since she joined Bloodwatchers, she doesn't... associate with her real family much. ))
[00:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwww. ;__; ))
[00:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Hate you?  <holding her and rubbing her back> Why in the world would I hate you?  HOW could I hate you?
[00:19] arynwyn: (( Hehe. She's pretty important in Bloodwatchers and it keeps her busy. She'll attend weddings but she's going in her armor. <giggle> Dres: Keira? In a dress? Hah. ))
[00:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh>))
[00:19] arynwyn: Mai: <takes a deep breath and nods> Just... just making sure. And... you don't hate the baby, right?...
[00:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: No, no...how could I hate the baby? <he kisses her quickly> I'm not upset, I'm not mad.  We just have to get you back to the pretty house, get....<pause, looks up at the priest, then looks back to Mai and whispers> I want to ask him if your recovering from magic addiction will have any affect on the pregnancy.  Is that okay?
[00:24] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I... I thought we should. Go ahead. <bows her head and turns back to the priest>
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks to the priest> She's...recovering from magic addiction.  
 Priest: <laugh> She blood elf, yeah?  'Course she is.
 Mal: No, I mean worse than that.  Could that have an effect? (('cause I used the wrong "affect" before))
 Priest: <muse> Maybe.  May be why she so sick with baby.  She got moonwell water?
 Mal: <nods> As do I.
 Priest: She be needin' it.  No bloodthistle, mana potion, none-a that.  Moonwell water only thing safe for baby.
 Mal: ...<pulls out his flask> Would this be enough?  Or twice this much?
 Priest: Depend how bad she want the voodoo.
[00:29] arynwyn: Mai: ...the voodoo? What does that mean? <still clinging to Mal>
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: Da magics.  How bad you want it?
 Mal: ....does that mean she shouldn't cast spells?
 Priest: Make da wantin' da voodoo worse, yeah?  Dat be bad.
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((should be da voodoo.  argh local color))
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And I really didn't think of any of this before just a little bit ago. >.>))
[00:32] arynwyn: Mai: Okay. So, the same things I've been doing. Or... not doing. Do I need to drink the moonwell water once a day or anything? I've just been drinking it when I feel the urge for magic...
[00:32] arynwyn: (( Hehe, no worries. ^^ ))
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: <nods> When ya be wantin' da voodoo, drink da water.  Don' be tryin' ta be too strong.  You need da voodoo, drink da water.  
 Mal: Will that help ease the pregnancy and birth?
 Priest: Can't hurt.  Bloodthistle, mana potions - dose be hurtin'.  Bad for baby - come out more addicted than already is.
 Mal: <pauses and thinks, petting Mai's hair>
[00:37] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and keeps her head bowed> Thank you. <looks up at Mal> Is there anything else?
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Maybe you should go back.  To the Sanctuary.  I can write to your family, tell them what's going on and how to find us there...
 Priest: Sanctuary? What be dis?
 Mal: Friends.  Druids.  It's where we just came from - and where we got the moonwell water.
 Priest: Access to moonwell nice.  Most important: she be comfortable.  She travel now; maybe not later.  She need priest reg'lar.
 Mal: Her sister's a priest.
[00:41] arynwyn: Mai: <chews on her bottom lip> But you would still go back to Eversong? I don't want to be without you. I'd rather take my chances with what moonwell water we have. As long as I'm with you, I know you won't let me... <trails off with a glance at the troll>
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm not leaving you.  We'll write them while we're here and then head back to the Sanctuary.  I'll write Verona while we're here too, so she knows we're turning back.  They make weekly trips to Splintertree Post to get mail. <he sighs and thinks> I'll have to write my houses, but most of them will understand.
 Priest: She have moonwell, priest and be comfy, dat da best place.  How long it take ya get there?
 Mal: Umm...month, month and a half?
 Priest: Eh, maybe okay.  Sooner she not goin' cross-country, better.
 Mal: Would wind-rider be okay?
 Priest: <think> So long as she no fall off.
 Mal: <rolls his eyes> That goes without saying.
[00:46] arynwyn: (( So they're going back to the Sanctuary? ))
[00:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh. Um.  yeah.  But I'd bet Taena'll come there with Rav. >.> ))
[00:47] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> Thought as much. And there's a priest at the Sanc? ))
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No.  But if Rav shows up there will be. ^_^;; ))
[00:47] arynwyn: Mai: I... You know I love the Sanctuary. <she nods> As long as you're coming back with me, then okay. I'd rather birth a baby there anyway. <soft smile> 
[00:47] arynwyn: (( Gotcha. =P ))
[00:49] arynwyn: (( In Family Guy, about the FCC: "They'll make you call fellacio a trouser-friendly kiss." <LOL> ))
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I swore to you I'm not leaving you.
 Priest: Aww, da happy couple!!  Ya stay here tonight, leave tomorrow, yeah?
 Mal: Don't want to put anyone out...
 Priest: It no problem, mon!  She be havin' a baby!  We be celebratin', yeah?
 Mal: Should...she be drinking?
 Priest: No.  No reason we can' be, yeah?
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh> okay that's good))
[00:51] arynwyn: Mai: <pouts a little> Hey... <chuckles a little> You two can drink if you'll find me some smoked salmon and a box of chocolates... <grin>
[00:51] arynwyn: (( There were others, but that was the best. <giggle> ))
[00:54] arynwyn: (( Bleh.... did "a little" twice. >.< ))
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: On it.  <smiles>
 Priest: Come on, elf lady.  We find ya nice lounge.  Ya be queen o' the night, and we drink in ya honor.  In da baby's honor, yeah? 
 Mal: I'll be right back. <kisses her and helps her up>  I promise.  Your devoted knight will ride forth and fetch you your snacky goodness. <smiles>
 Priest: <laughs> "Devoted knight"! Dat's good.  No, really, is good.  Ladies be needin' knights nowadays. 
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((nowadays came out "nowadawys" three times...))
[00:55] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles and returns the kiss> I'll be here. Oh <to the troll> do you have parchment? If not, <to Mal> you'll need to pick some up. I don't think we have any.
[00:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL> Joe's yelling at his guild leader again...and Murphy chooses that time to get in Joe's lap.  And Joe just continues to gesture and yell around the cat in his lap.))
[00:56] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:57] arynwyn: (( Why doesn't Joe start his own guild?! ))
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Priest: We get ya some.  And ink.  Noooo worries dere.
 Mal: Thank you. <ducks out to retrieve said snacks>
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: (( >.> ....for some reason, I have trouble picturing that. ))
[00:57] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles shyly at the troll> Thank you. You're very kind. <she holds out her hand> Mairen Truedawn.
[00:57] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Mkay. ))
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Troll priest: Rok'tari of da Darkspear Tribe, Truedawn ma'am.  We be takin' good care of ya tanight.  Needs ta start t'inkin' of names, yeah?  We do dat tanight...just..uh...be t'inkin' twice 'fore ya take a name a buncha drunk trolls come up with, yeah? <grins and takes her hand, leading her over to a lounge so she can stretch out>
[01:03] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles quietly and nods> Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Or is it too early to tell? <she sits down gratefully and leans back with a contented sigh> 
[01:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: Oh be far too early for dat.  <pats her stomach carefully> And, case ya change ya mind, ya got a month or so 'fore ya can safely...be wit'out baby, yeah?  But ya don' change ya mind, two or three months, should be able ta tell boy or girl den.  What ya be wantin'?
[01:08] arynwyn: Mai: <wraps her arms around her stomach protectively> I could never... never get rid of it. <shakes her head> I don't suppose I have a preference of a boy or girl. Well, maybe a girl... <soft smile> But I'll be happy with either, of course. I wonder what Mal wants?...
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: <chuckles> He took dat well.  I seen men go stare-y and weak-kneed, dey find out dey girl preggers.
[01:11] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles a little> Like me, hm?
[01:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: Yeah, well, most women be surprised.  Dat pretty normal.  He jump right into daddy mode.  Ya keep dat one, hm?
[01:13] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> I'm doing my best. I made him promise not to leave me. <laughs softly> That was before the baby, even. The... morning after our night of fun, actually.
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: <laughs> Some fun, yeah?  But why just deh one night?  He like ya nuff ta be ya knight and be daddy, why only deh once with deh heavy breathin'?
[01:17] arynwyn: Mai: <slowly turning crimson> Before we left to go to the Sanctuary, we hardly knew each other. He promised my family to protect me from everything, including himself. We only had that one night because of the Midwinter Festival, when all oaths are forsworn. It's rather ironic that this happened, really.
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I reply to your email! Ha!))
[01:18] arynwyn: (( sweeeeet. :-D ))
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: <laughs> Ah I see.  Now dat Festival over, he back under oath ta keep ya chaste.  Oopsie on deh one t'ing do' (though).  <looks at her> It worth it?
[01:21] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Yes. I think so. I hope he does too. We love each other, so... I think eventually we would have a baby together. The timing is a little off, but that's okay. <hugging her tummy> It's not the baby's fault.
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "In keeping with the Japanese traditional of 
 
 ensuring that all females are constipated all the time..."))
[01:22] arynwyn: ((??))
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I signed up for updates from a website that has lots of Japanese stuff.  The update emails (2 to 3 times a week) also have little tidbits about Japanese culture in them, written by an American who moved to Japan to teach English, married a Japanese woman and now has kids.  He also is in charge of the website...but anyway - the emails are really interesting just for these little insights he gives.))
[01:23] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Rok'tari: <nods> Dat be true.  
 Mal: <in doorway, panting> You wouldn't beLIEVE how hard it is to find smoked salmon around here.  And that was easy compared to the box of chocolates.  <crosses to the lounge, gets down on one knee, bows his head and offers up two boxes> For you, my princess.
 Rok'tari: <laughs> Okay.  Booze easier ta find.  We be right back, den be startin' deh party.
[01:27] arynwyn: Mai: <sits up> Mal! <she takes the food> My Knight! <giggles and kisses him gently> Thank you.
[01:30] arynwyn: (( oh, I meant to say. <huggles> Sorry you're not feeling  well. =(   ))
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: You're welcome. <nuzzle>  I'll write the letters tonight, tomorrow we'll put them in the mail and then fly to Splintertree Post.  It won't take long from there to get back to the Sanctuary; hell, we could wait for the mail run and go back with them, if you want.
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heh, thanks.  sleep and food helped.))
[01:31] arynwyn: (( wait for the mail run and go back with who? huh? )0
[01:31] arynwyn: *))
[01:32] arynwyn: (( oh, wait for Rav and Tae to get to Splintertree? ))
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((The druids at the Sanctuary make a mail run to Splintertree once a week-ish...in the sense that 7 days after the last mail run returns, another's sent out (it takes most of a week to get there >.>).))
[01:34] arynwyn: (( Oh, okay. So wait for the Druids to come to Splintertree and go back with them? ))
[01:35] arynwyn: Mai: <shrugs a little> It doesn't really matter, I suppose. We could go on ourselves. Unless you just wanted to wait in Splintertree.
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods>))
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: We'll see how you're doing.  I'm not risking you or the baby, not for anything.  <soft kiss>
[01:37] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and kisses back gently> Good. 
[01:37] arynwyn: (( so, are we RPing the "party" or FFing? ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> We can FF.  You seen one bunch of drunk trolls, you seen 'em all.....))
[01:38] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[01:38] arynwyn: (( kk, so... when they arrive at the Sanc? Or... when Rav & Tae arrive? ))
[01:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm.  I'd say when Rav & Tae arrive.  Verona & Gronen'll be glad to have them back, and they'll take extra good care of her: no chores, meditation three times a day still at the moonwell for now, but Verona's already said she'll meditate with Mai in her room if she ends up bedbound, Gronen's making her a special diet that's still very tasty, and Mal's getting a lot of teasing.))
[01:40] arynwyn: (( Aww. <3  I wanna live at the Sanctuary! ))
[01:40] arynwyn: ((  mkay... you're RPing Tae, right? >.> ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Even with the massive amount of chores that are normally required? And yeah I'll do Tae.))
[01:41] arynwyn: (( Yes, I wouldn't mind that. Purpose, y'know? ))
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<chuckles> Yeah well, I'm really bad at self-discipline myself. >.>))
[01:42] arynwyn: (( Me too. But at a place like that, it's required. ))
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You bet it is.  So is it just Rav & Tae?  I was assuming Ren'd stay home with the kids, but maybe I shouldn't be assuming that?))
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((also: cat on head))
[01:43] arynwyn: (( Yeah, Ren would stay behind... As long as Rav didn't necessarily want him to come. He's keeping busy with Chief Warlock stuff too... ))
[01:43] arynwyn: (( And we need to RP Damien & Xen sometime. >.> ))
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh> Yeah.  so many charas....))
[01:43] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Yeah. ))
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have head kittens; I must report to the nurse))
[01:44] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[01:44] arynwyn: (( <goes to watch Alarm Cat again> ))
[01:46] arynwyn: (( He said in the letter that she was preggers, yes? ))
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep.))
[01:46] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[01:50] Chaos Angel Sox: <About two weeks after Mal & Mai arrive back at the Sanctuary, Suravi and Taena show up.  Mal goes out to meet them.  He smiles at Suravi, who smiles in return, and moves to introduce himself to Taena>
 Mal: <holding his hand out for a handshake> You must be Taena.  I'm...
 Tae: The asshole who can't keep his hands to himself.
 Rav: Taena!
 Mal: <withdraws his hand> ... ... ...
 Rav: Where is she?  Is she okay?
 Mal: Oh, yeah, come on in.  <leading them in> She's upstairs in her room; we try to keep her there when she's not at the hot springs or the moonwell.
 <Rav nods at the night elves and Tauren they pass; Taena looks very uneasy. Mal knocks on Mai's door>
 Mal: Princess?  You have guests.
 Tae: <rolls her eyes> 
 Rav: <mouths at Taena "We're here for Mairen.  Stop it.">
 Tae: <pretends to ignore Rav, which is easy enough, since she's glaring daggers at Mal's back>
[01:51] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls open the door, smiling. she's wearing a long, flowing, gown of thin linen, and her hair is done up in a bun> Suravi! Taena! <she hugs Rav first, then turns to Tae>
[01:52] arynwyn: (( Huhn... we haven't RPed anything with Ash's sister since that first time... ))
[01:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah....crap they worked out something and now I don't remember what it was....))
[01:53] arynwyn: (( Oops. <giggle> ))
[01:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Taena: <hugs Mairen protectively, actually pulling her away from Mal a little>
 Rav: <she smiles> You look so happy, Mai.
 Mal: <looks at Mai and nods to his room, naturally next to hers - in fact they're the same rooms.  They put up a shelf over Mai's fireplace so she can have a place for her books.  Aside from the pitcher, basin, etc. that was normally on her chest of drawers, there's also a stack of blankets.  Anyway, Mal adjourns to his room to let the sisters talk>
[01:56] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at him and nods, then pulls her sisters into her room> How was your journey? <she goes back to sit on her bed where she had been reading>
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was smoochin my kitty cat)0
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: )
[01:57] arynwyn: (( no worries! <3 Murphy! ))
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Long.  And we had a carriage most of the way.  I can't imagine doing this trek on foot....How are you feeling?  I mean, dealing with the addiction and now...
 Tae: And now Hands McGrabbypants had to go and...
 Rav: Taena!!  Stop that!
 Tae: I'm just saying, now we see how much his word is worth.
 
 Mal: <in the next room, hears that, winces and stifles a sigh>
[02:01] arynwyn: Mai: Taena! Stop! <sighs> We love each other, okay? <turning back to Rav> I'm doing wonderfully. I love it here. Everyone is so nice, and Verona, the head Druid (I assume) here, meditates with me every day to help with my addiction. And I have easy access to the moonwell. There's no place better to have a baby. And what's better, Mal's here with me. 
[02:01] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at Rav> The only thing missing was a priest, but you're here now! <hugs her sister>
[02:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah good assuming with Verona being Head Druidd.  she's not one to pull rank, but she has it to pull if she wants ))
[02:02] Chaos Angel Sox: *druid
[02:02] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[02:04] arynwyn: (( okay, so... I didn't know there was such a thing as black diamonds... but here is the world's largest cut black diamond... (Link: http://www.sybarites.org/wp-content/Screenshot_3_10.jpg)http://www.sybarites.org/wp-content/Screenshot_3_10.jpg&nbsp;-))
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <smiles at Mai> Yeah, let's get you checked out.  Mal's letter said the priest you consulted in Orgrimmar was...concerned?
 Taena: <mutters, just loud enough to be barely heard> Sure, he loves you...loves getting into your pants...
 
 Mal: <think: Well, the orgasms do help ease some of her pain and get her to sleep at night...'course I'm just using my hand, selfish bastard that I am...>
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((WOW.  that's nifty as hell.))
[02:04] arynwyn: (( :-D ))
[02:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((When I die, I'm going to be a blue diamond. :3 ))
[02:06] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I started throwing up very early in the pregnancy. He thought maybe it was because of the addiction. That's the main reason we came back here as opposed to go home. 
[02:06] arynwyn: (( Nice :-D ))
[02:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Trying to find the site again... you'd think I'd've bookmarked the thing >.>))
 Rav: <nods> Still throwing up?
 Tae: <is looking around the room critically>
[02:08] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Yes. Once or twice a day. Mal brings me herbs that help, though. <sighs at Tae> Can you at least try to be happy for me, Tae?...
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <arches an eyebrow at her sister> ...Some man seduces you and knocks you up and I'm supposed to be happy for you?
 
 <There's the sound of a door slamming from next door...then bootsteps going downstairs>
 
 Rav: <notices the fireplace goes through, and winces>
 Tae: See? He even eavesdrops!  You call that trustworthy?
[02:11] arynwyn: Mai: Taena! <she stands and opens her door, following partway down the stairs> Mal?... 
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((still trying to find the link to the site that'll turn cremated people (and pets!) into diamonds...))
 
 Tae: <follows after her> Mai....
 
 Mal: <stops at the bottom of the stairs, and doesn't turn around> Take it easy on yourself, princess.  Let your sister examine you.  It's been over three weeks since you were last looked at.  I have chores I've been putting off anyway...
[02:14] arynwyn: (( Oh, nice! I didn't think you were serious. O_o ))
[02:15] arynwyn: Mai: Taena, just go, okay? Go back to my room. <she heads down the stairs to Mal> Mal, I don't know what her problem is, but don't worry about it, please. <she, somewhat apprehensively, hugs him, afraid that he's so upset he'll push her away> I'll take care of it. 
[02:19] arynwyn: (( I'mma donate my body to science, preferrably the Body Farm. :-D ))
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> My organs, if any are viable, get donated, the rest of me is cremated, and then a sample from that is taken and made into a blue diamond (they can make you into yellow ones too, but I like blue better).  I am going to BE the family heirloom!!))
 
 Mal: <turns around and hugs her as tightly as he dares> I do have chores to see to.  <he kisses the top of her head> And gotta make sure Gronen knows to make enough for two more people....though he probably does.  "The earth talks to him" and all that.  <lifts her face and kisses her gently>  I'm not leaving.
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops))
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Taena: <grumbles and stays there, watching Mal like a hawk>
[02:20] arynwyn: (( That's awesome!!! I wanna do that too! 'cause there's a waiting list for the Body Farm. >.> ))
[02:21] arynwyn: Mai: <kisses him back with a small sigh of relief> I love you. Don't forget that. Tae has a chip on her shoulder. Always has. But I'll take care of it, okay? <nuzzles and kisses his neck>
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not what I was looking for but: (Link: http://www.cutecircuit.com/now/projects/wearables/fr-hugs/)(Link: http://www.cutecircuit.com/now/projects/wearables/fr-hugs/)http://www.cutecircuit.com/now/projects/wearables/fr-hugs/ ))
[02:23] arynwyn: (( COOL ))
[02:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I love you too, princess. <kissing her cheek>  Go get examined.  Please.  For our baby's sake?
 
 Tae: <glares, watching his hands, his eyes, listening to his words, waiting for an opportunity to swoop in and rescue her baby sister>
 Rav: <joining her on the landing> They're adorable.  Come back in the room and let them be, Tae?
[02:25] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> Okay. Go get your chores done. <quick peck on the cheek, then turns and heads back up the stairs, sighing at Tae> Who's the eavesdropper now, Tae? <pushes past them and goes back into her room>
[02:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh I forgot about that line: "You used the blades you held to craft your rage into duty." ))
 
 Rav: She has a point.
 Tae: <ignoring Rav and following Mai> This is different.  I'm protecting you.
 Rav: <rolls her eyes and throws her hands up, literally, following Taena and shutting the door behind them>  Can you two have this argument after I examine Mairen and make sure everything's okay with her and the baby?  Few minutes' postponement, that's all I'm asking...
[02:29] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and shoots Tae a Look> Yes, please, Suravi. I want to make everything is perfect. <she sits back down on the bed>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <casts a spell on her> And you're doing okay with fighting off the addiction?  Any more vomiting?  Weakness?  Headaches?  You're eating okay?  Not too hot or cold?  ((tried to write hold or cot))
 
 Tae: <leans against the dresser and says nothing>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: (( brb - piddleness))
[02:34] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> I've been eating a ton. No weakness, the vomiting like I told you, no headaches really. I've been doing really well with the addiction. The Druids here have taught me to use the strength of the Earthmother to fight it. I drink moonwell water when I need to, but that's rarely, honestly.
[02:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods> Well, everything seems okay.  You might want to drink more water...regular water, but it's not bad.  And I'd stay off your feet as much as possible, but it sounds like you're already doing that.  <she smiles and pats Mai's hand> You look so much better than you did when you left.
 Tae: Yeah, aside from being a few months away from being an unwed mother, she's great.
[02:41] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs Rav again> I feel so much better. I even thought about just... not going back to Eversong. But that was before all of this. I just love it here. And eveyone knows my weakness, and they help me with it. Plus there isn't any bloodthistle or anything else. But, well... Mal wants to go back to Eversong to raise the baby, so we're going to. 
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: (***)(ovO)(***)
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Joe's dancing with an Oomkin :) ))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( <LoL> ))
[02:41] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he's a tree atm >.>))
[02:42] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Sweeeet. ))
[02:42] arynwyn: (( Resto druids FTW! ))
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Even if you like it here better?
 Tae: You actually want to keep it?
 Rav: Taena.  Out.  <she turns to glare at her>
 Tae: Pulling Older Sister rank?
 Rav: Absolutely.
 Tae: <storms out of the room>
 Rav: <sighs and sits next to Mai on the bed> I don't know what to do with her.  She insisted on coming...
[02:48] arynwyn: Mai: <slightly wide-eyed> Of course we're keeping it! <glares at Tae as she leaves> What is her problem?! She's upset Mal, and she's upsetting me. And I'm pregnant! I'm supposed to be Happy. With a capital h! <sighs> I wish she hadn't come. Maybe Verona should talk to her. <folds her arms over her chest and sulks>
[02:48] arynwyn: (( Is she going off to find Mal? >.> ))
[02:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ohhh yeah she is >.> ))
 Rav: <sighs and puts an arm around her shoulders and gives her a sideways hug> She showed up a month after you left.  She asked how you were and I told her about your addiction and your quest to deal with it.  She wouldn't believe us when we told her Mr. Ashtaron was trustworthy.  She's been waiting anxiously for your return ever since...and then we got the letter.  She's been...well pretty much like that...<gestures to the door> ever since.  <she looks down> I was happy to hear you were pregnant, but Tae raised a good point: he had promised not to do anything.  Still, I'm not going to yell and scream about it: we worried about it out of fear he might...use you and abandon you.  He's obviously not doing that: he's doing everything he should be and more, and you two...<giggles lightly> are precious.
[02:56] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes lightly and grins> We love each other. And, yes, he promised, but... Midwinter Festival, for that one day, all oaths are forsworn. He didn't seduce me or anything of the sort. We both wanted it. And... <turning crimson> it was beautiful. He's not going to leave me. <she pats her stomach> He wants to be the father, and he's going to be an excellent one. <smile>
[02:56] arynwyn: (( how's Mai gunna find out about this? Tae gunna come back and tell them or what? >.> ))
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm....oh I know.))
 Rav: <she smiles> Well I'm happy for you.  <sighs> Now if we could only...
 <Verona stands in the doorway, and no, she didn't knock> I'm given to understand that our other guest is your other sister? <she nods at Rav, though she's addressing Mai; her voice isn't quite its usual chipper self>
[03:00] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and stands> Yes, Verona, this is Suravi. <eyes her carefully> Is something wrong?...
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: Would one of you care to explain why she was beating the crap out of Malseir?
 Rav: <half rising> She was doing What?
[03:04] arynwyn: Mai: <gasps> What?! <rushes past Verona, out the door> Where is he? Mal! <looking around frantically>
[03:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <walks past her> We separated the two...and by "separated", I mean Gronen picked your sister up and threw her over his shoulder.  Malseir's being tended to in the kitchens.
 Rav: Where's Taena and this...Mr. Gronen?
 Verona: I believe he shut her in the pantry...
 
 <And as they enter the kitchen, yes, there's Mal, sitting on a chair, looking bruised and battered.  He's not bleeding, but the cuts where he was bleeding are still visible, as he's being seen to by a younger druidess.  His shirt's open, and there're considerable bruises on his abdomen and chest.  Gronen is leaning against a door off to the right, arms folded, looking like an immovable rock that was somehow sculpted to look like a Tauren.  There is screaming and pounding on the door from the other side - it's obviously Taena's voice, but her words aren't able to be made out>
[03:11] arynwyn: Mai: <rushes over to Mal and kneels at his feet> Mal!... Oh gods... <she fusses over him a moment, then turns to Rav> Heal him up! <she stands and stalks over to the pantry door> Taena! What the HELL is your problem? Why did you even come? <she beats the door a few times, then leans against it, sobbing>
[03:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm fine...
 Rav: You will be.  <casts a low-level healing spell>
 Mal: Gah! <covering his eyes as he's blinded> Warn a guy first!
 Rav: Sorry, I forgot...
 
 Gronen: <pats Mai on the back> Don't get worked up <he says in his friendly gruff of a voice>
 Tae: To Protect You!  Which is all I've EVER tried to do!! <she yells from the other side of the door>
 Gronen: <pat pat pat>
[03:18] arynwyn: Mai: Protect me from the man who loves me?! You're being stupid Tae! I'm having this baby, and Mal is the father, so just get over it, okay? Or go home... <she pushes away from the door, gives Mal a look over to make sure he's okay, then rushes from the kitchen and back up to her room>
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Gronen: <Looks at Mal expectantly>
 Verona: <Looks at Mal expectantly>
 Suravi:  <Looks at Mal expectantly>
 Mal: <blink> What? You think I wasn't going to go after her? <rises and follows after Mai>
 Rav: <turns to Verona> I'm very sorry about my sister.  Is there somewhere I can talk with her in private?
 Verona: We can let you into the pantry.  There is a window there you can open for fresh air.  But Malseir, for all that he's not an official druid, spent a great many years living with us.  He is our friend.
 Rav: <nods> I understand.  <She goes over to the pantry, and Gronen lets her in>
 
 Mal: <knocks on Mai's door> Fairy princess?
[03:23] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls the door open, tears in her eyes. she tugs Mal in, glancing behind him to make sure he's not being followed, then closes the door. she pushes her way into his arms, still crying softly> Are... are you okay?...
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Finally!! (Link: http://www.lifegem.com/)(Link: http://www.lifegem.com/)http://www.lifegem.com/ ))
[03:25] arynwyn: (( ooo, Poltergeist is on. ))
[03:26] arynwyn: (( COOOOOOL ))
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <strokes her hair> I'm okay...still recovering from being blinded though.  Your sister's an amazing healer....and your other sister has a hell of a left hook.
[03:28] arynwyn: Mai: Damn her! I don't know what her problem is. I wish she'd just go home. <sighs a little and pulls away to sit on the bed> I think I over-exerted myself... And Suravi's not an ordinary priest. I'm not sure how she does it though. You'll have to ask her.
[03:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Her eyes are blue....unless the light flash just made them look that way.  <he walks over and pushes her gently down into a laying position on the bed and pets her hair> Rest.  I...I let your other sister...Taena?...beat on me.  She needed to, and...I do deserve it. <sigh>
[03:33] arynwyn: Mai: <lays back until he says this last part, then she tries to sit back up> You do not! You did nothing wrong!... It was our decision to make, damn it! <puts a hand to her head and closes her eyes> ....dizzy....
[03:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pushes her back down> Stay down and rest, and maybe I'll come back tonight and make you feel better again, hm?  <kisses her forehead>  But not when you're dizzy and overexerted already.  <pets her hair again> ...what's done is done.  Maybe venting her rage will help her get over it.
[03:38] arynwyn: Mai: <lays back, her eyes still closed, and nods> ...maybe. <sighs a little and opens her eyes> I love you. If she scares you off, I'll kill her, I swear... <though Mairen looks far too innocent to ever kill someone>
[03:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: She won't scare me off.  I promised I'd never leave you.  I just might...try and stay out of her way until she's gotten over it, you know?  <pets her hair for a long time then says> So what's the latest?  About the baby? Is...is everything okay?
[03:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah this does kinda throw a bit of a wrench in the original idea, but....<shrugs>))
[03:43] arynwyn: Mai: <closes her eyes again and relaxes as he strokes her hair> Perfect.
[03:43] arynwyn: (( Ugh, then forget the promise. >.< ))
[03:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well...what's going to end up happening now is that he said he was going to stay out of Taena's way...and Taena's going to be plastered to Mai.  So it effectively ends up with him not being around her.))
[03:45] arynwyn: (( Eh, it's not the same though... I wanted Mai to feel abandoned. >.> ))
[03:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah I know but that's going to be hard to do at the Sanctuary. ~_~ ))
 Mal: <kisses her forehead and rests a hand on her stomach carefully> Good.  I've been really worried.
 
 ((Actually, I can think of things for him to just go and do that'll take him away from the Sanctuary itself.))
[03:48] arynwyn: (( That's kind of what I figured... he'd take off into the woods for a while. <shrug> Up to you. I'm willing to take back the promise, easily. ))
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No! No taking back! Also: <random huggleses>))
[03:49] arynwyn: (( <laughs and huggles> Uhm, okay... Guess we'll go with it then. ))
[03:49] arynwyn: Mai: ...sorry that you've been worried... <snuggles back into her pillows; she's dozing off>
[03:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It isn't your fault.  <still dropping occasional soft kisses on her skin as he strokes her hair> Get some rest, fairy princess.  I'll wake you up for dinner. 
 Rav: <leans against the doorframe, smiling quietly, watching the two of them>
[03:53] arynwyn: Mai: <mumbles "I love you", then falls silent>
[03:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <beckons Mal over>
 Mal: <slips away from the bed carefully and goes over to Rav>
 Rav: <she smiles> Thank you, for all you've done for her.
 Mal: <shrugs> It's my fault.  I mean...technically, I didn't break my oath, but I also did....and...
 Rav: I don't mean that.  Well, I kind of do.  Thank you for being her friend, for bringing her here, for taking care of her on the journey.  Thank you for...loving her.  She's happier now, pregnant and living amongst a bunch of quel'dorei and Tauren, than I've seen her in a long time.  Thank you for...not being the man Taena still seems to think you are.  And I'm sorry about her.
 Mal: <flushes slightly> You shouldn't apologize for someone else's actions, and...you don't need to thank me for any of that.  I love Mairen, I really do.  With all my heart.
 Rav: I believe you.  Tae....I don't know.  <she sighs>  You may have noticed that we're all fairly stubborn; I think Tae got more than her fair share of the family stubbornness.  I can't...nothing I say to her matters...
 Mal: ...I'll stay out of her way.  As best I can. 
 
 [this done mostly in case Mai's still listening as she drops off]
[04:00] arynwyn: (( sweet. ))
[04:00] arynwyn: (( FF to...? ))
[04:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm.....how long until Mai starts freaking out?))
[04:01] arynwyn: (( from lack of Mal-ness? ))
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[04:02] arynwyn: (( uhm... a week or so maybe ))
[04:03] arynwyn: (( her mood steadily decreases though, she's unhappy and grumpy ))
[04:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((>.> Having Taena the Overprotective around probably isn't helping....))
[04:04] arynwyn: (( Nope. ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So you pick when we pick up again.  a week? two? a month?))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( a month, maybe. ))
[04:06] arynwyn: Mai: <wakes up and it's raining outside. the day is going to be a bad one. she climbs out of bed and locks her door, not wanting to see or talk to anyone. or eat>
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Taena: <knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock....silence>
 Rav: <her voice is heard talking with Tae, then there's a gentle knock> Mai?  Mai, you're due for an exam.  We might be able to tell the gender of the baby now...and I won't let Taena in.  <you can just TELL she's glaring at Taena as she says that>
[04:09] arynwyn: Mai: Go away. <steps over to the window and watches it rain> 
[04:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sighs> Mairen...for the baby's sake?  Please?  <quietly> this can't go on...
[04:10] arynwyn: Mai: I said, Go Away. 
[04:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...Mai, you haven't been doing your meditations, you're hardly eating....this can't be good for the baby.  Please?  Think of your child, Mai!  You and Mal's child!
 Taena: <can be heard grumbling, though the exact words can't be made out>
 Rav: <obviously aggravated> Put a sock in it, Tae.
 
 ((o_O Suravi!   Rav: What? I'm getting fed up.))
[04:13] arynwyn: Mal: Mal? Oh, you mean the father? The one Taena has so nicely scared off?... <glares out at the rain for a moment, then steps over to the door. she opens it partway> Suravi only. And only for the checkup. I don't want company today.
[04:15] arynwyn: *Mai
[04:15] arynwyn: (( oops. >.> ))
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <is glaring at Tae when the door opens, but she shoots Mai a grateful look> Okay, that's fine.  Whatever you want.  
 Tae: <folds her arms, standing outside the door like a bodyguard>
 Rav: <steps in quickly> Lay down on the bed. <looks her over> Light, Mai...you need to eat more.  <sighs>
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[04:16] arynwyn: Mai: No lectures, Suravi. <she closes the door and relocks it, then goes to lay down on the bed> Just get this over with, okay?
[04:18] arynwyn: Mai: ...and I don't want to know the gender of the baby.
[04:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods> For the baby's sake though...<sighs again, walks over and sits next to her on the bed; she casts the "diagnosing" spell I seem to have suddenly given all priests> ...you do need to eat more.  You need to drink more water.  At this rate, you're going to be bedbound within the next couple of weeks....out of necessity.  <looks over at her> You don't want to know?  Why not?
[04:19] arynwyn: Mai: <glares at her> I had this silly notion of having the father here with me when I found out. Seems that's not going to happen. So I'd just rather not know. Is it healthy?
[04:20] arynwyn: (( Heh, no worries. Someone in the world (of Warcraft) needs to be able to tell these things... ))
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: For now.  You're not though, and the baby needs you healthy to stay healthy.
 
 ((You know, I have had this crazy notion of the two of us making our own fantasy world to knock about in.  Alternatively, you could help me finish developing Vorpal Lhura, the online RPG world I'm working on.  Lisa pesters me relentlessly about it >.>))
[04:21] arynwyn: (( Sounds AWESOME. :-D :-D :-D ))
[04:22] arynwyn: Mai: Fine. I'll eat something. Are you done? Just have the food sent up. I don't want to go downstairs. 
[04:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> so do you want to start fresh or look at what I have on Vorpal Lhura? Not that we'd give up on these characters, mind you...))
 
 Rav: <nods> I'll send it up - but you have to eat all of it.  For the baby's sake.
[04:25] arynwyn: (( Either. I'm curious as to what you have, but starting fresh would be fun too... ))
[04:25] arynwyn: Mai: Yeah, whatever. <she stands and goes over to the door, unlocking it, holding it open and looking at Rav expectantly>
[04:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well I'll link you what I've got and you can make the call.  Either works for me :3  I have so many freaking worlds already, what's one more? ^_~ I love new worlds to play with.))
 
 Rav: <sighs and stands> Verona's trying to find him.
[04:26] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Sweeeeet. ))
[04:27] arynwyn: Mai: <looks away> I don't want to hear it. Just go, please. <tearing up> 
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <moves to hug Mairen>
[04:28] arynwyn: Mai: <moves away from her, saying hoarsely> Just go. 
[04:28] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://socks.freehosting.net/Site/)(Link: http://socks.freehosting.net/Site/)http://socks.freehosting.net/Site/  Not all the links have content....I'm mostly sure it's up to date?))
[04:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <hangs her head, sighing heavily again, and leaves>
[04:29] arynwyn: Mai: <shuts the door (hard) and locks it, then lays down on the bed to cry>
[04:30] arynwyn: (( Do I need to allow popups? ))
[04:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Shouldn't need to))
[04:30] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[04:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm not that awesome a code-mistress....yet))
[04:30] arynwyn: (( nothing under background & history then? ))
[04:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Notchet))
[04:31] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <click on the window>
[04:31] arynwyn: ?
[04:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((there's a clicking sound on the window))
 
 <there's another one: almost like a tap>
[04:33] arynwyn: (( Oh, sorry!! thought it was something doing with the website. >.> ))
[04:33] arynwyn: Mai: <sniffs and stands, going over to the window to look out>
[04:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[04:34] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[04:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <Mal's in a tree outside her window, with a handful of pebbles; he has the hood of his cloak pulled up against the rain>
[04:35] arynwyn: Mai: <just kind of looks out at him for a moment, then, with a sigh, pushes her window open. she doesn't say anything>
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((crap MUI's not up.  >.>  I'm sure I spent a ton of time on that page...))
[04:35] arynwyn: (( MUI? ))
[04:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Magic Users' Institute))
[04:35] arynwyn: (( Oh. Not that far. Just read the Calendar. >.> ))
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh what the crap...))
[04:38] arynwyn: (( Huh? ))

[04:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oops, sorry))
[04:39] arynwyn: (( s'ok, just checkin' ))
[04:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((YAY! fixed it.  <cough>))
 
 Mal: How are you, princess?  How's the baby?
[04:40] arynwyn: Mai: ...you mean you care?... <sigh> Fine. Everything is fine.
[04:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <frowns> Of course I care!  I love you.  I love the baby.  I want to spend the rest of my life with you....the last month's been...it's been hell, Mai.
[04:42] arynwyn: (( I'm intrigued by your online thing, but it only makes me want to make a new one. <laugh> ))
[04:42] arynwyn: Mai: <wipes away a tear> Where have you been?
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That's fine. :) You have to read (Link: http://socks.freehosting.net/Site/groups/mui_doors.html)http://socks.freehosting.net/Site/groups/mui_doors.html though 'cause damn I love that sign.))
[04:44] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[04:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Around.  Mostly in Ashenvale, trying to raise some coin.  I figured if I couldn't help here, I could help in some way.
[04:45] arynwyn: Mai: This is ridiculous, Mal. Stop it, please. Just come back. 
[04:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((But anyway, I'm totally up for making something new and special to us.))
[04:45] arynwyn: (( so, the food comes soon, right? Tae can see in when she opens the door... <evil grin> ))
[04:45] arynwyn: (( Sweeeet. Sounds awesome to me. :-D ))
[04:46] arynwyn: (( I'm not sure I'll be good at making the actual game part; I'll probably leave most of that up to you. >.> ))
[04:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: ...your sister really knows how to hold a grudge.
 <knock knock> Food for you, ma'am. <says random druid>
 
 ((We don't have to make an actual game if you don't want to; I've been getting help with the system - and actually there's no longer a Mind stat the way the Vorpal Lhura system is set up now...<sigh>.  Anyway: it's just a world for us to RP charas in, so it doesn't have to be an actual RPG ))
[04:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((and thank you for reminding me about the food.  heh ^_^; ))
[04:47] arynwyn: (( awesome :-D I love it. 0)
[04:47] arynwyn: *))
[04:47] arynwyn: Mai: <turns and pulls the door open, taking the food. she mutters her thanks>
[04:47] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[04:48] arynwyn: (( I'd rather just make a world that's not a game... just a place for us to let our minds go wild. :-D ))
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <peeks in as the druid delivers the food and then pushes the druid aside> YOU!  What are you doing back here?  She'd be better off without you!
 Mal: <sighs but doesn't move>
 
 ((<nod nod> cooly cool.))
[04:50] arynwyn: Mai: <quickly sets the food down and turns to shove Tae HARD> Get OUT! 
[04:51] arynwyn: (( I move that you keep Jaes. Make a version of him for our new world. >.> ))
[04:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> I'll make a version of Jaes if you make a version of Dresden. <grin>))
 Tae: <blinks> Mairen, he took advantage of you!! Why would you protect him?!
 Mal: I DID NOT!!
 Tae: Just what you would say.
 Mal: <actually ponders lobbing a pebble at her, but worries he might hit Mai>
[04:53] arynwyn: Mai: <shoves Tae again; all of her pent up anger coming out> He did NOT take advantage of me. Do you know how many times I THREW myself at him and he turned me down each time! Now get OUT! <she pushes her out of the room and slams the door, then locks it>
[04:54] arynwyn: (( Done deal. :-D ))
[04:54] arynwyn: (( <3 Jaes. ))
[04:55] arynwyn: (( I'm actually considering asking you if I can make another secret brotherhood. >.> ))
[04:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure you can!! :D ))
[04:55] arynwyn: (( sweeeeet :-D ))
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and scrubs a hand through his hair> See?  THAT is a hell of a grudge there.  If there was a way to make money off it....
[04:58] arynwyn: Mai: <turns to face him, stalking back over to the window> You! You just left me here! You promise you wouldn't leave me, yet here I am, wasting away without you. You get down out of that tree and get in here so Suravi can tell us if it's a boy or a girl! <glare>
[04:58] arynwyn: *promised
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: And I'm supposed to get by your guard dog of a sister....how, exactly?  Even with a valid reason, hitting women is still sort of frowned upon...
[05:03] arynwyn: Mai: Fine, then. Fine. <she goes over to her bed and picks up the plate, then chucks it out of the window (not at him, exactly). she closes her window hard, then tugs her curtains closed>
[05:03] arynwyn: (( sorry, had to say g'night to the hubby ))
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs> You know, suddenly, being a sneakthief seems like a positive career choice.  But I had to try and be as druid-y as a blood elf could be, didn't I? <as he climbs down>
 
 ((Is okay.  I was talking with Joe about his leaving his guild anyway.  Oh and give it about...an hour.))
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((For Mal that is))
[05:05] arynwyn: (( is he going to leave it? O_o ))
[05:05] arynwyn: Mai: <paces in her room, fuming and cursing everything she thinks of>
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> He said he'd go through this week's raids, since they're planned in advance, and not take any loot, then /gquit on the weekend (since they only raid M-F) ))
[05:06] arynwyn: (( Awww. Poor Joe. Has he got a guild to go to afterward? ))
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: <about an hour after she slammed the window shut, there's a sort of paranoid knock on her door>
[05:07] arynwyn: Mai: <harshly> Go away, Suravi!
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nope.  He's going to make a guild for him and his alts just so he can have a guildbank that all his Alliance charas can access.  (he does have one belf - a warlock) ))
[05:07] arynwyn: (( Aww... what about raiding? ))
[05:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: It's me.  Let me in; we've got about two minutes before she comes back up here...
[05:07] arynwyn: Mai: <glares at the door for a moment, then goes to unlock it. she doesn't open it though>
[05:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <tries the knob; when the door opens, he ducks in, glances out fearfully and then shuts the door behind him and locks it again; he leans against it with a sigh> You have no idea how glad I am to be back indoors.  And I owe your sister big time.  Er, not Taena, Suravi.
[05:10] arynwyn: Mai: <doesn't reply. she's pulled the curtains and is looking back outside at the rain>
[05:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <pushes off the door and crosses over to her to wrap his arms around her> And you have no idea how badly I've missed you.  <he kisses her cheek>
[05:13] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls away from him> ...don't. <she keeps her head down to hide her tears. she sighs and steps over to the fireplace, reaches up to the mantle and pulls down a bottle of moonwell water. she takes a long drink>
[05:13] arynwyn: (( oh, and before he left, she hardly ever drank any... ))
[05:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Don't...what?  Tell you the truth? <he blinks at the amount of moonwell water>  I love you, Mairen.  I've missed you terribly.
[05:16] arynwyn: Mai: I can't do this anymore, Mal. Either stay and take care of me like you promised, or tell me it's over. <takes another swig, then closes the vial and hides it again>
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I don't want it to be over!  But your sister seems to have this impulse to attack me on sight.  I can't take care of you if I'm using all of Suravi's healing energies on me.
[05:19] arynwyn: Mai: <quietly> ...then take me with you. <she just kind of dissolves, sinking to the floor and sobbing>
[05:23] arynwyn: (( aaaaaand, he's back. <snerk> ))
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mai...princess...<he drops down to the floor next to her and pulls her in against him> I can't do that.  You have to stay here, for the baby.  I...we'll figure something out.  I don't know how, but...<he kisses her forehead> I love you, I love you, Mairen, being without you has been like...like having my heart ripped out of my chest.  I'm so sorry.
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Timmeh wake back up?))
[05:23] arynwyn: (( he never went to sleep. he went upstairs for... three whole minutes. >.> ))
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<random huggles!>))
[05:25] arynwyn: Mai: <sobs harder at his words, leaning against him. she's unable to speak for a long time, but eventually her crying abates and she pulls away, sniffing>
[05:25] arynwyn: (( <huggles!> ))
[05:26] arynwyn: (( Tim: <farts loudly> ... ... EW. STINKY. ))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: We'll figure it out, Mairen.  I can't do this anymore either.  I've made some good money, and that'll be useful for what I'm planning, but...I've been going insane with thinking about you, worrying about the baby....
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah, men.))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( >.< ))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Gives Sarah chocolate covered lesbian teddy medics>))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( <giggles> Sweeet. Thanks. ))
[05:28] arynwyn: Mai: <pushes herself unsteadily to her feet> I'm... I'm going to take care of this, once and for all. <she goes to her door and pulls it open> Taena? 
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <tries to stop her - you'll note the try>
 Tae: <is back outside the door> Mairen?  Are you okay?  He didn't upset you too much, did he?  Do you need something?  I can go get it for you....
[05:30] arynwyn: Mai: Taena, enough. You're either going to shut up about Mal or leave. I'm sick of this. You're hurting me, and hurting the baby. Make your choice: shut up or leave.
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <she blinks> Mairen, I just want to protect you.  You don't know what men are really like...
 Mal: <has ducked behind the door so Tae doesn't see him>
[05:32] arynwyn: Mai: Look, I don't know what you have against men, but Mal is different. Did you throw a fit about Suravi getting married? Thandren is a great man, and so is Mal. You're not protecting me, you're hurting me. So which is it? Are you going to get over it and stick around to see your new niece or nephew? Or are you leaving?
[05:39] arynwyn: (( I really like Tae's color, btw. Don't know why. I don't generally like soft colors... >.> ))
[05:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: Rav's MARRIED.  She didn't just let that man take advantage of her.  Not that you....I mean, he obviously...seduced you or drugged you or something.  Rav said something about some Festival so you were probably too drunk to consent.  And now you just think you love him, because you can't tell the difference between lust and love, and because you can't bear to think of having this baby otherwise!!  I don't know why you didn't just abort it; he as good as raped you.
 
 ((Sorry - Hugh Laurie & Dave Matthews playing piano together....I'm such a slut for good piano playing))
[05:40] arynwyn: (( no worries. <giggle> I'm the same, with just about any instrument. ))
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah good guitar, good flute, it's all lovely but good piano...mmmmmmmmm....))
[05:42] arynwyn: Mai: <slaps Tae> Enough! He did NOT rape me, drug me, nor was I drunk! And don't you DARE speak about my baby that way! One more word about this and I'll take it as you've made you're decision and you're leaving, and I won't hesistate to ask to have you thrown out of here. <glare> 
[05:43] arynwyn: (( Piano, violin, cello, viola... <3 <3 <3 ))
[05:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <looks more shocked than hurt as her cheek starts to bloom red> ....Mairen...I'm your sister.  I just want to protect you.  What do you really know about this man?
[05:46] arynwyn: Mai: Tae! You're not protecting me! You're HURTING me. Look at me! <she looks down at herself, holding her arms out> I'm supposed to be fat! But I'm not. You know why? Because I'm UNHAPPY. Mal makes me happy, and when he's not around, I don't eat. I've hidden a bottle of moonwell water in my room because my addiction has worsened, because he's not around. And he's not around because of you. <pushes against her shoulder> You're forcing me to choose between the two of you, and I resent that. And you know what? I choose him. 
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <that hurt her, obviously more than the slap did> ... ... ...you'd choose....that MAN...over your own family?  <aside from "that MAN", which she has to bite her way through, the rest of her words are a sort of soft, disbelieving shock>
[05:53] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs> I don't want to choose! But you're making everything so hard. Why can't you just be happy for me? He loves me, I love him. Just like Rav and Thandren. No, we're not married. But that doesn't make a difference. <shakes her head> More than anything, I want you two to be friends. I think you'd like him, if you got to know him, but all you do is hate and hurt him. 
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Tae: <she just sort of looks at Mai, then her jaw sets, she turns and walks off>
 Mal: <sighs quietly when he thinks it's safe> ...would she think it better if I had proposed to you before Midwinter Festival?  If I had married you before sleeping with you?
[05:56] arynwyn: Mai: <watches her go sadly, more tears falling. she turns at Mal's voice and shrugs> Maybe. But it's too late now. <she steps back into her room and... passes out>
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: MAI! <manages to catch her in time> Mairen?  Mairen!
 
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Argh))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( argh? ))
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Enter key - more coming))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( ah, okay. ^^ ))
[05:58] arynwyn: (( AFK a minute ))
[05:58] Chaos Angel Sox: <His shout draws a crowd, of course>
 Tae: <returns and narrows her eyes> I should've known...
 Rav: Save it. <she pushes Tae aside and kneels next to Mal, who's cradling Mai> What happened?
 Mal: <lifts her and carries her to her bed, Rav following> I don't know.  She got in a fight with Taena, said like 6 words to me and then just passed out.
 
 ((kk))
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Crap - I know this is a bad time, but I have to run out and do an errand real quick before I forget it anymore.))
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bbiab - just have to run some movies back to the store; they have to be back before the store opens))
[06:12] arynwyn: Mai: <remains out cold for about three minutes, then she comes to, blinking> ...someon' there? <she squints around at the people, her eyes unfocused>
[06:26] arynwyn: (( sorry about that. tim needed to talk to me about packing and such. ))
[06:27] arynwyn: (( and welcome back. <huggles> ))
[06:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <strokes her hair> Princess?  Are you okay?  
 Rav: Mai?
 
 ((Thanks. ^_^; <huggles> And yeah, packing good))
[06:27] arynwyn: Mai: <clutches at her abdoment, crying out in pain suddenly, tears in her eyes. she gasps> ...my baby!...
[06:28] arynwyn: (( <shares dark chocolate m&ms> ))
[06:29] arynwyn: *abdomen
[06:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay!  I'm reheating the...er...rest of my breadsticks ^_^;; ))
 
 Rav: <casts a massive healing spell immediately>
 Mal: <watches, eyes wide with fear, and just keeps stroking her hair...it's something of a reflex now>
[06:29] arynwyn: (( nice ))
[06:30] arynwyn: Mai: <after the healing spell is cast, she lays back, relaxing a bit. she still has a terrified look in her eyes as she gazes up at Mal. she grasps his hand tightly> ...don't leave me. Gods, don't go...
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I'm staying right here.  I'm not moving. <he squeezes her hand>
 Rav: She needs to rest.  As in bedrest.  She needs food, water, and lots of restful sleep.  No moving around.
[06:33] arynwyn: Mai: <closes her eyes, Mal's hand in a deathgrip, and nods> ...food. Please... I... I didn't eat what was brought earlier. And... <glances up at Mal> My moonwell water. <shake tremble shake>
[06:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <looks to Rav when Mai requests the moonwell water>
 Rav: <hesitates then nods; she stands>
 Mal: <indicates where he saw Mai pull it from>
 Rav: <retrieves it and hands it to him> I'll go get her some fresh food. <hurries out>
 Mal: <levers her up into a quasi-sitting position and helps her drink some moonwell water> I'm not leaving again.  Not going anywhere.  Gods...don't die.  Don't either of you die. <he sounds purely terrified>
[06:40] arynwyn: Mai: <drinks some of the water, the pushes it away, saying weakly> Thank you. I... <shakes her head> I'm sorry. I haven't been taking very good care of myself. I couldn't think of anything except you. <looks up at Mal sadly>
[06:41] arynwyn: (( Is Tae still there? Just out of curiousity. ))
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs> And what's important to me is you and our child.  More than anything else.  <puts the vial away and resumes hair-petting> What would you think if I asked your sister to marry us?  As in "as soon as she comes back through that door"?
 
 ((Tae has gone off to pack. ~_~ ))
[06:42] arynwyn: (( Oh. =(  ))
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she can wander back and ask Rav for a status update if you like))
[06:43] arynwyn: Mai: <her eyes light up a little> Really?
[06:43] arynwyn: (( Heh, she should come in as they're getting married. :-D ))
[06:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods> I...I don't care whether or not our child is a "bastard", but....I don't want anyone else to think of him or her that way.  And I can't bear a month without you; how would I be able to survive it the rest of my life?
 
 ((Okee ^_^ ))
[06:45] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and nods> I'd love that. <she begins to watch the door impatiently>
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I...um...I don't have a ring, or anything that would count as one, but...I've been directing my limited funds elsewhere.  I promise, I'll get you one as soon as I can...
 Rav: Get her one what? What does she want? <carrying a tray with a bowl of soup, a chunk of crusty bread, and some water>
 Mal: <doesn't even look at her> Marry us.  Now.  er...Please.
 Rav: <looks like she's about to drop the tray - blink blink>
[06:48] arynwyn: Mai: <grins over at Rav, but says to Mal> I don't need a ring. Not now, anyway. <turning back to Rav> Please, Rav? 
[06:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...umm....eat some food first. <setting the tray down>  So you don't pass out again in the middle of your wedding.  <she sighs> No one in this family is going to have a normal wedding, I see...
[06:51] arynwyn: Mai: <quickly stuffs the bread in her mouth (half-choking on it) and drinks the water. 30 seconds later...> I'm ready. 
[06:52] arynwyn: (( Rav & Ren had a big wedding, didn't they? I mean, I know we didn't RP it, but... Ren's a noble. It was expected. >.> ))
[06:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <chuckles and thinks a little> We'll need witnesses....
 Mal: <holds one of Mai's hands in both of his> Get Verona and Gronen.
 Rav: Be right back then...eat some more while I'm gone.  Slowly please, so it stays down?
 
 
 ((Well yeah...eventually.  The original wedding was still the rushed, married-by-proxy thing while he was in a coma. ^_^; ))
[06:54] arynwyn: Mai: Wait. Rav... <she glances at Mal with an apologetic look> I want Tae here. <she squeezes Mal's hand> 
[06:54] arynwyn: (( True ))
[06:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...are you sure about that?
 Mal: ...are you sure about that?
[06:56] arynwyn: Mai: <looks between the two of them and nods> If she'll come... <she picks up the soup and takes a few bites> She's my sister. You two are all the family I have left. Well, for now. <smiles at Mal and rubs her stomach>
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <smiles at Mai and kisses her hand>
 Rav: Okay, I'll ask her.  You'll know when she answers when you hear the catastrophic screaming...<she ducks out>
 
 <There isn't a catastrophic screaming.  Rav returns a few moments later with a smiling Verona in tow.  About 30 seconds after they come in, Taena comes in.  She's still frowning and she's not looking directly at them, but she's quiet, and she's there>
 Verona: <rests a hand on Mal's shoulder> It's far past time you made an honest woman of her, Malseir.  <she grins>
 Mal: <takes his attention off Mai long enough to stick his tongue out at Verona>
 Rav: Okay, okay.  I'm afraid this is going to have to be something of a rushed job, because Mai needs to be resting.  Eat more soup.
[07:03] arynwyn: Mai: <has eaten about half the bowl already, and she's full, but she obligingly takes a few more bites, and a long drink of water. she smiles at Verona, and then over at Tae> Taena... Come here. <she pats the side of the bed that Mal's not on> Come sit by me, please? 
[07:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Taena: <sighs and goes to sit next to Mai; she refuses to look at Mal>
[07:06] arynwyn: Mai: Taena, you know I love you. But I also love Mal. He's going to take care of me, and the baby. Please, if you love me at all Tae, accept him. I'm not asking you to like him, just don't hate him. It's too hard on me. <she hugs Tae tightly> I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I really am. I was just so upset.
[07:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Taena: <hugs Mai back, but doesn't say anything>
 Rav: Just...give her time, Mai.  Right now, you need rest.
 Mal: ...and I'll make sure she gets it, once we're married.
 Verona: You never did like being patient.
 Rav: Okay.  I'm hoping you both understand what a serious commitment marriage is...I think we're required to say something like that.
[07:14] arynwyn: Mai: <frowns at Tae a moment, then gives up. she turns back to Rav and Mal> I understand. It means I get to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. <she smiles at Mal, taking his hand again and squeezing it>
[07:14] arynwyn: (( <hungry> ))
[07:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((easy solution to that ^_~ ))
[07:15] arynwyn: (( Heh. I dunno what I want. Well, I do... but we don't have milk to make it with. =(   Hm... I wonder if we have shells & cheese. Though that'd require I wash the pan. >.> <sigh> Such a dilemma. ))

[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <squeezes her hand and kisses it again> I understand.  I understand even more what happens when I'm not with her.
 Rav: <nods> Malseir Ashtaron, do you take...Mairen Truedawn to be your wife?  Will you promise to love, cherish and protect her for as long as you both shall live?  I think that's how it goes, and Light, this is awkward. <she's obviously very nervous>
 Verona: I could do this, but I doubt your laws would honor a union blessed by the Earthmother...
 Mal: Is it?  <looks at Verona> Blessed by the Earthmother?
 Verona: Of course it is.
 Mal: Good to know. <smiles at Mai>  And yes, of course I do.  I do love her, cherish and adore her, and I'll protect her with my life.
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh dear god, you've found Bleach....))
[07:21] arynwyn: (( Is that bad? >.> ))
[07:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No.  Just remember that I'm the one person on the planet who's not enamored of it :) ))
[07:22] arynwyn: Mai: <is a little flushed, but she smiles back at Mal, then waits for Rav to continue>
[07:22] arynwyn: (( Heh, it's not my favorite either. <shrug> It's on, and I'm bored, so I looked up pics. Sorry. ))
[07:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay.  I don't mind the pics - the first one is pretty awesome - just save the squeeing please ^_^; ))
[07:25] arynwyn: (( <laugh> No squeeing, promise. =P I've not found an anime I like enough to squee at. I liked Blood + for a while, but... <shrug> ))
[07:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <clears throat> And Mairen Truedawn, do you take Malseir Ashtaron to be your husband?  Will you promise to love, cherish and honor....wait.  <runs through things in her mind> Huh, that is the way it's worded, but...anyway: Will you promise to love, cherish and protect him for as long as you both shall live?  I don't see why a woman can't protect her husband.
 Tae: <watches Mai>
 Mal: She does protect me; I'd die without her. <more hand kissing>
 Verona: <chuckles>
[07:28] arynwyn: Mai: <has eyes only for Mal> I do. Of course I do. <she continues to smile happily>
[07:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Um....great.  So...I wish you two a long, happy and prosperous union.  Congratulations.....and I'm never doing one of these again.  At least, not without preparation, so it doesn't sound...stupid.
 Verona: You did fine.
 Mal: <smiles, leans in and kisses Mai>
 Tae: <looks away>
 Rav: Okay, you'll have to postpone your honeymoon night, I'm afraid.  The bride needs to rest.
 Tae: <comments quietly about how they already had their honeymoon night>
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh this is the fetus/baby episode of House))
[07:34] arynwyn: Mai: <returns the kiss, blushing still, then pulls away. she smiles at Mal for a moment, then nods> I do need to rest. But... I don't want you to go anywhere. <she looks around the room as if she just realized others were present> Thank you everyone. <she turns and hugs Tae, then holds out her arms for Rav, and then for Verona> Thank you.
[07:34] arynwyn: (( eh? ))
[07:35] arynwyn: (( okay, so maybe a little squeeing at: (Link: http://cache.kotaku.com/gaming/adventchildrensunglasses.jpg)http://cache.kotaku.com/gaming/adventchildrensunglasses.jpg :-D ))

[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm pondering defrosting the last loaf of bread dough for more breadsticks.... >.>
[01:16] arynwyn: <laugh> Go for it.
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Seriously though, if I tell you "Product X costs you $1.00 per unit", it's pretty clear what that means, right?
[01:17] arynwyn: Oh, question... does the bread dough for those breadsticks have to be frozen? 'cause I bought a French loaf from the refridgerated section, one of those Pillsbury cans...
[01:17] arynwyn: Yeah.
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Hm.  I've only ever made it w/ frozen, but I guess so long as you have bread dough it doesn't matter. ^_^
[01:17] arynwyn: Okies... I'll try it sometime. ^^
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: This twit at work asked me what that means.  What "Product X costs you $1.00 per unit" means.  And then asked what "50 units selling at $4.00 per unit" meant after that.
 
 Ooo let me know how that turns out :3
[01:18] arynwyn: Yeesh...
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: And I left out the bitching about how, yet again, I'm doing management level work and getting peon pay for it. ~_~  
 
 okay but anyways...<cough clear throat> do you want to start in on working out the new world or poke at our charas or what? :)
[01:20] arynwyn: Wow. <hugs> Sorry. She reminds me of some of the people I worked with...
[01:20] arynwyn: Hm. We can start on our new world, I think, though I'm a little apprehensive... How fantastical are we making this?
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <hopes and prays for the UITS job to come through...and hugs Sarah back>
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: How fantastical do you want to make it? :)
[01:20] arynwyn: <hopes and prays with you>
[01:21] arynwyn: Well... I kind of like the idea of "fantastical" beings in the modern world. But that's just me. >.>
[01:21] arynwyn: Though I'm torn...
[01:21] arynwyn: I like old world stuff, but... we have that with our other RP, you know?
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo.  Like elves in our time?  It's almost Shadowrun only not that futuristic.
[01:22] arynwyn: Yeah. And we should decide like, what beings are allowed and not allowed. <coughvampirescough>
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> You wants you some vampy goodness?
[01:23] arynwyn: Mebbe... <wipes at some drool>
[01:23] arynwyn: <has a thing for vamps>
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> I'm all for that.  Oh did you read the thing I sent? >.> that just stops in the middle?
[01:23] arynwyn: Thing? Huh?
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: I sent...er...part of a chapter to you in email
[01:24] arynwyn: Oh. <hides> I haven't yet.
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Is okay.  Just making sure you hadn't read it and hated it and were afraid of telling me.  ^_^
[01:24] arynwyn: No. I just keep forgetting. >.<
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> sounds familiar.
 
 Okay so definitely vampires.  You want any other supernatural beasties? Ghosts, weres (like werewolves, weretigers, werebunnies, etc.), zombies?
[01:25] arynwyn: Uhm... if you can figure out how they'd live in modern society, sure. <laugh>
[01:28] arynwyn: Chances are I'll only make humans (with supernatural abilities) and vampires... though I may try a werewolf at some point.
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: <chuckles> Well, scads of horror filmmakers have already done zombies in modern society.  That's easy.  hell I've got my own copy of The Zombie Survival Guide here on my desk (between The Intellectual Devotional and The American Heritage Dictionary).
[01:28] arynwyn: Half-demons are cool too.
[01:28] arynwyn: <LOL>
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: It's easy to pull supernatural stuff into modern day.
 <laughs> My IOU chara's half-succubus.
[01:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Do you want any non-human races? Elves, dwarves, dragons, trolls, orcs?
[01:29] arynwyn: Mkay. Uhm... I'm going to spend some time with Tim first... Sorry. 
[01:30] arynwyn: And sure, if you want. I'm all for it. Like I said, the only thing I really care about is the modern-day thing.
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> Modern day setting.  Computers, cars, airplanes - no problem.
[01:31] arynwyn: Mkay. See you in a while.

[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: okay posted :)
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm going to see how defrosted bread dough is....
[03:44] arynwyn: Okies.
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: eh maybe just a bit more defrosty time
[03:45] arynwyn: Mkay. Almost done.
[03:45] arynwyn: I like your idea. :-D
[03:46] Chaos Angel Sox: is it evil enough for you, when we get to that point?
[03:46] arynwyn: Evil enough? What do you mean?
[03:46] Chaos Angel Sox: evil, fun, same difference :)
[03:46] arynwyn: Oh, and I wanna RP Ath with Mya at some point. She's noticed her hanging around with Dres and she wants to know who he is
[03:46] arynwyn: Of course! 
[03:47] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod> Yeah I thought of that too.  <giggles> Mya needs to squee to someone. ^_~
[03:47] arynwyn: <laugh> Okay, so maybe that Monday night? The one he proposed on?
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure.  Mya's not intending to let it spill then, since they "just got word" that Paeron's dead.  
 
 Which, by the way, I figure Furon'll paint that as a suicide. Anyone who sees the body will know it's a lie - he has stab wounds in both shoulders - but Furon can control who sees the body before it's properly redressed and all.  That kosher with you & the Bloodwatchers? ^_^
[03:50] arynwyn: Heh, sure. They don't really care. He's dead, that's all that matters.
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Okee.  just double-checking.  We'll see if Mya can control herself....though she's pretty good at that at this point.
[03:51] arynwyn: Heheh, okies.
[03:51] arynwyn: Lemme get Ath's color...
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk - where we doing this? Mya's room? Ath's? somewhere else?))
[03:52] arynwyn: (( Uhm... I was thinking Ath'd come in to Mya's room... She's been holding back asking, but now she's just far too curious, esp. since Mya was away for the weekend... ))
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk :D ))
[03:53] arynwyn: Ath: <taps lightly on Mya's door that night, about nine o'clock. she's wearing cloth pants and a loose linen shirt (pajamas) and holding an apple>
[03:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is going through her closet, ostensibly planning her outfit for the funeral, but honestly trying to decide what to wear to her first wedding.  She blinks out of her reverie and goes to the door, peeking out to see who it is> Athie? <she's gotten used to calling Aileth "Athame" in private; she opens the door enough to let her in>
[03:55] arynwyn: Ath: <slips in through the cracked door and shuts in behind her. she leans against the wall just to the side of the door> Am I interrupting, Mya? <eyeing the closet>
[03:55] arynwyn: *shuts it
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: No, of course not.  Sisters above clothes, always. <faint smile>
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cannot think of what else to put after that. argh))
[03:57] arynwyn: (( ooooo, that reminds me; I have Ath drama. <grin> ))
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo!))
[03:58] arynwyn: Ath: <returns the faint smile with her own light smile. she takes a small bite from the apple and goes to sit on the edge of the bed> So... Who's the man? Or am I not allowed to know? <quietly, almost to herself> Like so many other things...
[03:59] arynwyn: (( Yeah. Well, she can't *never* remember her past... and there are some gruesome details from her mother's death I want her to remember. ))
[03:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sits next to Ath> ...well, I wasn't sure it was appropriate...I mean, what with Paeron and all...
 
 ((Oooo.  very evil. :) ))
[04:00] arynwyn: Ath: <takes another bite and nods> Very well then. <she stands> I leave you to your <glance at the closet> clothing.
[04:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <tugs at Ath's pants without standing> I didn't say I wouldn't tell you...I just didn't want to bring it up.  But if you want to know...I won't mind spilling a little bit...<grins at her>
[04:02] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow as she turns, then sits back down on the bed. she takes another bite of her apple> Whoever he is, he seems to make you happy. That's a good thing, at least.
[04:03] arynwyn: (( And yes, Ath is jealous.  ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: He just sort of...appeared out of nowhere.  He's a wonderful....conversationalist. <giggles>
 
 ((yeah I need to get her a man...))
[04:05] arynwyn: Ath: <studies her sister and nods> I'm sure he is. You spent the weekend with him? <crunch goes the apple>
[04:05] arynwyn: (( Heh, if you want. =P ))
[04:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> It was very nice...when he wasn't sleeping. <smile> He's...I don't know.  I can't think of a reason Uncle Furon wouldn't approve of him if things got serious....but...now's not the time to bring it up, I suppose.
[04:08] arynwyn: Ath: Does he have a name? Is he a noble? I've seen him a couple of times and he looks... rough. <brushes some hair out of her face and takes another bite>
[04:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> He is kind of...scruffy, but I actually kind of like that, except his stubble tickles.  <giggle>  His name's Dresden.  Dresden Sunwhisper.  He's not one of the older sons, but he is still nobility.
[04:12] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and gives her sister a small hug, but she's not smiling> I'm happy for you. <she stands> I should get to bed. I have another tiring day of absolutely nothing tomorrow. <she heads for the door>
[04:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she frowns> Athie?  Are you okay?  Is it...Paeron?
[04:14] arynwyn: Ath: <looks back at her and shakes her head> No. It's not Paeron. I hardly knew him. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. <tight smile>
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Worrying about you is pretty much what I'm here for.  If there's something you need to talk about, Athie...
[04:15] arynwyn: Ath: ... <barely avoids a glare> I can take care of myself, Mya. <she pulls the door open and steps out, closing the door quietly behind her>

[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya:... ... ...<she nods finally> I'll be right next door if you need me.  For anything.  Really.  Don't worry about waking me up.  For anything, even...even if it seems trivial.  Okay?
[04:38] arynwyn: Ath: <merely nods>
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Promise me or I'm not going.
[04:39] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs again> I promise.
[04:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <considers making her say it all...but then nods again and goes to the doorknob> Just....please stay with us.  We lost you once; Father couldn't handle it if he lost you again, and I missed you so much when you were gone, Aileth.  It's been so great having you with us again.  <opens the door>
[04:42] arynwyn: Ath: ...You want me to stay? But why? I've done nothing since I've arrived except sit around, getting fat. I'm supposed to be the head of this generation, the future head of our family, yet I make no decisions, except maybe what wine to serve with dinner. <she shakes her head> It's pointless for me to be here.
[04:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It's not pointless.  Honestly, all you have to do is get to know our cousins and what they can do.  For now, there isn't much for you to do...and you are NOT getting fat.  I'm still jealous of your figure.
[04:44] arynwyn: (( Does Ath know about  the family "business"? ))
[04:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm.  I know Aileth did; I can't remember what all's been said to Athame but I think at the very least she would've heard some things, seen some things, and she's smart enough to figure it out))
[04:46] arynwyn: (( sec ))
[04:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[04:49] arynwyn: (( So... she'd know enough to say, "Why can't I do what you do?" ))
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> Definitely))
[04:50] arynwyn: Ath: <runs a finger along the window sill and says quietly> ...why can't I do what you do? 
[04:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: What I do? <she looks at her, and shuts the door ((since I forgot she'd opened it))> You...never wanted to before.
[04:53] arynwyn: Ath: I'm bored with this. When I was on my own, things were exciting. Now all I do is sit. My mind is wasting away. I had dreams, desires... and now I have nothing.
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well...tell me about these dreams, your desires?
[04:55] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs a little> I wanted to be a great Priestess of Shadows, at the very least. I did, but now... I just don't want to waste away.
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya:  You still can be.  We can get you into the Temple, get private tutors, whatever you want.  Just make what you want known to us and we'll help you pursue it.  That's what family does.
[04:58] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> It's not the same. It's not the same as fighting for your life every day, like I used to. <sighs and shakes her head> Nevermind, Mya. Please, just forget everything I've said. <she crosses back over to her bed and crawls into it> 
[04:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You want to fight for your life every day?  You want to wake up every sunrise not knowing whether you'll be alive at sunset?
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((working on chopping bread dough))
[05:00] arynwyn: Ath: I don't expect you to understand. It's not like that. I don't want to live like I did, not necessarily. But a little danger and excitement would be nice. <lays down on her side, facing away from Mya>
[05:01] arynwyn: (( okies... I'm hungry too, but I dunno what to have... hmm... cookie dough? ice cream? uhm... we need to go shopping really bad. >.< ))
[05:01] arynwyn: (( maybe we have shells & cheese... ))
[05:02] arynwyn: (( eh, ice cream sounds good... ))
[05:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I vote for cookie dough AND ice cream))
 Mya: I don't know how to give you danger....but we'll talk more about resuming your priestess training in the morning.  And...if you really want to be more involved...well we can talk about that tomorrow too.
[05:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:07] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> Sure. G'night Mya.
[05:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs and leaves>
 
 ((now comes messy part - brb))
[05:09] arynwyn: (( okies. when you get back, we can decide what to do next. :-D ))
[05:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okay so 10 minutes from now I should have breadsticks...have to wash a pot to heat up pizza sauce. 
 Anyway...what next, what next...<ponder ponder>  The morning conversation?  Mya really does want Ath to be happy and sparkly.  
 
 ...maybe if they send Ath back to the Temple she can meet a guy there?  Maybe her tutor?  wait we did that with Damien and Xen already.  Or!  Say the tutor already has a student and s/he got pressured into taking Ath on too and then Ath and the other student can start competing to see who's better?  Get that nice rivalry thing going? ))
[05:25] arynwyn: (( Heh, I swear I'm psychic... I always know when you're back and typing. ))
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs>))
[05:26] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Uhm... Ath's not really the competitive type though... ))
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Drat.))
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<think think>))
[05:26] arynwyn: (( She's quiet and keeps to herself, 'member? ))
[05:26] arynwyn: (( Hm. <thinks too> ))
[05:26] arynwyn: (( Eh, what the hell. We can try it. ))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( If he rubs her the right way... er, the wrong way... she'll want to show she's better. ))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Maybe the guy will bring it out in her.  Guys are naturally competitive.  He makes it clear to her that HE'S going to be the top student, damnit...maybe do some dirty scheming too.  She needs to get used to dirty scheming, in that family....))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> Maybe throw in some "I'm a man; men are better at everything..." <giggle> ))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( Thought not TOO much. Just enough to make her indignant. ))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( Heh, and make her think that the tutor favors him... ))
[05:28] arynwyn: *though
[05:30] arynwyn: (( <giggles> There's this commercial type thing on Adult Swim of a green clay worm monster who is crawling and "eating" candy corn, then "crapping" tootsie rolls. ))
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okee.  can do.   And now we test my ability to pull a character out of my ass. ^_^;  Two characters, no less - tutor person too.))
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooooo tootsie rolls...))
[05:30] arynwyn: (( <laugh> We can wait on it if you want. ))
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: (("The world looks mighty good to me/'Cause tootsie rolls are all I see..."))
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nah I'm good.  It's good challenge.))
[05:31] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:31] arynwyn: (( mkay ))
[05:31] arynwyn: Ath: <comes downstairs later than normal, looking tired. she sits down to have her usual cup of coffee>
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hold on gotta get breadsticks out of oven))
[05:33] arynwyn: (( sure thing! ))
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((just doin' the convo between Mya & Ath to convince her to go back to the Temple, yeah?))
[05:37] arynwyn: (( yep. ))
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <materializes and sits next to Ath> I hope you slept at some point?
 <servant brings Ath a cup of coffee>
[05:38] arynwyn: Ath: <nods her thanks to the servant and takes a sip> Not after the nightmare, no. You?
[05:39] arynwyn: (( You gots the yummy breadsticks, yes? :-D ))
[05:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shakes her head> I've been trying to think of what we can do for you.  Because I want you to be happy.  The family wants you to be happy.  And...we have been overprotective of you, keeping you pretty much locked up here, or only letting you out with a passel (sp?) of servants to follow you around.
[05:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yep yep :3 ))
[05:40] arynwyn: (( spelled right ^^  and sweeeeet )0
[05:40] arynwyn: Ath: <another sip> Come up with anything?
[05:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You want to go back to the Temple?  We can arrange to get you the very best Shadow tutor they have.  
 And even if you don't want to do that...your days are your own now.  You do what you want with them, take who you want with you.  You're a grown woman.  You're right: you can take care of yourself.  You don't need a handler.
[05:43] arynwyn: Ath: <sets her cup down> And Uncle Furon would agree with you?
[05:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Go ask him. <she smiles>  If it's what you want, you go for it.  You're going to be his successor, after all.
[05:44] arynwyn: Ath: <rubs a spot on the table> Even if I'm allowed to do what I want, I wouldn't know what to do. <she decides her coffee is cool enough and takes a deep drink>
[05:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> Start with the lessons, if that sounds good to you; you can always quit them if you change your mind.  And in the meantime, it gives you something to do at least.  Something out of the house.
[05:46] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Alright. I will, then. Do I need to talk to Furon before I do that? 
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well....according to protocol...you probably should, but...if you want my advice? 
[05:47] arynwyn: Ath: <faint smile> Always.
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.  Go for it.
[05:48] arynwyn: Ath: <finishes up her cup of coffe and stands> Wish me luck then. <bends to hug her sister>
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <hugs her> You don't need it, but good luck anyway. <smile>
[05:49] arynwyn: Ath: <grabs her cloak and sets out for the Temple, arriving late in the morning. she steps inside and looks around, unsure who to ask for help. after all, her trainer from before was a senile old man who taught her out of his home>
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: <a junior priestess bustles over to her> You're Miss Duskblade? <bow scrape>
[05:51] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow> You know my name?
[05:52] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Futurama: "Everyone, to the Fire Door!" "It's on fire!" ))
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Yes'm.  I was given your description by your sister.  She said you might be coming by.  And I...owe her a favor, so...I can't guarantee Ms. Terrian will take you on, but...I can get you in to speak with her at least.
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya has very little influence on her own...but she does have a bit. ^_^; ))
[05:53] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Thank you. <she pulls off her cloak and drapes it over an arm> 
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: This way, if you please?  She's having her morning...er...meal, and she can be kind of cranky.  Just as a warning...<as she leads Ath through the Temple>
[05:55] arynwyn: Ath: <follows, looking around and memorizing everything she can> Her name is Ms. Terrian you said? 
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod> Rebei Terrian.  She's not the top Shadow priestess here, but if you ask me it's 'cause she never really tried for it.  She already has a pupil, but...it's happened that she's taken more than one on before.
[05:57] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I hope she does, if she's the best. <light smile> 
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: This is her door.  Um...wait here a minute.  <she knocks on the door and a gruff voice, barely discernible as female barks for her to come in; the junior priestess ducks in quickly.  At one point, there's the sound of something breaking and the gruff voice can be heard saying, "IDIOT!"  Then the door opens again, and the younger girl scurries out>
 Ms. Terrian: <is an older woman, wearing the same robes the younger Shadow priestesses wear, only with some slight embellishments around the sleeves and hem.  She's got a mug of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other> Fool girl broke my saucer.  <she looks Ath over> So....you gonna stand in the doorway or you gonna come in, girl?
[06:02] arynwyn: Ath: <steps inside and closes the door, shutting it behind her quietly. she gives a small bow> Ath-... Aileth Duskblade. I've been told you're the best, Ms. Terrian.
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms Terrian: <barks a harsh laugh and takes a drag off her cigarette> Can the flattery, girl.  I don't care who your family are, and I've reached the age where pretty compliments don't really mean a damn.  What does matter is why you're here and what you can do. <drinks her coffee; she has an entire pot of it on a burner on her desk; the junior priestess scurries back in and starts sweeping up broken saucer bits> Sit, sit...I get tired just watching you stand there, girl. <as Ms. Terrian takes her own seat>
[06:06] arynwyn: Ath: <seems a little amused by the woman's attitude, a small smile playing on her lips as she takes her seat> You seem a no-nonsense woman, so I'll cut to the chase. What must I do to convince you to take me on as a student? 
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: Why aren't you already in the Temple if you're so serious a student?  And don't try to tell me you're in the Temple, 'cause I can tell.  <pointing at her with the fingers holding the cigarette before she puffs on it>
[06:09] arynwyn: Ath: I spent a year away from my family after an accident. I had no memory of who I was or where I belonged. I started my training as a Priestess then, though informally. Then I found my family, and I've been spending time gettin reaquainted with them. Now I find myself far too idle to be happy, so I wish to continue my training.
[06:09] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Ms T is funny. ))
[06:10] arynwyn: *getting
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <coughs smokily> You don't want to be pampered and lazy? <eyeing her warily as she pours herself more coffee and drinks it straight, not even waiting for it cool off>
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Glad you like her ^_^ ))
[06:11] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles a little> I will be pampered no matter what, but lazy doesn't suit me, I'm afraid. After spending a year along, fighting for my life every day, I find idleness boring.
[06:11] arynwyn: *year alone
[06:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <continues studying her, smoking thoughtfully> Well we'll see how lazy you can be.  Get that clumsy idiot who was in here earlier to show you to my training rooms.  I'll be down when I'm done with breakfast, and we'll see whether you'll be a waste of my time or not.  <Note that there is No Food anywhere in sight, just coffee and cigarettes>
[06:16] arynwyn: Ath: <smirks a little and nods, then stands> Thank you. <she turns and steps out of the room, closing the door behind her, and looks around for the junior priestess>
[06:16] Chaos Angel Sox: <she hurries back, having disposed of the broken saucer bits> So...um...?
[06:17] arynwyn: Ath: She says you're to take me to her training rooms. <adds> Please. 
[06:19] Chaos Angel Sox: <nods> This way then...<she heads along a hallway, down a whole bunch of stairs, and then past a long line of doors, stopping at one and bowing> Please wait inside.
[06:19] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and opens the door, stepping in and looking around while she shuts it behind her>
[06:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <It's pretty sparse; the floor and the bottom third of the circular room are padded, the rest is bare wall.
 
 After about 10 minutes, Ms. Terrian enters the room, carrying a rather scraggly cat, which she sets down.  It immediately darts to the far end of the room>
 Ms.T: Okay.  What can you do?  If you need a target, use the cat.  It's what I have the flea-bitten thing for.
[06:24] arynwyn: Ath: <rubs her hands together for a moment. she's been going over spells the past ten minutes and she's feeling a little nervous. it's been a while since she's cast any spells. she looks over at the cat, then begins casting a range of spells, healing the cat at intervals, even needing to resurrect it once. when she's finished, she's breathing a little hard. she looks over at Ms. T and waits for approval or disapproval>
[06:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <She looks like she's asleep, leaning against one wall, arms folded, head bowed and eyes closed.  After a moment or so, she seemingly wakes up> Well, you're the first potential student I've had in a long time who's seen fit to heal Mr. Tabbikins themselves, rather than waiting for me to do it.  You're a little behind the curve in the spells you know, but you cast all of those, the healing spells and the resurrection spell without much real trouble.  So...what the hell?  I already have one pupil about your level; just as easy to teach you both as to just teach him, I suppose.
[06:31] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles (yes, an actual smile) and gives a small bow> Thank you. <she bends and picks up her cloak where she dropped it before casting spells> When shall we start?
[06:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T:  After lunch.  Be here, in this room, at 1 o'clock.  And eat something before you come.  You're a beanpole.  <Ms. Terrian is practically skin and bones herself>
[06:34] arynwyn: Ath: <stifles a chuckle and nods> And how shall I refer to you? Is Ms. Terrian acceptable? Or do you have something else which you'd like me to call you?
[06:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: You show up and work your bony little ass off, and you can call me "disgusting old hag" for all I care.  I'm used to it - and worse - trust me.  <shrugs> You're just going to be "girl" to me until I decide to call you different anyway.
[06:37] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Very well. Thank  you. I'll be back at a quarter to one. <heads to the door>
[06:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it's just about my bedtime.  blargh.  I don't want to work with Mike tonight >_< ))
[06:37] arynwyn: (( ah. okay. ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: (( I want to stay up, but I can feel my eyes trying to drop shut.  <sighs>))
[06:39] arynwyn: (( mkay. <huggles> ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((...and I'm not doing this to buy time to think up Ath's guy....really >.>))
[06:39] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggleses>))
[06:39] arynwyn: (( happy sleepings. I'm pretty tired too. didn't sleep well last night. ))
[06:40] Chaos Angel Sox: (( I'm sorry :( badness?))
[06:40] arynwyn: (( uhm... some bad dreams I guess. tossed and turned a lot. ))
[06:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((what did I tell you about having bad dreams?! <teddy whap>))
[06:41] arynwyn: (( I sowwy. <drooping ears> ))
[06:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You'd better be!  I know you're having bad dreams just to spite me 'cause you secretly hate me!))
[06:41] arynwyn: (( O_o That's NOT TRUE! <cry flail> ))
[06:42] arynwyn: (( I spend hours online talking to you cause I hate you?! ))
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Then you do what I tell you!  Rawr!))
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I ought to stop making fun of Mark like this.... >.> ))
[06:42] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[06:42] arynwyn: (( You! Sleep! ))
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yes'm.  I go to bed and see which character starts poking at me for attention in my head.  And I hope I don't have any more apocalyptic dreams with T-Rexes, death carriages and infecteds  >.>))
[06:43] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[06:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah that was basically my reaction.))
[06:44] arynwyn: (( Uhm... okay... <laugh> Good luck. Good sleepings, happy dreams, yay class, boo work and I'll see you tomorrow night! ))
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep!  I should be back about 6:30ish your time unless I go crazy and walk out of work. >.> You have good happy sleepings and happy day too.))
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Or else you're not really my friend!!   ....okay I'll stop now, really))
[06:45] arynwyn: (( Okies. And O_o to work. >.> ))
[06:45] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))

[00:25] arynwyn: <pokety?>
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Oops sorry.  was annoying the cat
[00:27] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Playin' God. Er, I mean... playin' Sims. <nodnod> That's it. <cough> Send me a message and I'll reply, it'll just take me a minute.
[00:27] arynwyn: No worries. Heyo. <huggles> Good day?
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Meh.  Told my boss I was going to quit; he said if I'll stay, he'll fire Sabrina (she who can't even remember her own bf's last name).  I told him I had an interview tomorrow (today now >.>) and I'd think about it.
 
 So if I don't get the UITS job, I'll probably stay.
[00:29] arynwyn: Ah. Well, that's good. At least your boss realizes who's better.
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah.  too bad he won't be my boss much longer. ~_~ I don't know if he's just stepping down or quitting. 
 
 How was zee day of zee Sarah?
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Also: <huggles!>
[00:31] arynwyn: <huggles> Okay. I woke up early (ish) so I'm pretty tired tonight. But I'm up for RP, of course. Also, Tim bought me Sims 2: Pets & Bon Voyage!
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Woo!  I'm kinda tired too, but I need to stick it out a bit or my schedule'll get even more wonked.  I want to be on campus around one-ish to try and get stuff done, so I'll have to up around 11:30/noon.  gives me plenty of time for RP goodness
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: not that I can, apparently, type
[00:32] arynwyn: <giggle>
[00:33] arynwyn: so, uhm... Dres & Mya?
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure sure. :)   When/where we goin' to? 
[00:34] arynwyn: Whatever you have planned. ^^
[00:35] arynwyn: The whole falling asleep thing? Question though... why would Dres need an "escort" back to Mya's house? And why her aunt?
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Propriety's sake.  Aunts are all about propriety <giggles>  
 The other option is a male family member - that works just as well.
[00:36] arynwyn: Okies. Just curious.
[00:36] arynwyn: So, you wanna start?
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure - at which point? :)
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh and who'd Dres get for a witness at their wedding? Just out of curiosity
[00:37] arynwyn: Uhm...  the party? Wherever you think is good, really. It's your baby. ^^
[00:38] arynwyn: Oh, uhm... His father, I guess.
[00:38] Chaos Angel Sox: I never touched him!  You can't prove I did!  Oh wait, you didn't mean my baby in that way, you meant....err...nevermind.
[00:38] arynwyn: <LoL> 
[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Okay engagement announcement party!  Furon does the actual announcing, with an arm around Mya next to him and Dresden on his other side.  There's a champagne toast for the couple, led by Mya's father (whose name escapes me), and the restaurant servers are being kept hopping.  Everyone wants to come up and congratulate the two of them.
 Mya: <smiles with the same practiced happiness her uncle can display.  She is glad to be able to finally wear the ring Dresden got her, and she's happy to be sitting next to him, to be able to be with him all the time now....but the party's gone on for hours now, and she's tired of the noise, the smiling, and the stifling propriety>
[00:44] arynwyn: (( Oh, and I had an idea for Ath... unless you want to continue with the guy you've made, which is cool too. But what if Furon just arranged a marriage? And they hadn't even met, so they meet and they're like, "Kay, we're getting married... I hope we like each other..." >.> ))
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We can do that.  I honestly haven't made the guy yet anyway. ^_^ ))
[00:45] arynwyn: (( <laugh> kk ))
[00:47] arynwyn: Dres: <drinks his champagne and watches the crowd, his mind elsewhere (like in bed with Mya). he's bored, but trying not to look it. plus, he's SICK of his tux. he leans in to whisper to Mya> Having a good time?
[00:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <gives him a sidelong glance, thinking for a moment, then she smiles at him> Not as good as I could be having...<she says quietly, then clears her throat> Some fresh air might be good...it's kind of stuffy in here, don't you think?
[00:51] arynwyn: Dres: <smirks and nods> I agree. <he gives his glass to a passing waiter and takes Mya's hand, slipping quickly through the crowd and to the back door>
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <pushes the back door closed behind them, falls back against the wall and tugs him back a little.  She leans against the cool stone, closing her eyes and sighing in relief> ....little better already...
[00:56] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles softly and leans in to kiss her neck, his face smoother than it ever has been (since he shaved just before the party). his hands run down her sides and he presses his body against her> How about now?
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <takes hold of him by the waistband of his pants, pulling him in tighter against her> Getting better all the time...<she doesn't even ask before starting to get his pants open>...so let's not stop now while things are...looking up, hm?
[01:00] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs quietly> Here, in an alley? You deserve so much better... <but he doesn't stop her, and his hands tug up on her dress until he catches the hem. he kisses her deeply>
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: What's the matter? <she whispers, breath hot on his cheek> Too dangerous for you? <she chuckles darkly>
[01:04] arynwyn: Dres:  <growls deep in his throat and kisses her harder, his hands pulling her dress all the way up> I think not, Lovely. <he glances quickly down both side of the alley, then finishes with his pants, lifting her up on the wall so he can push into her>
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <clings to him, and wraps her legs around him, trusting him and the wall to keep her up> You wanna see if we can stealth and stay stealthed? <she asks while she still has breath> ...consider it an...endurance test...<she would laugh but she's rapidly needing her air in her lungs instead>
[01:08] arynwyn: Dres: <grins at her and slips into stealth (which would be weird... you're suddenly having sex with no one O_o). he sets a quick pace, knowing they don't have much time, and he keeps his grunts silenced, his heavy breathing the only indication he's there>
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <vanishes as well, though she knows he can still see her; she wants to comment on being taken by No One, but air's become even more precious, and she's consumed by her need for him, digging her nails into his tux jacket as much as she dares (don't want to have to explain nail holes), running one hand up into his hair.  She can feel the cool, rough stone through her dress, contrasting against the heat of Dresden, his breath, his body, their mutual rhythmic motions.
 In one sudden, breathless second she arches away from the wall into him, her mouth open as if to cry out, but no sound escapes.  About to fall prey to gravity, she barely remembers to tighten her legs around him rather than just let go>
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((don't ask me why I went into a separate paragraph.  just happened.))
[01:16] arynwyn: (( no worries... and she doesn't break stealth? ))
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh oops - yes she does; I forgot about that in my worry about how to phrase things.))
[01:16] arynwyn: (( Heh, you wrote it very well. ^^ ))
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Except for forgetting part of the reason for doing all that description....but thank you :3 ))
[01:19] arynwyn: Dres: <feels her climax and it pushes him over the edge. he gives a few hard last thrusts and gives a final gasp before he wraps his arms around her tightly to keep either of them from falling. he pants a few moments, then lowers her to the ground> I win. <he grins and tugs up his pants, cincing the belt tightly, breaking stealth, then leaning against the wall to finish catching his breath>
[01:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <in between hard, raking breaths> Yes well...you've had better....training...Mister Mysterio....though I'd be surprised if...if they actually trained you...in "Maintaining Stealth....Through Orgasm" <she grins at him as she smoothes her dress back down>
[01:23] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and shakes his head, then leans in to kiss her deeply> We'll get you trained in no time. <he pulls her close for a tight hug, holding him to her and stroking what little sculpted hair he dares touch>
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <loops her arms around his neck, closes her eyes and thinks: This is mine.  All for me.  She snuggles in, refusing to let him go> Let's not go back in just yet...the air is nice on its own, honestly...
[01:28] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles a little to himself and nods> Of course, Lovely. Anything you want. <he rubs her back in large, slow circles, kissing her hair periodically>
 
 (( Is the aunt going to come out 'cause how's he gunna go in to the party with a sleeping Mya? ))
[01:29] arynwyn: *into
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((going back in the back door they ducked out of, not many eyes will notice them; he'll just flag down the first relative of hers he can find, probably))
 
 Mya: Mmm...'s nice...<she nods drowsily, nuzzling his neck and shoulder, still holding onto him>
[01:32] arynwyn: Dres: <he holds her for a few more minutes until he's sure she's asleep, then he bends down to gather her into his arms. he pulls the back door open and steps inside, then begins to watch for someone to help him get her back to her house>
[01:32] arynwyn: (( sweeeet... we bought Halloween candy tonight. :3 ))
[01:32] arynwyn: (( <shares> ))
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :3  Is it Nov 1st yet?  The Day of Getting Sick on Candy? More yay! <shares some of her own Halloween candy stocks>))
 Mya: <snuggle murmur>
 Random Aunt: Aww, she worn out, poor thing? <smiles at Mya in Dresden's arms>
[01:35] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles a little and nods> I might need some help getting her home. Would you mind? <shifts Mya in his arms>
[01:36] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Awesome. ))
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: Of course not.  Come on, let's duck out the back, hm?  I can't see carting her through the middle of the party.
[01:39] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and turns back to the door, pulling it open awkwardly and stepping out. he slips out of his tux jacket (also awkwardly) and manages to cover Mya with it so she won't get too cold. he smiles at the aunt> Ready when you are.
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: <closes the door behind them quietly> Her home's not far, though I'm sure you've been there at least once. <She bustles them off> Come, come, no standing in alleys for you dearies.  <as they walk> You two do make a lovely couple. <happy sigh>
[01:43] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles a little> I'm very blessed to have met her. <he kisses Mya's temple as they go> She's cetainly my better half.
[01:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: <commences with the unsolicited marital advice as they make their way back to Mya's father's home: various platitudes about communication and trust and friendship>
[01:47] arynwyn: Dres: <only half-listens as they go, nodding and commenting in appropriate places, but his mind is on Mya and getting her into her warm bed>
[01:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: <walks up the stairs and lets Dresden into the house> Do you know which room is hers, dearie?
[01:49] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head as he steps inside> No, I've never been inside here... <he glances around> Though I know which window is hers. <grin>
[01:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: <she laughs> Midnight serenades?  Ohhh to be young again...this way, dearie.  <heading upstairs>  I don't remember exactly, but I'll know her room when I see it...<peering into closed doors - 'course no one's home, and the servants are all abed>
[01:52] arynwyn: Dres: <follows her and lets her look in all the rooms, glancing in curiously over her shoulder> Thank you for helping me get her here. She exhausted herself at the party. 
[01:53] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20071018/potw_08.jpg)(Link: http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20071018/potw_08.jpg)http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20071018/potw_08.jpg  Alito: Holy crap, Guiliani!!  An entire plate of cookies!?!  I can't handle this much awesome!  
 Guiliani: Just eat the damn cookies, you pussy.))
[01:54] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[01:54] arynwyn: (( <rofl> He has such a stupid look on his face. ))
[01:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I could have them backwards.  Republicans all look the same to me.  J/k))
[01:55] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: Well of course!  Such an exciting day for her!  She must be thoroughly worn out.  Oh, this is her room!  <and what do you know? It is.  The aunt stands aside to let Dresden in>
[01:57] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and smiles to the aunt, then steps in and lays Mya down on her bed gently. he turns back to the aunt and gives his thanks, then tries to make Mya as comfortable as possible. he pulls off her shoes and covers her with a blanket>
 
 (( Is he supposed to leave? I can't remember how this works... ))
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeah he leaves and comes back.  Besides the aunt isn't going to leave him alone with her))
[01:58] arynwyn: (( Comes back when? ))
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: You'll be a wonderful husband, I'm sure. <smiling broadly at him>
 
 ((I would think the Aunt would drag him back to the party; he'd notice Furon leave, but couldn't follow him just yet; he'd duck out after a few moments, stealth, wait for Furon to leave, make sure he's good and gone, and then go back in?  Does that sound right?))
[02:00] arynwyn: (( sure ))
[02:00] arynwyn: Dres: <finally decides that Mya will be okay and steps out of the room, closing the door quietly behind him> Shall we go back, then? <smile>
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20070927/potw_08.jpg)http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20070927/potw_08.jpg
[02:01] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Aunt: <nod nod> We can pass along her "good night"s to everyone. <takes Dresden's arm and starts back in on marital advice>
[02:02] arynwyn: Dres: <leads her back to the party, reminding himself to be patient the whole way. once back inside, he disentangles himself from her and slips back over to where Furon is, nodding and giving him a small smile>
[02:03] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20070920/potw_06.jpg)(Link: http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20070920/potw_06.jpg)http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20070920/potw_06.jpg  A fun-loving crowd attempts to set the Guinness record for the largest water-gun fight in Valladolid, Spain, before the festival of the Virgin of San Lorenzo.))
[02:03] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Fun!!! ))
[02:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <looks at Dresden and nods shortly.  He looks around the crowd, hands his drink to his wife, kissing her on the cheek, whispers something to her and excuses himself>
 Selah: Oh, there he is, the future groom!  <wide smile> Dear boy, come talk to your future auntie. 
 
 ((because, in the end, if you need an obstacle/annoyance, Selah's always around....))
[02:06] arynwyn: Dres: <watches Furon go, frowning, but turns to Selah, grabbing a glass of champagne. he smiles politely and wishes he was in bed with Mya> Ah, Mrs. Duskblade ('cause I think that's their last name too?). How are you enjoying the party
[02:06] arynwyn: ?
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep, Duskblades all))
 Selah: Oh it's marvelous, don't you think so?  Furon did pick a lovely restaurant to rent out for the occasion!  I'm thinking we'll have the reception here as well, that'd be fitting, don't you think so?  Oh it'll just be ever SO nice...<babbles on about the wedding and the reception as if she were suddenly in charge of planning it...>
[02:10] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and nods, not saying anything except to interject (nicely)> If that's what Mya wants, I think it would be lovely. <he watches the crowd for any return of Furon, annoyed and a little worried. he finishes off his glass and sets it down> Please excuse me, Mrs. Duskblade. I need to use the restroom. <charming smile>
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Selah: Oh, of course, Mr. Sunwhisper.  <she almost immediately finds someone else to chatter at>
[02:12] arynwyn: Dres: <slips out the back door again and hustles back to Mya's house. before he gets there he goes into stealth and waits by the door for any sign of Furon or anyone else>
[02:12] arynwyn: (( Thought it's funny 'cause he's still supposed to be Mya's Protector... 'cause he's not reassigned yet. >.> ))
[02:12] arynwyn: *though
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya's glad to hear that. :3 ))
 
 <Long moments later, Furon stalks out of the house, straightening his jacket and smoothing his shirt.  He pauses for a moment, his back to Dresden, and looks around warily.  Seeing no one, he narrows his eyes for a moment...then continues back to the party>
[02:16] arynwyn: Dres: <watches him go, sighing silently, then, breaking the most sacred of Bloodwatcher's rules, he slips in the front door of the house. he waits for a moment to make sure no one's around, then creeps up the stairs and finds Mya's door. he's hoping she's still asleep so he pushes her door open quietly and sneaks in, looking around>
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is laying on her side, idly stroking her right wrist, sort of staring at it glassily.  Though there's nothing there but perfectly smooth and flawless skin, her finger traces the same path repeatedly.  She doesn't seem to have noticed her door being pushed open, so lost is she in thought>
[02:20] arynwyn: Dres: <closes the door quietly and stands up, breaking stealth. he looks at her in concern> Mya? Lovely? What's the matter? <he sits on the edge of the bed>
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <blinks out of her trance; she sits up to look at him> ... ... ...I don't...even know where to start...<looks down at her hands in her lap.  Her left hand holds her right loosely; the thumb sort of lightly traces the same path on her wrist>
[02:23] arynwyn: Dres: <scoots closer and pulls her into his arms, stroking her hair> Start? Well, the beginning is always a good place... <not said in a smart-ass tone>
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...the beginning...<she comments quietly>  In the beginning was a short, unattractive man of lecherous appetites who, unfortunately, was proving an obstacle to the Family.  He was too well connected and powerful to just...have him disappear.  Too many questions would have been asked.  So another way was found.  <she slides her arms around him>  I did what I was told to, but I can't say I was strong enough to do so without regret.  Of course, the very best healer was acquired.  I don't even have a scar from my attempt to remove my weakness from the family tree.  Just memories.  I'd always been fascinated by blood, but when it's your own...it's mesmerizing.
 And of course, there was Uncle Furon.  He hugged me, he told me I wasn't weak, he thanked me for doing what I'd had to do for the family...and then he told me that I wouldn't have succeeded anyway, since I'd slit my wrists the wrong way.
[02:33] arynwyn: Dres: ... ... ... <is silent a long time> I'm very sorry Mya. <he sighs and kisses her temple> Gods... <shakes his head at the thought, holding onto her tightly> I'm glad you didn't succeed. But... what made you think of all of this tonight? I mean, on the night we announce our engagement? Am I similar to this lecherous man you speak of? Are you marrying me because you've been told to? To keep me happy because I know things about your family that can't be known?
[02:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry was getting foods reply coming punctuation what punctuation ha))
[02:34] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[02:34] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ... ... ...You're nothing like he was, but...after you visited uncle's study, he...did tell me to encourage you in your interest.  Marriage was pretty much the result he wanted, and I knew that.  Not just to keep you happy and quiet, but because you were a good marriage candidate in general.  
 Please...<she looks up at him>...understand that...yes, I have been sleeping with you because it was expected of me that I'd do whatever was necessary to secure you to me....but also because I wanted to.  And our little...interlude....earlier?  That was entirely my idea.  That was the first, the only, time that I've had sex with someone purely because I wanted to, not because my uncle ordered it or implied that it should be done.  In fact, Uncle was here to yell at me for it: his spies saw us and reported back to him.  Most unladylike...and not even necessary.  <she sighs and closes her eyes, breathing in the scent of him>
[02:41] arynwyn: Dres: <his jaw clenches and he pulls away, standing. he runs a hand through his hair, uncertain what to do> ... I think I need some air. <he glances back at her and then opens the door, disappearing out into the hall. there's the sound of the front door opening and closing> 
 
 (( And thus Dres goes off to his cabin for a couple of days to think... >.> ))
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs, lays back down on her side and resumes idle tracing of where she ought to have a scar>
 
 ((uh oh.  Think happy thoughts, Dres!))
[02:43] arynwyn: (( A few days later then? ))
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure! Where?))
[02:43] arynwyn: (( Uhm... He'll probably show back up at his post, so... in town somewhere? And yes, he got someone to watch over her while he's gone. ))
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I never doubted :3 ))
 
 Mya: <sits at her favorite cafe in the Bazaar, near the fountain, wearing a full-length heather gray dress that does show a little cleavage (but nowhere near Xenoliya levels).  She toys with the engagement ring idly, letting her coffee go cold as she stares off into space>
[02:48] arynwyn: Dres: <appears behind her, reaching around to set a jewelry box and a single red rose on the table in front of her. he walks around the table and sits down across from her, smiling, though his eyes show that he's still a little hurt. he's wearing his Bloodwatcher's gear, and it looks like he hasn't shaved since the party> Hey Lovely. 
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sits up straighter and smiles at him with faint hope> Dresden...I'm so glad to see you again.  I...I'd offer to get you a coffee if you liked it here.  <she's struggling to keep from sounding either too desperate or too cool, and it's obvious in her voice.  She clears her throat>
[02:52] arynwyn: Dres: <continues to smile> I'm sorry I disappeared like that. It was wrong of me. Please, accept these gifts as an apology. And... remind me to thank your sister. <he nudges the box toward her>
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: My sister? <she looks down at the box and opens it curiously>
[02:54] arynwyn: <inside is a stunning diamond bracelet> Dres: <watches with a smile> She came out and talked to me. I didn't think my father knew where my cabin was, but apparently he does. Anyway, we had a nice chat and, well... <shrugs> Here I am.
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh....<she pulls the bracelet out and looks at it sparkle in the sunlight for a moment, then carefully settles it back in its box and looks at him> I...I'm just glad you came back.  I'm not...used to telling the truth, so I fear I'm no good at it.
[02:59] arynwyn: Dres: <reaches across the table and takes the bracelet from the box, then takes her wrist (the left one was it? that she cut?) and drapes it across it, clasping it securely> Then you'll have to work on it. <he withdraws his hands and leans back in the chair, gazing across the table at her> Mya, Lovely... I want to be with you. I love you. But if you can't be honest with me, I don't see how this is going to work. I've told you all my secrets. I even have a meeting to take you to headquarters in a couple of days. But I need to make sure you're in 100% too. 
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she cut the right one (argh, not wright) and rubs it with her left hand))
 Mya: ...<she hasn't stopped looking at him> You love me?  Really?  Even after...everything I told you?
[03:00] arynwyn: (( oops. >.> so he put it on the right one. ))
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I figured :) ))
[03:01] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Of course I do. I wouldn't have asked you to marry me if I didn't. <runs a hand through his hair and shrugs a little> Maybe I'm stupid. 
[03:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: If I thought that, I wouldn't be so glad to be marrying you...idiot. <she teases lightly.  She sighs and looks around> I'll be glad to tell you anything you want to know, but...I can't do it here.
[03:03] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Where, then? <he stands and offers his hand>
[03:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Umm...<gathers up the box and the rose as she tries to think, then drops them both with a hiss>...forgot about the thorns...
[03:05] arynwyn: Dres: <frowns and bends to gather them up, taking her hand and pulling a small bandage out of his pouch. he bandages the cut quickly and then kisses it> All better. <small smile>
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <returns the smile faintly> ...best place to talk and still keep secrets?
[03:06] arynwyn: Dres: We could go to my cabin. It's a bit of a ride, but... besides headquarters, it's the safest place I know of. <looks at her for a moment, then pulls her close for a crushing hug> I missed you. <he kisses her hair and then releases her>
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I missed you too.  I did.  And...your cabin'll be fine.  It'll give me some time to...collect my thoughts.
[03:09] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I stable my horses at my father's when I'm in the city. It's a short walk from here. <he takes her hand and leads her to the southern portion of the city. when they arrive, Dres tells a stable boy to bring out a couple of horses and a moment later, he does. he helps her up onto her horse, then mounts his own>
[03:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Should we race?
[03:10] arynwyn: Dres: <small grin> If you'd like. 
[03:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <kicks her horse into a gallop>
[03:11] arynwyn: Dres: <does likewise, calling out to her> And the stakes?
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...<calls back over her shoulder> Loser cooks dinner?
[03:13] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles and kicks his horse again> 
[03:13] arynwyn: (( who wins? ))
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm. Technically she's lighter, so her horse should go faster...and she cooked "last time" - at least, last time we RPed it.))
[03:15] arynwyn: (( sounds good. I figured Dres'd cook anyway ))
[03:15] arynwyn: (( post her winning? ))
[03:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <reigns her horse in and trots it around so she can face Dresden as he finishes a close second.  She smiles at him> I hope you didn't let me win...
[03:17] arynwyn: Dres: <stops his horse and climbs down, giving her a small smile> And if I did? <he helps her down and takes her horse's reigns, then ties them up. he tosses his key at her> Go ahead and go inside. I'll give the horses some water and be in to start dinner. <he goes to fetch a couple of water pails>
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles faintly and walks in, finger-combing her hair to try and tame it a bit.  She looks around the cabin and her smile fades as she remembers the weekend they spent here together>
[03:21] arynwyn: Dres: <follows her in a few minutes later, heading over to the kitchen> Something to drink? <he pulls out a large hunk of roasted boar from the ice box and begins to cut it into cubes> Wine? Rum? I might have something else, not sure...
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Anything's fine...<she follows him into the kitchen>...so long as it wets my throat.  <leaning against the countertops, she fidgets with the ring on her finger again> So...um...where should I start?  And, as a note, saying "the beginning" isn't as helpful as you might think...
[03:25] arynwyn: Dres: <wipes his hands and pours them each a glass of wine, then turns back to the boar without taking a drink> Start with all the lies you've told me... <he doesn't look at her and he cuts the meat with a vengeance>
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she swirls the wine in her glass then sips a little> I don't think I've lied to you...we're very careful.  Truth is always preferable, when it's possible.  I can't think of anything I've said to you that was a lie.  I mean...it's possible I did lie to you, but I can't remember doing so off-hand....
[03:28] arynwyn: Dres: <dumps the meat into a pot and pulls out potatoes, peeling them quickly> Okay, so... half-truths? Truths you've avoided telling me?
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> My original intention towards you was to find out why you were following me, what you knew about the family's business, and how likely you were to either talk about it or try and use it against us.  And then, of course, Uncle Furon decided you were a good match, and told me to...well, I told you all of this already.  <she sips her wine and sighs> ...but you know, just because I'm ordered to do something, doesn't mean I always dislike carrying the order out.
[03:35] arynwyn: Dres: <chops up the potatoes and dumps them in the pot as well, then cuts up some other vegetables> So, this whole thing... You were leading me on? Making me believe you felt something for me when you didn't really?... <he dumps them into the pot, pours some water in, adds some herbs and spices, then sets it on the stove to simmer. he pulls out a loaf of bread and cuts it in half length-wise, then puts it in the oven to toast. he finally wipes his hands and looks at her>
[03:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: No! <she says as soon as he finishes the question> I...<she sips her wine> I never faked anything with you.  Steered the conversation to topics I needed to talk about with you, but everything else was genuine.  If you were someone else, anyone else, then yes, I would've pretended to be thrilled just to see you, to enjoy simple conversation, to...to be aroused with light touches and to be in absolute ecstasy when in bed with you.  
 <she looks down at her wineglass and runs her finger around the rim> But I didn't have to pretend any of that with you.
 <she looks up at him, actually looking a little nervous (though she's actually very nervous - she's just gotten so used to keeping her emotions off her face in general)>
[03:42] arynwyn: Dres: Steered the conversations? <sighs and leans back against the counter, taking a deep drink of his wine> What information did you seduce out of me?...
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: What you knew of me and my activities on behalf of the family; why you were following me in the first place.  Beyond that, all I sought was reassurance that you wanted to be with me...but then, a lot of that reassurance was given nonverbally.  And was as much for me as for my uncle. 
[03:45] arynwyn: Dres: When we were in Furon's office, he gave you some sort of hand signal. What was it?
[03:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Hm?  Oh, the tapping on the armrest?  That was him letting me know that I'd be punished for letting someone find out that I'm anything more than a young noblelady.  Two weeks' punishment - thus the two taps.
[03:47] arynwyn: Dres: ... <takes along long drink of the wine> What was the punishment?
[03:47] arynwyn: *another
[03:48] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. >.< ))
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Intensive training, less food and only water to drink for two weeks.  <she runs a hand back through her hand> Perhaps you'd think me soft, but after two weeks of some of my uncle's best spies beating me into shape, I can't imagine what sort of training you go through at the Academy.
[03:52] arynwyn: Dres: <turns back to the stew, stirring it and tasting it. he pulls the bread out of the oven and slices it, spreading butter on each. he takes out a couple of bowls and fills them, taking them to the table> Is there anything else I should know, Mya? <he brings the bread and his own glass over> 
[03:56] arynwyn: (( eh? did I dc? >.> ))
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <walks to the table and sets her glass down, then puts a hand on his arm> I think about you all the time.  I thought about you a lot even before the weekend we spent here together, and since then it's been...nearly constant.  I really do think I love you, Dresden.  Being ordered to encourage you towards marriage is the best order I've ever gotten.  I've never been so happy to carry out my orders.
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I don't know.  I didn't see a dc))
[03:57] arynwyn: (( hm, okay ))
[03:58] arynwyn: Dres: <turns to look at her for a long moment, then he leans down to kiss her deeply, his hand touching her cheek. when he pulls away, he smiles softly at her> Promise me something?
[03:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: What's that? <she returns the soft smile, hoping>
[04:00] arynwyn: Dres: <continues to caress her cheek> Don't ever, ever lie to me. Or pull any of that hidden truths, half-truths crap. Please. Don't make me beg, though I will if I have to...
[04:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I have trouble picturing you begging. <she looks him in the eye> I promise.  Nothing but the whole truth.
[04:02] arynwyn: Dres: <kisses her again> Thank you. <he pulls out her chair> Let's eat before it gets cold.
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods and sits down> Thank you for cooking...and for giving me the chance to...talk to you again, to see you again.
[04:04] arynwyn: (( Aww. Dres has hearts floating around his head right now. <giggle> ))
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> cute! ))
[04:04] arynwyn: Dres: <reaches across for her hand> Even if you had said all the wrong things tonight, I wouldn't have left you. <shakes his head> For selfish reasons, of course, but... <shrugs and begins to eat>
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LoL> LJ Icon: "Dear God, Help me forgive my enemies -- even if the bastards don't deserve it." ))
 
 Mya: ...I hope that means at least some of what I said was "right'? <eats> Ooo, this isn't half-bad!
[04:06] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[04:07] arynwyn: Dres:  <chuckles> Thanks. And yes, what you said was right. Well, as right as it could have been I guess. 
[04:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'm sorry to have started this relationship on a footing like that, but...to be fair, if you hadn't been ordered to watch me, we wouldn't be where we are now either.
[04:10] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I suppose so. <he eats for a moment> So, I expect you're not giving up your assassination bit? I refuse to let you peacify anyone by sex, so killing is the only option...
[04:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Seduction is off my list of available tools...for anyone but you. <smile> You can rest assured that if Uncle Furon found out I was even trying to seduce someone else, he'd throw the book at me.  But...unless I'm incapacitated for some reason, such as being ill, pregnant or you just putting your foot down against it, I'll still have to do anything else the family requires.
 It was the high point of finding a marital candidate...before you came along. <eat drink eat eat>
[04:17] arynwyn: Dres: <raises an eyebrow> Oh, so if I don't want my wife sneaking off to kill then I'm allowed to stop that? <he thinks on this> Well, I don't suppose it'd be fair of me to ask you to stop your duties when I'm not giving up the brotherhood. What if... I wanted to go with you on your jobs, just as, well, protection? Think Furon'd allow that?
[04:17] arynwyn: (( Welcome back. O_o ))
[04:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((?? I didn't realize I'd disconnected...))
[04:17] arynwyn: (( Yep. Said you went offline. ))
[04:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not that I'm surprised.  AIM's being wonky lately >.>))
 
 Mya: You'd have to talk with him about that, but...yes, if at any point you wanted me to stop doing it, you could ask my uncle to stop giving me missions. <eats, chews, swallows> He might want to argue with you about it, but in the end, if you wouldn't change your mind, then it's your decision.  The family's very traditional in that sense.
[04:21] arynwyn: Dres: <takes a bite and watches her as he chews> But you want to continue doing  your missions? I think you've not had enough options in your life, Mya. And now you have all the options you could ever want. I'm not going to be an overbearing husband. It's your life. Do you or do you not want to continue working for your uncle?
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I want to help my family.  I know my uncle seems...controlling, but that's what's necessary sometimes.  And I don't mind doing these jobs.  It's what I've trained to do since I was old enough to walk without falling down.
[04:24] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Alright. <he finishes up his stew and grabs a piece of bread> And what do you want to do about children? I mean, I know it's early; we're not even married yet. But I'm curious.
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she laughs> Getting a head start on all the "fun" discussions, hm?  <she chews her food thoughtfully> Not just my uncle, but my entire family will sort of expect it from me.  Though I think...eventually, I'd like a kid or two.
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<whaps online Gradebook> I want my midterm grades!! ;__; ))
[04:28] arynwyn: Dres: I figured, but when? As soon as we're married? A few years from now? Ten years? <smiles across at her>
[04:28] arynwyn: (( Aww. <huggles> ))
[04:29] arynwyn: (( You know you're getting an A though. =P ))
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she giggles> You think we can control it so much?  Oh, granted, there are ways to lessen the likelihood...but I'd honestly hoped to stop taking those precautions.  The methods recommended to me don't taste very good. <she makes a "blech" face>  So I'd figured once I was married, I'd stop drinking the stuff, and leave it up to the gods.
[04:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> I can't imagine why I wouldn't be.  I've missed some stuff, but it was pretty much all extra credit.  I missed 2 lectures and a lab, but the head AI says they're all excused absences since I emailed to let her know about them (so they don't count against me), and I did ace the hell out of my test.))
[04:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I just want the satisfaction of seeing the "A" there. ^_^))
[04:32] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and nods> Alright. <he finishes up his bread and pours them more wine, then leans back with his glass in his hand> Anything you want to ask me, Lovely?
[04:32] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> I understand. ))
[04:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <interlaces her fingers and uses her hands as a perch for her chin> Why do you love me? <grins> I prefer getting right to the point.
[04:35] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs and takes a sip of his wine> How could I not love you? You're beautiful, deadly, amazing in bed, intelligent... <shrugs a little, grinning across at her> And what about me?
[04:35] arynwyn: (( Welcome back? ))
[04:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I guess....bad AIM. >_>))
[04:36] arynwyn: (( <huggles and clings> ))
[04:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I'd substitute "scruffily handsome" for beautiful and move "intelligent" up the list some...not that "amazing in bed" isn't true.  I swear, it's like you read my mind... <smiles, shakes her head a little, and drinks the rest of her wine>
[04:38] arynwyn: Dres: <grins and stands, collecting the bowls and other dishes> So, do you need to be home anytime soon? 'Cause that slinky little... thing... is still here, in my top drawer in the bedroom. <he grins back at her over his shoulder as he starts washing the dishes> If you wanted to, y'know... have some fun before I took you back. 
[04:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> "If" he says...as if there was a question. <smiles, stands and asks> So is that your way of saying I should go "freshen up" again while you do dishes? <frowns> Though you cooked, so really I should clean up....
[04:41] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> Your hands will never touch dishwater, Lovely. <smiles back at her> Go "freshen up"... <he turns back to the dishes> I'll be in in a minute.
[04:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> Yes, dear.  <and heads into the bedroom>
 
 
 ((Your fault, btw...))
[04:42] arynwyn: (( My fault? O_o ))
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I was all sleepy and then you got me more awake with RP :P I ought to be going to sleep.))
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((but I'm not as tired as I was.  Your fault.))
[04:43] arynwyn: (( sorry! =(  ))
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh I'm teasing you.  Stop it ^_~ ))
[04:43] arynwyn: (( Heh, okay. So... more RP or d'you wanna stop? ))
[04:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I got a bunch of stuff to do on campus so I should've been in bed by now, but I doubt I'd be able to sleep right now.  Though at most I've got another hour before I should at least get some rest >.>))
[04:46] arynwyn: (( okies. so, uhm... you gunna relax with Sims or do you wanna try something with RP? I feel bad that I kept you up. >.< ))
[04:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Silly.  My choice. :P  Besides, I also have Dreamgirls keeping me up.  I love the dresses in the "Steppin' to the Bad Side" number, and I especially love all the hot guys in tight black in the disco version of "One Night Only" :3 ))
[04:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Never seen it. ))
[04:48] Chaos Angel Sox: (( I'd seen it when it first came out on DVD, but suddenly I'm jonesin' on it.  I bought it previously viewed tonight because I just kept renting it.  For free, granted, but now it's not taking up one of my rental slots and I don't have to worry about freakin' late fees. ^_^; ))
[04:49] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Nice. ))
[04:49] arynwyn: (( dootedoo... make a decision! ))
[04:50] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm not going to abandon you for Sims. :P 
[04:50] arynwyn: Okies. <huggles>
[04:50] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugses>
[04:50] arynwyn: Hm, so... who to RP quickly?
[04:51] Chaos Angel Sox: married in a hurry, married in a hurry, please, invite me to the bris.
[04:51] arynwyn: ?
[04:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Robin Hood: Men in Tights ^_^
[04:51] Chaos Angel Sox: RP in a hurry, RP in a hurry...
[04:51] arynwyn: Never seen that either. >.<
[04:52] arynwyn: we could to Ath, but I dunno if you're too tired to come up with a guy outta your ass...
[04:52] Chaos Angel Sox: I can do that. :)  Spontaneous characters are fun.
[04:52] arynwyn: Mkay. So, which way are we doing it? I'm up for either, honestly.
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: So am I, so since she's your chara, it's your call. :)
[04:53] arynwyn: Let's go ahead with your Ms. T thing. 
[04:54] arynwyn: Ath: <shows up at 12:45, just as she said she would, after eating a light lunch. she steps in the specified room and leans against the wall, fighting her nerves>
[04:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ...could they be the same guy? ^_^ She's getting into heavy rivalry with this guy when it's arranged she'll marry him?
[04:54] arynwyn: (( Oh, yes! GENIUS! ))
[04:54] Chaos Angel Sox: (("Given but two options, seek then a third."))
[04:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((color, color...))
[04:55] arynwyn: (( I totally love that idea. You are amazing! <extra chocolately lesbian teddy medics for you!> ))
[04:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woooo!! <pulls out the whipped cream and shares!>))
[04:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Regular blue, methinks? I don't think anyone's normal blue...))
[04:55] arynwyn: (( YAY! <munch munch munchity munch!> ))
[04:55] arynwyn: (( Sure thing. ))
[04:56] arynwyn: (( Keira is blue, but at this point she's not a common char. ))
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((mmmm chocolate lesbian teddy medic munching.... <giggles>  Oh right, forgot about Keira. >.>  Well, as previously mentioned, colors are just going to have to be shared ^_^;; we're running out of visible colors.))
[04:56] arynwyn: (( <giggles> No worries. ))
[04:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((what's Ath's hair color again?  Oh, and I have to remember to ask you a question I had about Mai's upcoming baby.))
[04:59] arynwyn: (( Black. ))
[04:59] arynwyn: (( And go for it. ))
[05:02] Chaos Angel Sox: <About 5 minutes after she arrives, a young man walks in.  He has golden-brown hair (think Kat's hair color) that goes to his shoulder blades, a chiseled jaw, and he's wearing standard shadow priest robes.  He blinks in surprise and bows> Forgive me, miss, but I believe you're in the wrong room.
 
 ((Well, I'm thinking, all this moonwell water's going to have some sort of effect on the baby - what if it was born with blue eyes, naturally highborne?  But because of Mai's struggle and stress through the pregnancy, the baby can be more easily addicted to magic than a normal blood elf or highborne elf?))
[05:03] arynwyn: (( Sweeet. I love it. :-D ))
[05:03] arynwyn: Ath: <polite smile and bow> I'm a new student Ms. Terrian is taking on. <she doesn't offer a name> Are you her other student?
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: (( :3 yay!  ...and just 'cause I need to say it, you know you can say if you don't like an idea, right?))
 
 <he frowns as he straightens up> Her "other" student?  I'm her best student, actually.  Perhaps she means for me to teach you until you're...well, ready for her level of instruction?
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh, crap he needs a name...))
[05:06] arynwyn: (( Yep. :-D ))
[05:07] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow> She said no such thing. I think she intends on teaching me herself. <she eyes him over> The "best", you say? <smirk> I see.
[05:09] Chaos Angel Sox: You doubt me?  <his tone says that's a very dangerous thing to do>
[05:10] arynwyn: Ath: <steps over to him, wearing Mya's seductive smile. she walks around him, looking him over> You know nothing of me. What if I am, truly, better? I'm not saying I am, but... what if I am? <she stops right in front of him and looks up at him, an eyebrow raised and a smirk on her face (still seductive though)>
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <he arches an eyebrow at her> Oh I'm sure you're better at some things than I am....than I will ever be.  I don't think I'll ever quite get the opportunity to develop my ability to su..
 Ms.T: Stop it. <she says calmly.  She's holding her resigned kitty, Mr. Tabbikins, in her arms> I do favor competition, and frankly, Mr. Sul'nova, your ego could use some tempering.
 <He blinks at his teacher incredulously> You're saying this...girl is a worthy rival?
 Ms.T: What have I told you about questioning me, Mr. Sul'nova?  <she leans against the wall and pets the cat>
[05:19] arynwyn: Ath: <smirks and steps back, turning to Ms T and giving a small bow, then retreats to a corner to wait for instruction>
[05:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <seems to have fallen asleep again; she's even stopped petting the cat>
 Mr. Sul'nova: <looks Ath over when he thinks she's not looking>
[05:21] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow slightly and gives him a sweet smile> 
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr. Sul'nova: <ends his examination of her with a disapproving look and yawns>
 Ms.T: <still apparently asleep> Well, since you're both so ready to go for each other's throats, have at.
 Mr. Sul'nova: Hm? <returning his attention to their teacher>
 Ms.T: Attack.  Each other.  The great thing about training in the priesthood is that you don't have to worry about killing your opponent, hm?  I'm right here to resurrect whichever poor fool doesn't protect his or herself well enough.  So, go for it.  We'll see who, if either of you, is left standing at the end of things.
 Mr. Sul'nova: <clearly thinks she's lost her mind>
[05:25] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.somethingpositive.net/arch/sp10232007.gif)(Link: http://www.somethingpositive.net/arch/sp10232007.gif)http://www.somethingpositive.net/arch/sp10232007.gif the pink kitty in the bgd is Choo-Choo Bear))
[05:25] arynwyn: Ath: <bubbles instantly, then quickly casts SW: Pain on him>
[05:27] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr. Sul'nova: <winces and whirls on her> Well, so much for being a gentleman then...((And honestly I do *not* know enough priest spells... ^_^; so...um...he's fighting back? Rawr!))
 Ms.T: <Laughs> See?  The girl, at least, knows how to obey orders.  Got you a good one there, and with such a basic spell too...
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I love the sign he's holding in his mouth.  Pussy <3s Pussy! <giggles>))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( Who's gunna win? Or are we gunna call it a draw? Or is Ms T gunna interrupt? ))
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He looks so cute too!  <cough> Oh she's not going to interrupt unless someone ends up dead.  Hmm....draw due to sheer exhaustion?))
[05:29] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okay. ))
[05:29] arynwyn: <so... ten minutes later, Ath is panting and wanting to stop, and she's in a lot of pain, but she's not gunna be the first to give, damn it...>
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr.Sul'nova: <is down on one knee, breathing heavily, a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead.  He's keeping an eye on this intruding girl, trying to save what little mana he has left for a shield in case she throws something at him again...and prays she doesn't do it any time in the next few seconds>
 Ms.T: <sighs> Okay, it's a draw.  I declare it a draw because, frankly, I need another cigarette.  You two: lay down and rest.  As amusing as this has been, you're both useless for practical instruction now.  <she leaves to go smoke>
 Mr. Sul'nova: <tries to lower himself gently to the mat (the floor being padded), but does end up sort of falling over really.  He wishes he'd been more graceful and less obviously weak about it, but he's happily laying down on his back now, and he's not moving for anything>
[05:34] arynwyn: Ath: <sinks to her knees gratefully and sits there a minute, then crawls over to lean against the wall. she says quietly, almost inaudibly> ...good duel. 
[05:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr. Sul'nova: <nods as best he can> ...I guess you're good for more than flirting.  I admit to being surprised.
[05:37] arynwyn: Ath: <small smile> I lived on my own for a year, I had to be good. I'm a little out of shape though, obviously. <she closes her eyes and leans her head back against the wall> And you call that flirting? <peeks at him, an eyebrow raised>
[05:38] arynwyn: (( Sul'nova is a SWEET name, btw. ))
[05:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Thank you. Took me for freakin' ever to come up with. ^_^; ))
 Mr. Sul'nova: Most women are only good at flirting and shopping....and only good for flirting and...well, I suppose I shouldn't finish that.  I should show my mistress's "other" student some respect, I suppose.
[05:41] arynwyn: Ath: <light smile> That would  be nice. And some women are better than just for flirting with, I assure you.
[05:41] arynwyn: (( Grr ))
[05:41] arynwyn: (( con't ))
[05:42] arynwyn: Ath: Athame Silverdawn. A... pleasure?... to meet you. <she brushes some hair from her face>
[05:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr. Sul'nova: <has his eyes closed while he focuses on breathing> So glad you think so.  Lyranon Sul'nova.
[05:46] arynwyn: (( Ath: <crawls over to cuddle with him, 'cause cuddling with a guy sounds so nice to her right now...> )) 
 
 Ath: Lyranon... I like that name. Forgive my ignorance, but... Sul'nova, is that a noble family? I'd know, but I lost my memory a little over a year ago and haven't recovered it fully yet.
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: <blink> ...so if you're not good for flirting with, you're good for...the other reason?))
 
 Lyr: <laughs> Oh how imaginative of you, really.  So creative.  Do you plan to write novels?
[05:48] arynwyn: (( Ath: ... I just want to CUDDLE, damn it! Is that so much to ask for?! <sulk> ))
 
 Ath: ... <frowns> Nevermind. <she crosses her arms across her chest and closes her eyes again>
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: <rolls his eyes> Oh fine, fine.))
 
 Lyr: Thank the light, she's finally quiet. 
 Ms.T: <from the doorway> Well, glad to see we're making friends.  Alright, as soon as you can leave, get out.  I want to you to think about what you could've done better and what your opponent did well.  We'll discuss them tomorrow.  Same time, same place, you know the drill.  <picks up Mr. Tabbikins and leaves>
[05:50] arynwyn: Ath: <pushes herself to her feet and tugs on her cloak, silent and annoyed with this boy>
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <gets to his feet at the same time and dusts himself off, ignoring her presence.  He heads for the door, opens it, and, rather than holding it for her, lets it fall shut behind him>
[05:52] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and follows him out, glaring at his back>
[05:53] arynwyn: (( <huggles> Nighty night time? ))
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep.  I'm starting to feel tired again; here's hoping I can get some actual sleepies.))
[05:54] arynwyn: (( sweet. Sleep well! when will you be on tomorrow? ))
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm....assuming I don't nap when I get back from interview...I should be back by 3:30/4 PM my time.  This is also assuming I get the other things I need to get done on campus done in an hour. >.> ))
[05:55] arynwyn: (( mkay. then I'll get on after I get up and check if you're on. ))
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk :3 <huggleses>))
[05:56] arynwyn: (( <huggles> happy dreamings! Dres'll be there for yah. <giggle> ))
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((And Jaes for you ^_~ ))
[05:56] arynwyn: (( :3 Yay ))
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Jaes brings chocolate covered lesbian teddy medics> Jaes: OKay I have NO idea what these are, but I was told I should bring them....))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( <giggles> SWEET. <pounces Jaes> ))
[05:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> All too easy..... g'night! morning.  whatever.  It's almost morning where you are....kind of >.> ))
[05:57] arynwyn: (( night! ))
[05:58] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Thu Oct 25 05:58:03 2007.
[16:02] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Thu Oct 25 16:02:24 2007.
[16:50] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles>
[16:50] arynwyn: Hey. <huggles>
[16:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Ended up doing other errands after all the stuff, and then I ran into an ex-co-worker of mine from Wal-Mart and gave him a ride home. :)  Also, I bought more Halloween candy. 
 How's you?
[16:51] arynwyn: Nice. Eh... I'm not so great. Couldn't get to sleep last night and then woke up this morning from terrible (a lame one and then a really bad one) nightmares. I'm tired, and hungry. But I'm glad you're here. Let me close out Sims really quick.
[16:52] arynwyn: Okay.
[16:53] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles> I'm sorry there was terrible lameness :(
[16:53] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Cacking and pleaning. Er... packing and cleaning. Yeah, that's it.
[16:53] arynwyn: Me too.
[16:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Cacking and pleaning <giggles>
[16:53] arynwyn: =P
[16:55] Chaos Angel Sox: sorry - was figuring out when I absolutely had to pay my bursar bill by >.>
[16:57] arynwyn: It was about this woman; she was house sitting, kind of. It was like she was waiting for this bad guy to show up... I dunno. She waited all night, but he didn't show, and then, when the sun was coming up (and there were windows all around, so she was kind of blinded), she looked around as best as she could, and there was suddenly a body hanging from the (uhm, so the house was two stories and the main room, the one she was in, had a vaulted ceiling, so the railing was for the second story hallway, make sense?) railing. She screamed, of course, and then went to the body. But the person hadn't died from the hanging, but by strangling (which was the bad guy's M.O.) so she freaked out. And then suddenly, there he was. So she ran through the house to the front door with him chasing her... and she got to the front door, which was locked, of course, only there were 5 locks. And the last one she could barely get unlocked... and I woke up then. 
[16:57] arynwyn: Ah, no worries.
[16:59] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O <huggles, hides you from the rabid strangler and offers to you Smarties, Tootsie Rolls or Blow Pops>
[16:59] arynwyn: <huggles back and takes one of each> was scary. 
[16:59] Chaos Angel Sox: I keep dreaming about infecteds >.>
[16:59] arynwyn: But, on a lighter note... I have something semi-interesting to RP.
[16:59] arynwyn: What is an infected? >.>
[17:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay for RP! :D
 
 Infected = zombies from 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later.  They're fast, not like regular, shuffling zombies.  And they don't sit there and eat you all, they pretty much just tear some chunks out of you and run off, which is pretty stupid, when you think about it.  But being bitten by an infected makes you infected - getting any of their bodily fluids mixed with any of yours gets you infected too.  One guy in the first movie got a drop of infected blood in his eye >_<  You turn into an infected Really quickly too.  So it's all:
 
 Infected: RAWR!
 You: Ack! <run!>
 Infected: <runs after you, catches you, takes a big chunk out of your neck>
 You: Aaaaaaa!  
 Infected: <runs off>
 You: <are now Infected as well>
 Your Friend: Are you okay?
 You (Infected): RAWR!
[17:03] arynwyn: Oh dear. >.<
[17:03] Chaos Angel Sox: I don't know why I keep dreaming about infecteds.  >.>  It's been awhile since I saw the last movie.
 
 Anyways - RP? :3
[17:03] arynwyn: Sure thing.
[17:03] arynwyn: So, Dres told Mya that today is the day to meet the head of the order...
[17:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh and if I get the UITS job, I won't be able to sit and chat with you on AIM while I work.  They have a "No Chat" rule.  ;__; 
 
 Oooo!  Should she get spruced up then? :)
[17:04] arynwyn: Aww. Lame.
[17:04] arynwyn: And no. He told her to wear, uhm... roguish clothes. >.>
[17:04] arynwyn: Nobility means nothing to him, ability means everything.
[17:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah I know. >.> 
 Maybe we can email back and forth though? ^_^
 
 He wants her to wear her rogue gear?  Okee.  Ninja'd up she be ^_^
[17:05] arynwyn: Sure! Yay emails. Oh, I should give you my gmail acct.
[17:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah! I think Google chat counts as being bad in their book, but we can still do the emails :3 
[17:06] arynwyn: Dres: <shows up in his order gear and taps on the front door lightly> 
 
 (( Oh, we gotta RP Ath coming home from her first day. <laugh> ))
[17:06] arynwyn: (( Ah, there's a google chat? O_o ))
[17:06] arynwyn: (( Oh, and it's just (Link: mailto:arynwyn@gmail.com)arynwyn@gmail.com ))
[17:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> Yep yep!  and yeah, there's a Gmail chat at least.  Is Dres tapping on Mya's dad's front door then?))
[17:07] arynwyn: (( Yeah. Wherever he lives. ))
[17:07] arynwyn: *she
[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <butler answers door and eyes Dresden for a moment before letting him in> Miss Myanara is in her room, sir.
[17:09] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and heads upstairs, going down the hall, nodding to Ath who peeks out her door and gives him a small smile, then taps on Mya's door> Lovely? You ready? We need to go...
[17:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Come in. <she's tugging her remaining boot on> Sorry, I was stuck with Aunt Selah.  Should I be bringing weapons?
[17:12] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head after he pushes the door open> No need. You've got me. <he grins and steps over to kiss her> You won't be fighting, it's just to prove you're not some trophy wife. 
 
 (( Is she wearing a mask? ))
[17:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She has one with her but she's not wearing it yet))
 
 Mya: So I should remove all my concealed daggers and wires and such then? <smiles innocently>
[17:14] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> Wires? They're probably not a good idea. Keep any concealed daggers you want. They're not going to search you. 
[17:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs and produces a few coils of garroting wire.  She tucks them in her nightstand drawer and smiles> Okay.  Should we go then?  And will I need my mask?
[17:17] arynwyn: Dres: No mask. <smile> Part of this trip is so the doorman learns your face. <which he touches gently with a gloved hand> Let's go. <he leads her out of the room and out of the house>
[17:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: And so I learn where you'll be squirrelled away.  And I promise not to tell my uncle...or my sister....where it is.
[17:20] arynwyn: Dres: <turns to look at her as they walk briskly through the city> You can't tell anyone. <shakes his head> If you did, both our heads would be served to Prince Kael'thas. It would be... beyond bad. <he takes her hand and squeezes it> We're almost there. 
[17:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: My lips are sealed.  And if you doubt that, I'm sure you can think of ways to occupy my lips so they can't talk, hm? <grinning at him>
[17:24] arynwyn: Dres: <grins back at her, then turns them down a dark alley. it's dirty, smelly, and there's a homeless person apparently napping. Dres leans in to whisper> That's a guard. There's always someone posted there. <he nods to man who makes no indication that he sees, then leads her down past him to a small door>
[17:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <notes the alley's location, where everything is, and nods to the "homeless" man as well.  She makes sure to stay near Dresden, not out of fear but to make sure it's obvious that "I'm with him.">
[17:28] arynwyn: Dres: <taps three times on the door, and the eye-slit opens. two eyes peer out at them for a moment, then the door opens slowly. Dres takes Mya's hand and steps inside, pulling her after. the room they enter is small, and a couple of people are lounging around. the man behind the door is short and fat and he eyes Mya over lecherously. Dres narrows his eyes at him> Keep your eyes to yourself, Brannigan. 
[17:29] arynwyn: (( sorry, keep getting distracted by Gilmore Girls. ))
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is okay.  I keep getting distracted by food type thoughts))
[17:30] arynwyn: (( <laughs and offers Cheddar Jack Cheez-its> ))
[17:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns at "Brannigan"; she ponders pulling a dagger out, but decides threatening random people should be done on Dresden's discretion for now>
[17:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooo :) Thankee ^_^))
[17:34] arynwyn: <the man grunts and turns back to the door, ignoring them now> Dres: Come on. <he pulls Mya to the right and leads her down a long flight of steps that end in a long hallway. there are doors all along the corridor> Okay. On the right <he indicates the first door> is the training hall. First door on the left is the men's dormitory. Don't go in. If you're looking for me and you need to know if I'm in there, either ask a guy to go in after me or, worse comes to worst, knock. The next door on the left is the women's dormitories. This place is the safest in the city. If I tell you to go hide, you need to come here. 
[17:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods and, pointing at doors> Training Hall, Men's Dorm, Women's Dorm.  Don't go poking around in the men's bedroom, got it. <she grins at him>
[17:37] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and smiles at her, then leads her to the end of the hall to another closed door> And this... is The Phoenix. <he taps on the door lightly and waits>
[17:37] arynwyn: Dres: Oh, and refer to him as sir, please. It'll look bad on me otherwise.
[17:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry - getting me a Halloween LJ icon :3 ))
 
 Mya: As if I'd say anything else. <sniffs as if insulted>
[17:39] arynwyn: (( Nice! ))
[17:40] arynwyn: Dres: <kisses her cheek quickly before the door swings open. before them stands an older man (old as in late 30s) in a long black robe. he looks them each over and then returns to his desk>
[17:40] arynwyn: (( Drat. ))
[17:41] arynwyn: Dres: <kisses her cheek quickly before the door swings open>
 Phoenix: <before them stands an older man (old as in late 30s) in a long black robe. he looks them each over and then returns to his desk> You married your charge? <sits down and looks over at Dres with an eyebrow raised>
 Dres: <smiles and nods> Yeah, funny story actually-
 Phoenix: Sit. <motions to the chairs in from of his desk>
 Dres: <clears his throat and nods, then leads Mya over to the chairs>
[17:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sits as ordered, smiling at The Phoenix (cue dramatic music!) briefly and then at Dresden (not so briefly this time)>
[17:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((AIM no like flashy for some reason - and I'm not wearing my headphones >.> ))
[17:48] arynwyn: Phoenix: <he pulls out a couple of pieces of parchment> You <to Mya> need to sign these. Oaths of secrecty. <he is looking at her intently, as if he could control her mind to think, "Yes, I will obey..."; he turns to Dres after he hands her the papers> You requested a schedule change. In order to do so you will either accept a demotion or fight for your promotion. Tonight.
 Dres: <glances at Mya> Who would I be fighting?
 Phoenix: <smirks> Keira Vel'Rannian.
[17:48] arynwyn: (( Dun dun DUUUUN ))
[17:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <starts reading the papers as soon as The Phoenix gives them to her; when she hears Keira's name, she lowers the parchments and looks at Dresden in concern...and curiosity>
[17:53] arynwyn: Dres: <frowns and thinks a moment, then leans over to say softly to May> I can't accept a demotion, I hope you understand that. <he sighs and turns back to the Phoenix> I will fight Keira.
 Ph: <smirks and nods> I thought as much. She's waiting in the training room for you. <he stands and heads to the door> When you're finished with the papers, just leave them on the desk. <and he disappears>
[17:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sets the papers down on the desk> I wouldn't expect you to accept a demotion.  ...<she looks at the papers, yet to be signed> Are spectators allowed at these things?
[17:55] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Do you want to watch?... 
[17:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> I promise not to interfere....of course, I'm assuming that one doesn't need to kill one's superior to get ahead here...? <she says in a "Please tell me I'm correct in my assumption" tone>
[17:58] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> No. Why would we kill our betters? <he kisses her temple and stands> And yes, Keira is better than me. <he pulls out his swords and looks the blades over> Finish the papers and we'll go down.
[18:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <breathes a sigh of relief, finishes reading the secrecy oaths and signs with a flourish> I do hope there are healers around here though...
[18:02] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> Not really. Keira can heal, but by the end of the duel, she'll be spent. <gives her a tight smile> I'll be fine. Come on. <he leads her down the hall to the training room and steps inside. the room is large, and empty at this time of night, save The Phoenix, Keira and one or two who've come to watch the duel. swords, polearms and axes line the walls and there's armor scattered about. Dres nods to Keira>
 Keira: <looks over as they enter, eyeing Mya over disdainfully and smirking at Dres> Come to play, Dres?
[18:05] arynwyn: (( oh, and did I mention that Keira is in love with Dres? <giggle> ))
[18:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow at Keira, but says nothing.  She finds a spot against a wall where she can see the combatants and be out of the way, eyeing the weaponry>
 
 ((Oh dear. ^_^; That'll cause some...problems.))
[18:06] arynwyn: (( <grin> Exactly. Though she had/has no intentions of doing anything. She's not like that. ))
[18:10] arynwyn: Dres: Let's do this. <he readies his weapons, not bothering to slip into stealth. the fight is a LOT of clashing steel (as they're both good enough to parry almost all the moves) and some blood. at one point, as Dres raises his sword to come down on Keira, she swings around and her great sword catches him in the ribs, just under his arm, and there's so much strength in the blow that it throws Dres across the room. he scrambles to his feet, badly wounded and fighting the pain, and, gritting his teeth against the pain, reenters without a second thought. the battle ends with Keira throwing the fight: she purposely dodges slowly, allowing Dres to get in under her guard. he presses his sword against her throat and they freeze. she smirks at him and drops her sword with a crash>
 Keira: Well done. <she's very close to him, their faces only inches away, and she looks into his eyes. for a moment, it's almost like she's going to kiss him, but then she backs away, using the last of her mana to give them each a little healing>
[18:11] arynwyn: (( blargle. "badly wounded and fighting the pain, and, gritting his teeth against the pain," >.< change around accordingly. ))
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <the only time she's really worried is the blow that tosses him....well, and That Look, though for a different reason.  When she backs away, Mya eases down.  She hurries over to Dresden> Are you badly hurt? <because asking if he's hurt at all is obviously a waste of time>
[18:16] arynwyn: Dres: 'm fine. <he coughs a little blood but wipes it away, then turns to The Phoenix>
 Ph: Well done. <he smirks at Keira, then disappears out of the room>
 Keira: <to Mya> Get him to a priest. <she disappears as well>
 Dres: <sheaths his weapons and leans against a wall.  he's pretty badly beaten up. he catches his breath, then turns to Mya> Let's get you home, Lovely. <pushes off the wall (leaving a stain of blood) and heads to the door>
[18:17] arynwyn: (( Tim's home O_o ))
[18:18] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Why for with the O_o face?))
 
 Mya: <nods> Home is good.  You need to spend more time with my sister anyway....<she ducks under one of his arms (thus hoisting it over her shoulder) and wraps the other around him carefully>
[18:20] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles a little> I meant you, not me. I'm fine. <kisses her temple>
 
 (( Surprised is all. ))
[18:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Mmhm.  You're fine...and you still need to come see my sister, regardless.
[18:22] arynwyn: Dres: <stops protesting and walks back slowly with her>
 
 (( Ath's in her room ))
[18:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <gets him home then decides, eh, don't want to to ruin Aileth's sheets.  She takes him into her room and helps him onto her bed> Let me make sure she's decent and feeling up for a social visit, hm?
 <the maid sighs and starts mopping up the occasional blood on the floor from their passing; she seems to be used to this>
[18:26] arynwyn: Dres: <half-collapses on her bed with a grunt. he's looking pale from bloodloss> 
 
 Ath: <is at her desk, reading a book on the Temple>
[18:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <hurries to Ath's door and knocks a little too quickly> Sis?
[18:28] arynwyn: Ath: Hm? <doesn't look up from her book> 
[18:28] arynwyn: (( oh, door is open ))
[18:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Dresden's with me and he's gotten a little banged up, though he keeps insisting he's fine.  Is there a way you can heal him without making a big deal over it, for the sake of his fragile male ego? <this is, of course, said so that he can't hear it the next room over>
[18:31] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ...argh.  food...Joe said he might order pizza for dinner but...he's asleep...and not likely to wake up soon....argh!))
[18:32] arynwyn: Ath: <sets her book down and stands, turning to her sister> Healing? You know healing isn't my forte... <she steps out of her room and peeks in at Dres, frowning> 
[18:32] arynwyn: (( oh no. >.< ))
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It's more yours than it is mine.  <she ducks back into her room and starts rooting around in a desk drawer> I have bandages here somewhere...that should help...
[18:35] arynwyn: Ath: <steps in as well> Hello Dresden. <she sits on the edge of the bed next to him> Did Mya tell you I've started studying at the Temple? I don't suppose you'd let me practice a couple spells on you, would you? <she smiles and, before he can answer, casts a couple of strong healing spells on him>
 Dres: <his breathing eases considerably and he chuckles> Well played, Aileth. <he sits up, looking stronger, though still pale> Thank you.
[18:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs in relief> Something to eat? or drink?  I can bring up something for all of us.  Kitchen won't even know it's gone. <grin>
[18:38] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I should probably eat something. Just bread. Maybe some milk, if that's not too much?
 Ath: <smiles> I've already eaten. Unless you two need anything else, I'm going to go back to my book.
[18:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <hugs Ath and whispers> Thank you SO much.  <she raises her voice to just audible> Men are so impossible to deal with sometimes.  <she flashes a grin at Dres briefly> Going to get some bread and milk then. <smiles at her sister again, squeezing her hand gratefully>
[18:42] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs softly and nods, whispering back> Of course. Let me know if he needs more healing. <she squeezes Mya's hand back and slips back into her room>
 
 Dres: Hey! I'm not impossible... usually. <he grins back, then lays back down and closes his eyes>
[18:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <stealths down into the kitchen, grabs the necessary supplies and sneaks back upstairs - not that the kitchen wouldn't let her have whatever she wanted; it's just more fun that way.  She drops stealth just outside her room, and carries in a tray with a pitcher of milk, two glasses, a big chunk of bread and another chunk of cheese and a knife on it.  She sets the tray on a table, pours a glass of milk and sets it on the nightstand next to him>
 
 ((I'm thiiiiisss close to ordering pizza anyway - he'll probably want to order from Aver's or Papa John's when he wakes up anyway :P I want good pizza.))
[18:46] arynwyn: Dres: <opens his eyes and smiles at her, then sits up.  he takes the glass of milk and downs it quickly, wiping his mouth after> Mmm. Good. <he slices the cheese and the bread and makes a little sandwich, then offers it to her> 
[18:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You need the food more than I do.  <she takes the knife away from him> No more sharp objects for you tonight.  <and slices some cheese to munch on>
[18:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> D'you have money for pizza? If so, I say go for it. ))
[18:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well...the joint account has money for pizza...))
[18:48] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs and eats the sandwich, then another two> S'good cheese.
[18:48] arynwyn: (( Ah. <giggle> Joe won't be mad, will he? ))
[18:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <chuckles> Glad you like it.  So...you're promoted now? 
 
 ((I don't think he'd be mad, but...he's going to help me pay my bursar bill, so I don't want to push it.  I have a Cheap Frozen Pizza I can throw in anyway...))
[18:50] arynwyn: (( Ah. Hm. >.< Wake him up? >.> ))
[18:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No.  he's been up all day.  Part of me wants to anyway, and then just pay him back when I get paid tomorrow. >.> That should be kosher.))
[18:51] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> Yeah. Can't believe Keira threw the fight though. I wouldn't have won otherwise... <sigh> She's amazing, isn't she? 
[18:51] arynwyn: (( <nod> Sounds fair. ))
[18:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ((For some reason I was about to type "Hal" ?? I have NO clue why...don't make a lick of sense.)) <her smile tightens a little> She obviously wanted you to be promoted.  You two must have a long history.
[18:52] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[18:54] arynwyn: Dres: <chews some bread idly> Yeah. Before we joined the brotherhood, we were supposed to be married. Family thing, you know how it is. <shrugs> But then we were, ironically enough, both chosen to join. We graduated together, but she quickly moved up the ranks, leaving me behind. She thinks I'm better than I am, I think.
[18:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So...you were supposed to be married, but because you joined, the marriage was called off? <Nooo, she's not focused on that one particular part of the story.>
[18:56] arynwyn: Dres: Yeah. Pretty much. <shrugs again> I suppose we could have gotten married still, but... we didn't. <is too lost in thought or memory to notice her fixation>
[18:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <think: And that's a good thing, right?> ... ...did you two know each other before you were...betrothed to one another?
[18:59] arynwyn: Dres: Yeah. Our families have been friends for many generations. <he pulls himself out of thought and smiles at her> Lucky for me, they forgot the whole idea, hm? <he leans over to kiss her:>
[19:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <kisses him deeply> They just forgot about it?  Just like that?
[19:01] arynwyn: Dres: Well, I'm not sure my mother ever completely forgot about it. But it doesn't matter now, does it? <caresses her cheek> Besides... Keira in a dress? Never going to happen. <he grins and kisses her again>
[19:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Is your mother happy you married me, then? <she asks after returning the kiss somewhat distractedly>
[19:03] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> As far as I know. Why? <furrows his brows as he looks at her> Did I upset you?
[19:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((argh.  she should have asked "Is your mother happy you're marrying me, then?" since, as far as Society's concerned, they're just engaged.  'course she's all possessive atm, so...))
 
 Mya: <smile> As long as you're with me, I'm fine. <fidget, eats cheese>
 
 ((<ordering zee pizza>))
[19:07] arynwyn: (( mmm... I'm so hungry. >.< ))
[19:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I suggest you eat foods.))
[19:09] arynwyn: Dres: <leans back and watches her for a moment, then sighs and gives up> I should probably go. I'm promoted now, but I still need to get my new assignment. 
[19:09] arynwyn: (( nuffin to eat. =(   ))
[19:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Your new assignment starts tonight?  And what, exactly, do you do now?  I'm not sure I like the idea of you following women around. <smile>
[19:10] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; tell the hubby to feed you))
[19:11] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> I'll be given a new charge. I've no idea who they'll be. I don't even know all the families we have under protection. <he stands and leans down to kiss her> 
[19:11] arynwyn: (( hubby went back to work ))
[19:12] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; call him up and tell him to order a pizza and have it delivered home? ))
 
 Mya: Are you sure you're okay now though? <she rises> 
[19:13] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Eh. I'll prolly make shells & cheese here in a bit. I'm just so tired, I don't wanna wash the pan. ))
[19:13] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> I'm fine, Lovely. Don't worry about me. <kisses her again, then slips out of the room>
[19:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah. okee :3 ))
 Mya: <pursues> I'm supposed to, you know.  Worry about you. <dropping her voice since they're in a hallway>
[19:14] arynwyn: (( And yes, he was in love with Keira until he was forced to join Bloodwatchers ))
[19:14] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; what happened to make him fall out of love with her? >.> ))
[19:15] arynwyn: Dres: <turns and smiles, then pulls her close for a tight hug> Alright then. Worry,  but only a little. <he kisses her gently>
[19:15] arynwyn: (( Uhm... Bloodwatchers frowns upon two members being together. >.> ))
[19:16] Chaos Angel Sox: (( and that changed how he felt about her? ))
 
 Mya: I'll worry however much I want to.  You did just got thrown across a room by a sword earlier...
[19:17] arynwyn: (( over time, they grew apart, since she moved up faster than him and they spent little time together. <shrug> All his feelings may or may not be gone.  <evil grin> ))
[19:18] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles> Hell of a swing, wasn't it? <hugs her again> I need to go. I'll be back at dawn. <kisses her cheek>
[19:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Uh oh....<laughs>))
 Mya: <stifles a sigh> You'd better be. <letting go of him relutctantly>
[19:19] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles and slips away, disappearing down the hall>
[19:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww, Mya's all worried. :) ))
[19:19] arynwyn: (( About? ))
[19:19] arynwyn: (( Keira? ))
[19:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Right now? Mostly about his physical condition, but there are lots of lingering growly bits in her head about Keira))
[19:20] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[19:20] arynwyn: (( Mkay, sooo... Ath's guy? :-D ))
[19:21] arynwyn: (( OH! And I came up with a VERY evil twist for Keth & Zadie. ))
[19:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure! :D When it gets close to pizza arrival time, I'm going to go camp out by the door so the knocking won't wake Joe up.  Oh? I like evil...))
[19:21] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[19:22] arynwyn: (( Mhm! Okay, so... Zadie goes to the priest and finds out terrible news. Keth comes home and she's just in pieces, crying and shaking, etc. When she finally spits it out... there's a complication with the baby... she either has to abort or take the (very high) chance that she will die in childbirth (though the baby would live). You can say you don't like it. ))
[19:23] Chaos Angel Sox: (( o_O  Oooo evil.  I likes da evil. ))
[19:23] arynwyn: (( Sweet. ))
[19:24] arynwyn: (( Anyway, Ath's guy? well, Ath coming home from her first day PISSED anyway... Have Mya be on the stairs or something, 'cause she's goin' straight to her room and slamming the door... >.> ))
[19:25] arynwyn: (( ugh, fuck doing dishes... I'll make a frozen pizza. >.< ))
[19:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ((since I'm already in her color...)) <heading downstairs and encountering Ath on her way up> How was your fir...<blink>...umm...something wrong?
 
 ((Woo!))
[19:27] arynwyn: Ath: <glowering, fuming, shooting daggers with her eyes> I'm not going back. <continues stomping up the stairs, muttering> ...pompous ass... arrogant prick... 
[19:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat is on a spaz tear again...))
 
 Mya: <arches an eyebrow> You're not going back? <pursue> Because of some asshole?  We can take care of that problem, you know...
[19:28] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[19:29] arynwyn: Ath: <heading down the hall> ...you mean kill him? He's not even worth the effort... 
[19:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Here's the poem I was looking for: 
 
 Let another cross his way- 
 She's the one will do the weeping! 
 Little need I fear he'll stray
 Since I have his heart in keeping-
 
 Let another hail him dear-
 Little chance that he'll forget me!
 Only need I curse and fear
 Her he loved before he met

[19:30] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[19:30] arynwyn: (( nice ))
[19:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So he's enough of an asshole to piss you off, but not enough of one to kill? <still hot on her sister's trail; this is too interesting> I sense a story that needs telling...
[19:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Huh, the poem cuts off the last word: "Her he loved before he met me." ))
[19:32] arynwyn: (( I figured. ^^ ))
[19:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Must've highlighted it weird when I went to copy & paste.  whatevah.))
[19:34] arynwyn: Ath: <steps into her room and holds the door open long enough for Mya to come in, then she slams the door> Okay, so... I get the best teacher there is, only she has another student. Which is fine. Except that he's just this arrogant asshole who thinks he's the gods' gift to elfkind. We ended up dueling, which came out to a draw, and afterward I was trying to be nice, since we are going to be spending so much time together. But he kept giving me all these smartass answers and making fun of me. Ugh. <she flops down on her bed and squeezes her eyes shut, trying to calm her breathing>
[19:35] arynwyn: (( Oh, when will Furon tell her he's found a guy for her? ))
[19:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm....whenever you think the time is right :3 ))
 Mya: Hm.  Threatened?  Him, I mean.  Or just spoiled - he likes having teacher all to himself.  <pause> Is she hot?  Maybe he's interested in her.
 
 ((Um, well, she puts hot cigarettes in her mouth and drinks hot coffee....so in that sense she is...))
[19:37] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs> Uhm, no. She's oldish, and she smokes a lot. She's very NOT hot. And he's just... UGH. I'm not going back.
 
 (( Heh, methinks the sooner the better. <giggle> Would be fun for her to find out right now, while she's still pissed, that she's supposed to marry him. ))
[19:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh come on.  And LET him chase you off?  Then he wins!!
[19:40] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> Then what am I supposed to do, Mya? He's better than me, easily. If Ms. Terrian hadn't called a draw, I would have lost. I was out of mana. Another spell would have finished me off.
[19:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - was retrieving pizza.  's chilly outside >_< ))
 
 Mya: Well...but she called it a draw.  So she must think you're evenly matched, and she's the teacher, right?  
[19:42] arynwyn: (( no worries! ))
[19:42] arynwyn: Ath: So what do I do? <she opens her eyes and rolls over on her side to look at her>
[19:42] arynwyn: (( it's really humid here today. Tim said it rained all morning. ))
[19:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah but we have rain and 50 degree temps >.>))
 
 Mya: I guess you just tolerate him until you've learned enough to kick his ass good and proper. <grin>
[19:44] arynwyn: (( NICE. my perfect weather! <3 ))
[19:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Proof you're insane >_o ))
[19:45] arynwyn: Ath: Ugh. What if I never do? What if he's always better than me?
[19:45] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Mebbe. ))
[19:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> Then you tolerate him until he dies.  Which, again...with Uncle's blessing, could be possible...and if not death, well...I could wound him some at least? <grin>
[19:47] arynwyn: Ath: <chuckles> Fine. <sighs and rubs her eyes> I'm wiped. It was a hell of a duel. I think I'm going to nap until dinner.
[19:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I hate to bring up more unpleasantness but...Uncle Furon's coming to dinner tonight.  Sort of unexpected.  And if he's coming, then that means he's bringing Aunt Selah and our DEAR cousin, Selrone, with him. <she rolls her eyes>
[19:49] arynwyn: Ath: <groans> I'll just stay in bed then, okay? Tell them I'm sick or something. Please? <folds her hands and makes like she's begging>
[19:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((One of these days, Selah will get some respect...she's not the fluff-headed simpleton everyone thinks she is.  I feel kind of bad for her, actually.))
 
 Mya: <shakes her head> I don't think lying to Uncle Furon's a good idea.  'Sides, if Selrone acts up, you can just vent your anger about Asshole Boy back at the Temple on him instead, hm? 
[19:51] arynwyn: (( Oh, nice. <giggle> ))
[19:52] arynwyn: Ath:  <grim smile> Fine. <sighs> Wake me for dinner then, hm? 
[19:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Will do.
[19:53] arynwyn: Ath: <comes down to dinner wearing a nice, though simple, dress. her hair is pulled up and she's wearing a couple of piece of nice jewelry, doing her best to look nice for Furon and his family. she smiles and takes her usual seat>
[19:53] arynwyn: (( I assume he's announcing at dinner? ))
[19:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Good assumin' ^_^; ))
[19:54] arynwyn: (( sweet. ))
[19:54] arynwyn: (( foooood! :-D ))
[19:56] arynwyn: *pieces
[19:56] arynwyn: (( And I used "nice" three times. YEESH. >.< ))
[19:58] Chaos Angel Sox: <Unfortunately, Selrone's been seated right across from her, and his mother next to him.  He and Selah are also nicely dressed, though not overly so.  Selah is chattering at Mya about wedding plans, apparently having decided that since the bride has no mother, it's her place to step in.  Mya, seated across from Selah (and thus next to Ath) is wearing her politely smiling mask above her dress, while their father and uncle talk quietly amongst themselves.  Their father seems...sort of shocked.  Ciarre (Ath's youngest sister) is bored.  The servants are bringing out soup and salad as a starter>
[19:59] arynwyn: Ath: <listens to the wedding conversation with one ear, her mind still buzzing from her day. she picks at her food, being too nervous in Furon's presence (he scares her though she won't admit it) to really enjoy eating>
[20:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <looks over the assemblage and taps his water glass with his fork.  Selah falls silent, much to Mya's obvious relief> I'm here tonight with good news. <he smiles and his pleased contentment falls upon Ath as he directs his attention to her> You'll be glad to hear I've found a suitable husband for you.  
 <Mya looks surprised, Ciarre pouts, and their father looks at his eldest daughter, obviously worried how she'll react to this news.  Selah's face lights up at the prospect of a double wedding! how romantic! and Selrone grins ear to ear and comments on "twice as much wedding cake">
[20:07] arynwyn: Ath: <her eyes empty and she bows her head> Yes, Uncle. <she forces herself to look up and give a small, tight smile, though her eyes remain blank> Might I ask who?
[20:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: Now, don't be like that.  You think I have no care for my nieces' happiness?  He's the only son of a noble family, and he's just about your age.  I didn't "sell" you off to some "withered old lecher".  And he's in priest training at the Temple, so you two have something in common. <drinks his wine as his wife continues to coo about a Temple wedding, and it's such a grand building, where should the streamers go?>
[20:12] arynwyn: (( No  name? ))
[20:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not yet ^_^ ))
[20:12] arynwyn: (( heh, okay. ))
[20:13] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, a little relieved, glancing over at Mya for a moment, before turning her attentioin back to Furon, hoping for more information>
[20:14] arynwyn: *attention
[20:14] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. My typing is suck today. ))
[20:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sort of half-smiles at her sister encouragingly>
 Furon: <sets his wine glass back down> His name's Lyranon Sul'nova.  The Sul'nova family are good people, well-off thanks to their mines.  They donate a lot of their metal and ore to the throne for the crafting of weapons and armor.
 
 ((That's okay - my thinking is apparently the suck today.  I'm sitting here going "Durr...words.  Lookit all the funny letters..."))
[20:21] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[20:22] arynwyn: Ath: <goes very pale> Sul'nova?... <she tries to stay calm, but her breathing goes wonky, and she ends up fleeing the table, running up to her room and shutting herself in her room>
[20:23] arynwyn: *shutting herself in
[20:24] Chaos Angel Sox: <Stunned shock is pretty much everyone's reactions, though Mya quickly stands, bows to Furon and takes off after Ath.  Their father sighs heavily while Selrone asks, "What's her problem?">
 Mya: <knocks on Ath's door> ...what's going on, sis?
[20:25] arynwyn: Ath: <she's leaning against the door, breathing hard> Sul'nova. It's him. Lyranon Sul'nova. I'm supposed to marry him?... 
[20:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It's him? <blink think> You mean Asshole Boy?
[20:26] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, then  realizes she can't see it> Yes. It's him...
[20:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ....oh gods. <she sighs> I'm so sorry, Athie.  You...you can try and argue with Uncle about it...but I...I don't know if that'll work...
[20:32] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a deep breath and composes herself, then opens the door> I'll be fine. <she pushes past Mya and goes back down to the table, giving a fake smile to everyone> Sorry about that. I remembered I left a candle burning too close to my curtains. <she sits down and appears to be happy about the news, but she's going heavy on the wine>
[20:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <eating his soup as the servants start bringing out the main course> I know it seems sudden to you, Aileth.  But I've worked hard to find someone suitable for both our family and for you.
 Mya: <returns to the table and resumes her seat without comment>
[20:36] arynwyn: Ath: I'm glad you have, Uncle. I'm sure he is a wonderful man. <long drink of wine> I only worry about stealing Mya's glory. <she grasps Mya's hand under the table tightly, glancing over at her with a forced smile>
[20:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <squeezes her hand under the table and smiles at her> 
 Furon: And you'll be able to meet him before the wedding, I promise.  After all, another engagement party is necessary now, isn't it? <smiles>
[20:40] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and swallows, then finishes her wine and asks a servant for another glass> It seems so. <she falls silent, not touching another bite of her meal, only sucking down the wine>
[20:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: We'll be announcing it this weekend, I think.  Not the same restaurant we used for Mya's announcement, of course.
 Father (whose name I don't remember): <mutters> Are you going to marry Ciarre off next week?
 Furon: <shoots his brother a glare> If I could find someone willing to marry her next week....<he stops dead in the middle of his sentence as he glances at Selah, who is giving him a Look only a wife could give.  He clears his throat and revises his sentence>....I would tell them to come back in a few years.  She's still too young yet. ((Ciarre's only a couple years behind Mya, age-wise))
[20:48] arynwyn: Ath: <finishes her glass of wine> May I be excused, Uncle? I'm a little tired tonight.
[20:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <nods> Practicing hard at the Temple already?  Glad to hear it.
[20:50] arynwyn: Ath: <stands and nods, then gives a little bow before leaving>
[20:50] arynwyn: (( Poor Ath. ))
[20:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[20:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is she gonna deck Mr. Sul'nova next time she sees him?))
[20:52] arynwyn: (( <laugh> No. She has to be nice to him in hopes he'll be nice to her. Well, mostly she's just going to withdraw inside herself. So, FF to the next day at the Temple? ))
[20:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure.  And you know he doesn't know he's engaged to her. ^_^))
[20:53] arynwyn: (( Right. She didn't give her real name. ))
[20:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((hee))
[20:54] arynwyn: Ath: <arrives a few minutes early the next day, going into the training room and sitting down on the floor, leaning against the wall. she takes a few deep breaths and tries to steel herself for the day>
[20:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mr. Sul'nova: <strolls into the room and looks at her> Hm.  You came back.  Well, we'll see who survives today.
[20:57] arynwyn: Ath: <looks up at him, studying him, imagining him in a tux and her in a wedding dress next to him. she stands and, not smiling, offers him her hand> You win. You're the best. I don't care anymore.
[20:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr ('cause Mr. Sul'nova is too long): <he blinks at her> ...you're giving up? <he looks at her hand and then back at her> If you really, honestly mean that...you're not the woman I thought you were.
 
 ((Lyr, you have no idea....))
[21:01] arynwyn: Ath: <withdraws her hand and bows her head> You know nothing about me. <she contemplates just leaving, but she knows she can't>
[21:03] arynwyn: (( I pray for Ath's sake that he has a soft side... >.< ))
[21:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I don't know much about you.  But I know you don't give up.  You...you just don't.
 Ms.T: Okay, okay enough pillow talk, you two. <she coughs smokily as she enters the room> You're learning a new spell today, which means I don't have time to listen to you two hiss and spit at one another.
[21:05] arynwyn: Ath: <looks up at him for a moment, her face grim, then she turns to Ms. T, giving a bow>
[21:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <bows to her as well>
 Ms.T: Sit.  Both of you.  And clear the wax out of your ears because I'm too old to repeat myself.
 
 [The teaching goes on for about an hour before Ms. T. declares that it's cigarette break time and leaves.]
[21:12] arynwyn: Ath: <gives a small sigh of relief and lets her head fall into her hands>
[21:12] arynwyn: (( Sorry I'm not typing much. >.> ))
[21:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is a-okay))
 Lyr: <exhales> I think I actually preferred training by combat.
[21:14] arynwyn: Ath: Me too. <she lays back on the mat and stretches, her eyes closed>
[21:15] arynwyn: (( And her robe fits very nicely on her body. ))
[21:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <watches her stretch and thinks about this for a minute> ....well, here's a proposal for you then...if you're up for it. <grin>
[21:17] arynwyn: Ath: <opens her eyes and looks over at him, trying not to wince at the word "proposal"...> What is it?
[21:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: If I see you on the street, I'll attack you, and if you see me, you attack me.  We'll have to be extra careful to avoid getting innocent bystanders...or any buildings...caught up in it, but...it could be fun, hm?  Like playing tag, but with spells. <he has a very boyish smile on his face, exactly like a child who wants to play tag>
[21:19] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Oh dear. Ath's Protector is going to have fun with this one... ))
[21:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> good point. ^_^; ))
[21:22] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> Fine. No lasting damage, no to-the-death. 
[21:23] arynwyn: (( Sorry that took so long; I tried to add more but I couldn't think of the words. ))
[21:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Of course not.  We can't always be sure of another priest around.  Shake on it? <offers his hand to her>
[21:24] arynwyn: Ath: <sits up and looks at his hand, then up at him. she fights a sigh as she shakes it>
[21:25] arynwyn: (( I go for Halloween candy. ))
[21:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Oh, and of course, home and the Temple are safe zones.  Just when we're out and about, right?  Otherwise we'll get too paranoid.
[21:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Poor kids - no candy for you! ))
[21:26] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Shush! ))
[21:27] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Very well. <think: Does he actually think I'm going to attack him? Though, if it's want he wants, I suppose I should oblige him. He is, after all, my future husband...>
[21:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <grins> This'll be fun.  And good training, I think, hm?
[21:28] arynwyn: (( <offers Kit Kats, peanut M&Ms, Reeses and Dum Dums> ))
[21:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((KIT KAT!! <pounce>))
[21:28] arynwyn: Ath: <faint smile> Yes. Good training.
[21:29] arynwyn: (( <laugh> My favorite too! :-D ))
[21:29] arynwyn: (( <grin> So, FF to him attacking her? ))
[21:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You sure you're feeling okay?  Yesterday you were all smiling and flirting and willing to take me apart.  You seem kind of....reserved all of a sudden.  Did I tire you out that much yesterday? <snickers to himself>
[21:31] arynwyn: Ath: ... <sigh> I found out yesterday I'm getting married. One of those arranged ones. <shrugs and pulls herself to her feet>
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <all the mirth goes out of him.  He looks at her for a moment, then shrugs> Get over it.
 Ms.T: <comes back in, trailing smoke> Okay, hopefully you listened carefully 'cause now we start practice....
[21:34] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head at him and turns her attention to Ms. T>
[21:36] Chaos Angel Sox: [Practice practice practice.....]
 Ms. T: Okay, okay, that's enough failure, you two.  We'll pick this up again tomorrow.  <heading out>
 Lyr: <sighs tiredly> Light...not as easy as I thought that was going to be...I almost had it there at the end though, I KNOW it...
[21:36] arynwyn: Ath: <ignores him, picks up her cloak and pulls it on>
[21:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr:  Well, see you around, hm?  I got a Shadow Word: Pain with your name on it next time I catch sight of you outside of this building, sweetheart. <winks at her and heads for the door>
[21:38] arynwyn: Ath: <glares at his back (again)> Don't call me that.
[21:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Call you what? <turning back to her, hand on the knob>
[21:39] arynwyn: Ath: Don't call me sweetheart. <still glaring> 
[21:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr:  Sorry.  Force of habit. <bows> My apologies, truly.  I didn't even realize.  I would hate to imply that you might be "sweet"...<teasing grin>
[21:41] arynwyn: Ath: Force of habit? What, do you charm women on a daily basis?... 
[21:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: "Daily"? I'm not that good.  Though I may try and step it up.  I'm being married off too.  Might as well enjoy my freedom while I've got it, y'know?  <tries to chuckle lightly and it doesn't really come out right; he turns to go again>
[21:45] arynwyn: Ath: <makes a quiet, strangled noise and she covers her mouth quickly, clearing her throat to try and cover it up; How can I marry such a vile man? "...may try and step it up"? Gods, what a pig!>
[21:45] arynwyn: *clearing her thoat to try and mask it
[21:45] arynwyn: (( So many repeated words today. yeesh. >.< ))
[21:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((cat on head))
[21:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <heads out>
[21:46] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[21:46] arynwyn: Ath: <follows, stepping out of the Temple, keeping her head down, thinking hard>
[21:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <walks out of the Temple into the waning sunlight>
[21:47] arynwyn: (( Is he going to attack her? ))
[21:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((... ... ... <whistles innocently>))
[21:48] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[21:48] arynwyn: Ath: <starts on her long walk home, sighing occasionally>
[21:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <turns and throws the promised Shadow Word: Pain on Ath as she emerges from Temple grounds, then ducks down an alley for cover>
[21:50] arynwyn: Ath: <cries out in pain, then bubbles herself quickly and cursing under her breath>
 
 Ath's Protector: <grabs Lyr from behind, a knife to his throat> (( It's a woman )) Stupid move, fool.
[21:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blinks> Huh?  What do you want?  Money?
[21:54] arynwyn: P: <pushes him out of the alley and over to where Ath is standing> You okay?
 Ath: <blinks> I'm... I'm fine. Who are you? <she takes Lyr's arm> Let him go. What are you doing?
 P: My job. He attacked you. You don't know who I am? Didn't your sister or uncle explain these things to you? <not letting go of Lyr>
 Ath: Explain what to me? Let him go! It's a game; I attack him, he attacks me. 
[21:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: It's training!  We're just training!  Established rules, one of which is no killing!  <looks at Ath> You're obviously a higher ranked lady than I thought; you've got some formidable bodyguards here....though you could've mentioned that to me...
[21:57] arynwyn: Ath: I don't  know who this woman is! <she's still holding his arm and she starts tugging on him>
 P: <the woman narrows her eyes at him> I don't like it. Don't attack her again. If you do, you won't be as lucky. <she lets him go and turns to Ath> You can ask your sister who I am. <and she vanishes>
[21:58] arynwyn: Ath: <damn it, I should have let her kill him, then I wouldn't have to marry him...>
[21:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...Light almighty! <rubs his throat where the blade was pressed against it> Well someone likes you.  Maybe your new future hubby's trying to safeguard his investment or something?  Geeze...
[21:59] arynwyn: Ath: I'm not so lucky. <she turns to go, wondering who the hell that woman was>
[22:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <shrugs> So I guess our special training's off.  <sighs> It would've been so great...I was looking forward to it too.  Wanted to see if I could beat you this time, none of this "draw" business.  
[22:02] arynwyn: Ath: We can always arrange a duel. Give me some time to figure out why someone is following me and protecting me against anyone who attacks. <heading down the steps>
[22:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Yeah...and make sure she doesn't try to perforate my throat next time.  Might piss off my bride if she's widowed before she's married....maybe.  <rubs his throat again> See you tomorrow, swe...um, yeah.
[22:05] arynwyn: Ath: <waves at him over her shoulder, then hurries home, glancing behind her occasionally to check for the woman who was following her. she finally gets home and begins to hunt for Mya, not even taking off her cloak>
[22:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is in her room, yet again going through her closet for something to wear; there's a pile of discarded possibilities on the bed>
[22:07] *** arynwyn wants to directly connect.
[22:08] arynwyn: Ath: <steps into Mya's room without knocking, shutting the door behind her quietly> Why is there a woman following me around? And why did she attack the other student at the Temple when he cast a spell on me? And why did she tell me to ask you all of these things?...
[22:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <looks at her when she comes in; she seems confused at first then makes a sort of "Ah" face.  She exhales and shoves her dresses over to one side of the bed so that there's room to sit> She's there to protect you.  I...don't really think I should say much more than that.  They're supposed to be a secret.
[22:11] arynwyn: Ath: She wasn't being very secretive. She made it sound like I was supposed to know who she was. She said, "Don't you know who I am? Didn't your sister or uncle explain these things to you?"... What does that mean?
[22:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs and pats the cleared off part of the bed next to her> ...Yes, well, just because they expect me to be a chatterhead, doesn't mean I am.  She's protecting you because you're part of a family loyal to the throne.  As for why she mentioned me and Uncle Furon...well....let me put it this way: I'm marrying my Protector.
[22:15] arynwyn: Ath: ... <sighs> Lucky. <she steps out of the room and heads to her own>
[22:16] Chaos Angel Sox: (( <Laughs> This NYTimes reporter showed his 7 year old son some classic 40s horror movies:
 
 As a bonus he has also learned some lessons about cinema. He can now tell, almost instantly, when a character appears who was created solely for the purpose of being killed. And he has even learned some lessons about life, like this one: When you are alone with the bad guy, and he is pouring you a drink, and he asks if anyone knows that you came to meet him, you always answer: “Yes, yes. Everyone knows! I told everyone I know that I was coming! Totally.” ))
[22:16] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[22:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs and follows her> Athie, what's going on?  Why did your Protector have to step in?  Who tried to hurt you?
[22:18] arynwyn: Ath: Oh, well, Mr. Sul'nova came up with the bright idea that we needed more hands-on practice with our magic. So we were supposed to attack each other any time we were outside our home and Temple, whenever we saw the other. Just as a, y'know, friendly game. <she sounds annoyed, angry and frustrated> So he attacked me, as soon as I stepped out of the Temple. 
[22:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh gods. <drops her head into her hands> And you went along with this cockamamie (sp? don't ask me) scheme?
[22:19] arynwyn: Ath: He's my future husband. I figured I may as well get a head start on submitting to him.
[22:20] arynwyn: *get used to submitting to him.
[22:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> He's not your husband yet; get your thrashing in while you can, I say.  Besides, you should at least say you don't want to do something if you don't.
[22:22] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs and begins to change for dinner> Doesn't matter to me. I don't care anymore. 
[22:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Have you talked with him about the engagement?  Asshole Boy, that is.
[22:25] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> He knows he's getting married, and that I am, but I didn't give him my real name yesterday so he doesn't know it's me. He called me "sweetheart" today and I told him not to. He said it was a force of habit, so I asked if he charms women on a regular basis. He said occasionally, but not that he's supposed to get married, he's going to "step it up"... <sigh>
[22:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Sounds like he's just as happy with it as you are.  One more thing in common.  <pauses to think> How'd he react to the Protector going after him?
[22:26] arynwyn: Ath: He didn't seem afraid, not really. He thought it was security my fiance put into place. Heh, I wish.
[22:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You wish? <blinks>
[22:27] arynwyn: Ath: I wish I had a fiance that loved and cared for me, <turning to face Mya> like you do. Like Dresden. I'm not that lucky. I get to marry an arrogant pig.
[22:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> I wish you had that too.  If there was a way I could get it for you, I would, you know I would.
[22:29] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> Doesn't matter. <she finishes dressing> Whatever is good for the family, right? <tight smile>
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Look, Athie, once you're married, you'll be expected to keep him happy, it's true, but for now, you're still free to do whatever you want.  He can't cancel the engagement without proof of some sort of crime or major wrongdoing, like screwing around with some other guy.  So if you're going to give him the ass-whoopin' it sounds like he needs, you're going to have to do it now.  <she smiles> 
[22:35] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head sadly> No. I don't want to do that. I want eveything to go smoothly and maybe one day we'll be able to tolerate each other. <she goes to her mirror to fix her hair>
[22:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, then you talk to him.  Wives have a long history of whipping their husbands into shape.  It's practically in the job description. <walks up next to her and hugs her> You know he's the luckiest man in the world to be getting you.  You just gotta make the dunce realize it.
[22:38] arynwyn: Ath: <hugs her sister back> I still wish I were you. For more than one reason. I'm weak. I'm not sure I should take over the family. I know it's still years away, but... You are so much more involved in things, you know what's going on. I feel so out of the loop.
[22:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You were gone for a year.  You're just getting back into things.  Maybe more tea parties...or cake parties.  If you have devil's food, I guarantee I'll be there.  <smiles>  Consolidate your power with our female cousins, 'cause nothing can stand in the way of a group of women who've made up their minds, hm?
[22:42] arynwyn: Ath: <small smile> I suppose. <she finishes her hair and gives herself a disapproving gaze in the mirror, then sighs> Time for more smiles... <she heads to the door, glancing back at her> Thanks Mya.
[22:43] arynwyn: (( So, is he going to find out it's her at the engagement party? <grin> 'cause that'd be sweet. he walks in and bam, there she is, but he has to be happy 'cause everyone's watching. <giggle> ))
[22:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles at her> Any time, sis.
 
 ((That was the plan <grin>))
[22:43] arynwyn: (( So, FF to that? Or do you have more you want to do at the Temple? ))
[22:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I vote forrrrrrr.....FF! <pushes the button>))
[22:44] arynwyn: (( Sweeeet. ))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( You wanna set the scene for the party? ))
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((can do!))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( 'cause you're so much better at that. =P ))
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I am?))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( Yep! ))
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((lies ^_~ ))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( it's true! ))
[22:45] arynwyn: (( Tim's home. ))
[22:46] Chaos Angel Sox: (( :D Timmeh!  Get this girl some pizza! ))
[22:46] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[22:47] arynwyn: (( I'mma be in and out while I start sketti. ))
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <Furon has once again rented out an entire restaurant - as he promised, it's a different restaurant but just as nice.  It's packed with the Sul'nova and Duskblade families, sitting at the tables while Furon and Lyr's father make pretty speeches about uniting and togetherness and blah blah blah>
 Furon: Okay, enough prattling on from us old men, hm?  Let's get the happy couple up here...<he beckons to Ath>
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sketti!))
[22:49] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a deep breath (which is rather difficult in her tight, long, black dress) and stands, walking carefully up to stand by her uncle. she smiles>
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <Wearing a very nice tux, he comes forward as his own father motions for him to do so, then nearly trips and falls when he sees the girl next to Mr. Duskblade.  He blinks and tries to readjust his sight a couple of times, while his father impatiently glares at him.  He pulls it together and manages to make it the rest of the way to stand with them and smile out at the crowd>
 Furon: <smiles out at the crowd, taking one of Athame's hands and reaching his hand out for one of Lyr's>
 Lyr: <is staring at Ath; he blinks out of his trance at his father's nudge and gives his hand to Furon>
 Furon: <makes them hold hands, clasping his own hands around them, as Mr. Sul'nova (the elder) does the same.  The families applaud>
 Lyr: <is wondering if he's had too much to drink, but then remembers he hasn't had anything alcoholic yet>
[22:57] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles sweetly at him, as if she's never seen him before. her hand is cool and sweat-free and she hardly seems nervous>
[23:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles at the assemblage>
 <Furon and Mr. Sul'nova let go of their hands>
 Furon: <smiles and bids everyone enjoy themselves>
 Lyr: <he offers his arm to Athame to lead her to their table so that people can come by and shower them with well wishes and whispers> ...I don't suppose you have some sort of cousin with an eerily similar appearance? <smile to everyone>
[23:03] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs like he whispered something very funny to her (which he kind of did), then whispers back> I'm afraid not. I am, of course, your study-buddy, Athame Silverdawn. Which is the name I used when I spent that year on my own, when I lost my memory? Remember that little tale I spun you? Yes, well, that was the truth. <she pats his hand and smiles around at everyone>
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pulls her chair out for her and leans down to continue their whispered conversation as she sits> Well I'm glad I was good for a laugh. <he waves to a particularly enthusiastic well-wisher from his family as he sits next to her>
[23:07] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns a little and leans in to him> I tried to settle things between us as soon as I found out it was you I am to marry. But then you came up with that silly game to attack each other... <to cover her whisper, she kisses his cheek, smiling at him, then adds with a smile> You smell good.
[23:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Thank you.  You look...very nice. <he clears his throat>  You agreed to it.  And you knew.  You knew and I didn't.
[23:12] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs a little> I did know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I was... rather upset when I found out, to be honest. You hadn't been exactly nice to me, you know. 
[23:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Great.  Now we get to make each other miserable for the rest of our lives. <the waiters come around with champagne and someone proposes a toast.  Lyr smiles and lifts his flute to the toast and drinks>
[23:14] arynwyn: Ath: <raises hers as well, then sighs and drinks> Wonderful attitude...
[23:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <looks at his champagne> You're right, of course, dear.  <he turns his gaze to her> My father says I should get used to saying that. <drinks>
[23:16] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles a little> What happened to sweetheart? I think I prefer that to "dear".
[23:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You're right, of course, "sweetheart".  Better? <sighs and closes his eyes.  He pats her hand> Sorry, I know I'm being....I just...I'm a little thrown off by everything. <drinks more champagne>
[23:18] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I'll give you some space, then. <she stands and looks around for her sister> Find me when you'd like to talk.
[23:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Thanks. <as he raises his champagne flute to his lips again> Look me up in a few...months? years? <drink>
[23:21] arynwyn: Ath: ... <leans in and whispers> Just don't get drunk off your ass and make a fool of us both, hm? <sweet smile and then she wanders off to find Mya>
[23:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <comes up to her as she leaves the table and hugs her, saying aloud> Congratulations, Aileth! <and whispering> How're you holding up, Athie?
[23:24] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and returns the hug, whispering> I'm doing better than I have been. He, on the other hand, is being a baby. 
[23:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she stifles a laugh> So, he's being a man then?
[23:27] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> I wouldn't even call him a man. He's hardly more than a boy. <she takes a deep drink of champagne> Are you alone? Isn't Dresden here? (( He's working. >.> ))
[23:29] arynwyn: (( Heh, and no, his new charge isn't a woman. ))
[23:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: He's busy right now.  And this is your night.  Let's focus on you, hm?  You want me to give him a talkin' to?
[23:30] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> No, he's my future husband. I need to take care of it. I'd accept pointers and tips though. <smile>
[23:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Pointers? <surrepticiously pulls out a blade momentarily, just long enough so it's visible to her, then hides it again, grinning>
[23:32] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs, her eyes going a little wide> Not that kind of pointers! <she looks around quickly to make sure no one saw> I mean advice!
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> I already told you how to give the perfect blow job.  But I doubt you want to think about that right now...<sighs>
[23:34] arynwyn: Ath: <winces and takes a drink> Nothing like that. <shakes her head> Nevermind. I'll figure it out. <she looks over at Lyr> I should go see if he's okay. I feel kind of bad that I knew all along and he didn't...
[23:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <chuckles> I think it's funny.  And considering how rude he was to you, it's nothing he didn't deserve.
[23:37] arynwyn: Ath: I suppose, but.. <she shrugs, then smiles at Mya> I'll see you later. Come rescue me if Aunt Selah descends on us, please? <giggles and slips away, back over to Lyr. she takes her seat next to him> Doing okay?
[23:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she nods and smiles at her sister>
 Lyr: ...As well as I can be, I suppose.  They'll be bringing the food out soon; we won't have to talk to one another while we're eating. <sighs and finishes off his champagne>
[23:40] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns a little> Can't you even try to enjoy this? I mean... I'm not a completely vile person. You could be marrying worse. <she stares down at her hands in her lap>
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You enjoy being told you have to marry someone and stay with them forever, no matter what you might've wanted to do with your life?
[23:43] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> No. But we have to do things for our family. So, instead of throwing a fit about it, suck it up and get at least a little enjoyment out of it.
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You have a point.  At least I'm being saddled with a sexy wife.
[23:46] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow and grins> That's better. <she sips> You're quite attractive yourself, Lyranon. May I call you that?
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Sure.  Which name you want me to use for you? <sidelong glance>
 
 ((Yes, he's being a pissy bitch.  He'll get over it. >.> Er....eventually.  He is trying not to be a pissy bitch, but he's failing horribly. ^_^ ))
[23:48] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:49] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> That depends, I suppose. I prefer being called Athame or some form of it, but formally I'm called Aileth. Choose whichever you like. <she goes back to staring at her hands>
 
 (( He's making her feel really insecure. >.< ))
[23:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr (Not, in fact, Mya, as I was trying to type): So...what was it like to lose your memory, have your entire life change?
[23:53] arynwyn: (( Heh, I just tried to type Dres. >.> ))
[23:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heheh))
[23:56] arynwyn: Ath: <another sip> It was hard. Living on your own, trying to survive... <shakes her head> It's not something I'd like to do again. The hardest part, though, was the isolation and loniless. Not knowing where you belong. <she looks out at the crowd> At least now I know people care about me and love me.
[23:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Care about you enough to make you marry me? <grin> I'm sure you're just thrilled.
[23:58] arynwyn: Ath: <stare at hands> It's for the benefit of the family. And... I could be marrying some "old lecher" as my uncle put it.
[23:59] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://userpic.livejournal.com/57198930/666636)http://userpic.livejournal.com/57198930/666636
[23:59] arynwyn: (( <laugh> niiiice. ))
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I never realized you were so self-sacrificing.  You sure were hangin' on for dear life when we were fighting.
[00:01] arynwyn: Ath: Do you realize how long it'd been since I'd fought someone or something? I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did. <deep drink, and she's blushing with shame>
[00:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I was surprised too, honestly, but...it was fun, wasn't it?  Hell, I'm fairly surprised you didn't blast the hell out of me there at the end, right before Ms. Terrian called it.
[00:04] arynwyn: Ath: <small smile> 
[00:05] arynwyn: (( sorry there wasn't more to that, but she's quiet. >.> ))
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay! <huggles>))
 Lyr (grrr stop typing Mya - I blame the "y"): I had just enough mana left to raise a shield if you tried it.  I had no idea what I was going to do after that point...
[00:07] arynwyn: Ath: <finally admits> I had no mana left at all. I couldn't have defended myself if you had attacked. 
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Oh sure, you tell me that now! <he chuckles> So I guess we should both be thankful that she called it, hm?
[00:09] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I suppose so. <she drains her glass, looking around at the crowd, bored>
[00:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: So...um...<tries to think of something to talk about then does a sort of growl/sigh>...argh.  I don't know what to talk about.
[00:12] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles lightly> Afraid of silence?
[00:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <shrugs> With you? Maybe.  I'm worried a scary woman with a big knife is going to pop out and tell me I'm not entertaining you well enough.
[00:14] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns> I don't know much about that except that she only appears if I'm being attacked. <she sighs> I wish this night were over already.
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I know what you mean.  <looks around at everyone, then gets an idea.  he leans in close to her to whisper> Faint.
[00:16] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow> You want me to pretend to faint?... <
[00:16] arynwyn: (( minus the < ))
[00:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <nod nod> You pass out, concerned family whisks you away home to make sure nothing's wrong, and voila!  Evening's over!
[00:17] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs and shakes her head> You're terrible. <but she stands and begins to make her way through the crowd (sans her flute), and a minute later... she faints>
[00:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <stands, concerned> Ah...<starts to say "Athame" and barely remembers to change it in time> Aileth! <concerned, really.  so very converned.>
 Furon: <actually concerned> What happened?
 Mya: <hurries over> Sis? <she checks her pulse and breathing> She's fine, she's just passed out.  I don't think she drank too much...
 Furon: Get her home.  She needs rest.
 Mya: Yes, Uncle.
 Furon: I wasn't talking to you.  <and indeed, he's looking at Lyr>
 Lyr: <think: Oops> Um...yessir.  <he goes over and carefully picks Ath up, carrying her gently>
 Mya: <arches an eyebrow> I'll show you the way...
 Lyr: Thank you. <the party heads out>
[00:23] arynwyn: Ath: <comes to halfway home> Mm? What's going on?... <surreptitious eyeroll at Lyr>
[00:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: That desperate to get out of there, sis?
 Lyr: <does his best to look innocent>
[00:25] arynwyn: Ath:  <grins at Mya> It was his idea. <she wraps her arms around Lyr's neck, not offering to walk> He was desperate to be rid of me, but Uncle Furon ruined that plan. 
[00:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blushes as she wraps her arms around his neck> You were the one who wanted out of there.  I provided what I thought would be the best means of escape.  I'm sorry you have to tolerate my presence this last little bit longer.
 Mya: <rolls her eyes> You'd better be glad I got to you before Uncle Furon did.  Up close, he'd've known you were faking too.
[00:28] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs> I knew you wouldn't fail me, Mya. <she rests her head against Lyr's shoulder> You should come in for a drink, Lyranon. I mean, just because we left that party doesn't mean we shouldn't have a good time. <grin> (( And  yes, she's a little tipsy ))
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <arches an eyebrow>
 Lyr: <looks down at Ath in his arms and then at Mya with a "?!?" look on his face>
 Mya: <puts a hand on Ath's arm> If your groom here doesn't show back up at the party, there will be some nasty gossip...
[00:31] arynwyn: Ath: <pouts> So I'm supposed to stay all alone at the house? I don't like this plan anymore. If you two go back, I'm going back. At least there were people there. ...and champagne. <giggle>
[00:32] arynwyn: (( Sweeet. Finally killed the fly that's been bugging me all day ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Deeeaaaathhh!!))
[00:32] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh good gods, how much did you drink, Athie?
 Lyr: You know, this is especially ironic since she warned me NOT to get drunk...
 Mya: You're not helping.
 Lyr: <shuts up and adjusts his hands on Ath to make sure he doesn't drop her>
[00:34] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles a little more> I'm not drunk! I'm jus' not used to drinking this much. It's his fault! He was being all depressing. I had to keep the smile on my face somehow. 
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <rolls his eyes> Father told me to get used to that too.
 Mya: Well I'll stay with you, Athie.  I should anyway: my dearest darling sister is obviously...exhausted from all the excitement.  It's my duty to stay with her and make sure she's okay.
[00:37] arynwyn: Ath: <ignores Mya> What other depressing things did your father tell you? 'Cause my sister just got engaged and she's been having a dandy time with her fiance. Why can't we have a good time too? <looking up into his eyes imploringly>
[00:39] arynwyn: Ath: Oh, right... 'cause you don't like me.
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bathroom sorry))
[00:40] arynwyn: (( no worries. gave me time to add. =P ))
[00:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I never said that.  Look....we can have a good time, I'm not opposed to that.  What do you want to do?  Besides shopping, I can't shop for more than an hour, two hours tops.
 Mya: <cough> She's...um...not referring to shopping, I don't think. <shooting Ath a Look>
[00:43] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs> No, I don't want to shop. What do you and Dresden do, Mya? <innocent smile>
[00:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <looks skyward as if the old gods would help her> Yeah, she definitely doesn't mean shopping.... <clearing her throat> Oh look, we're home....thank the gods...
 Lyr: <looks confused, because surely she's not talking about what he thinks she's talking about; he readjusts his hands on Ath, fingers accidentally brushing one of her breasts.  He blushes> Sorry...just trying to make sure I don't drop you.
[00:48] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles and leans in to kiss him softly, her hands toying with his hair. it's a brief kiss, and when she pulls away, she hops out of his arms and heads inside>
[00:49] arynwyn: (( Heh, Ath is going to be SO embarrassed tomorrow. >.> ))
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blink blink blush blink>
 Mya: ... ... ...you know, considering she told me you were more boy than man, she seems to have suddenly become a pedophile.
 Lyr: HEY!
 Mya: <she looks him up and down> You are sort of boyishly cute, I suppose.  Stop acting like such an asshole to her, and you might have a tolerable life together.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make sure she remembers how to navigate stairs...<Mya waves and walks in after Ath>
 Lyr: <throws his hands up, literally, then heads back to the party, thinking about what a surreal night this turned out to be...and occasionally he ponders the expense of keeping his eventual house stocked with champagne>
[00:52] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[00:52] arynwyn: (( So, is the next day a Temple day? ))
[00:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: I would just like to say, for the record, I am not a pedophile.
 ....do you want it to be? <grin>))
[00:52] arynwyn: (( Mhm! ))
[00:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Then so shall it be!))
[00:53] arynwyn: Ath: <arrives early, as usual, and sits down against the wall. hungover? yes. she's worried about her reaction time today and she knows Lyr's going to kick her ass, but, strangely, she doesn't really care if he does>
[00:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <arrives after she does, as is customary at this point, but keeps her at a distance> Good afternoon, fellow pupil and future bride! <he says far too cheerily, and too loudly as well>
[00:56] arynwyn: Ath: <stands and gives a small smile, blusing furiously> Good afternood, Lyranon.
[00:56] arynwyn: *afternoon
[00:57] arynwyn: Ath: I should apologize for last night. <clears her throat>
[00:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he grins and starts speaking normally, instead of with forced cheer and increased volume> Should you?  For what? Passing out?  Oh, I'm sure the excitement just overwhelmed you, nothing you could do about that.  So nothing to apologize for.
[01:00] arynwyn: Ath: <still blushing and speaking quietly, though she smiles> No, not for that. For... what I said. Apparently. It was... not how I normally am. <staring at the floor>
[01:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: For what you said?  <shrugs> So long as you're not apologizing for kissing me.  I'm so sensitive about these things.  <melodrama>
[01:02] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs softly, stepping over to him> No, I'm not sorry about that. The kiss is about the only thing I really remember. And... it was a very nice kiss. At least I thought so. <still very red>
[01:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Um....thanks.  I didn't really do much but loan out my lips...'course you did sort of catch me off-guard.  Speaking of which...you up for some pre-class sparring? <smiles>
[01:04] arynwyn: Ath: <fights an eyeroll; Pre-class sparring? What about a pre-class kiss? <mental sigh>; she smiles a little> I'm not sure I am up for it. I'm a bit hungover... <she chews on her bottom lip> Oh, what the hell. You're going to beat me though. <she bubbles>
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pouts> No, it's not fair that way.  I want to say I beat you fair and square. <sighs> One day...
 Ms.T: <comes in having just finished her cigarette, and she's laughing so hard, she's coughing>
 Lyr: <turns to her as she enters and then approaches her with concern> Ms. Terrian?  Are you alright?
 Ms.T: I...<coughlaughcoughcough> ..just heard that you...<laughwheezecoughlaugh>...you two are...are <laughcough>...getting married?  <coughing fit mostly over, she's just cackling now>
 Lyr: <sighs as he pats his teacher on the back> Great.  Just got engaged and our marriage is already a joke.
[01:10] arynwyn: Ath: <turns crimson> ...why is that funny, Ms. Terrian? We're both of respectable families. <she's frowning>
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <chortles> You two though?  Seriously.  He's done nothing but antagonize you out of petty jealousy from the moment you walked in here, girl, and you nearly kicked his ass, despite all his hard work and training, your first day here.  Half the time I come in here, you two are sniping at each other.
 Lyr: <wryly> It's like we're already married....
 Ms.T: <that sends her into another giggle fit>
[01:13] arynwyn: Ath: <still frowning, she marches past Ms. T and toward the door>
[01:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: Where do you think you're going, girl? <the mirth is GONE> You came here for training.  It's what you're going to get.  Or have I been wasting my time with you after all?
[01:16] arynwyn: Ath: <turns, angry> I want to be trained, yes. But I will not be made a fool of, nor my marriage, nor my fiance. There is nothing humorous about our engagement.
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: <crosses over to Ath and studies her closely> Taking this awfully seriously, are we?  I'd heard it was all arranged by the heads of the family...
 Lyr: <sighs and rubs the back of his neck> Look, Ms. Terrian, today may not be the best day to be having this conversa....
 Ms.T: <silences him with an out-flung hand as she continues to peer at Ath>
[01:19] arynwyn: Ath: Yes, it is arranged. What does that have to do with anything? The marriage is good for both of our families, and what is good for my family is good for me. <glare>
[01:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: Oh, so your family tells you that you will "love, honor, cherish and obey" this man, and so you do?  Just like that? <she whaps Lyr hard in the chest, seemingly amused> Hear that, Mr. Sul'nova?  She loves you.
 Lyr: <rubbing his chest where she hit him> Great news, ma'am.  Truly.  <whispers an> Ow <as he keeps tending to his bruise>
[01:23] arynwyn: Ath: <turns even redder (if that's possible)> Enough! Either begin the training or I'm leaving. <still glaring>
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: Well I'm glad to hear you're at least considering staying with us.  We'll pick up with our Shadow Weaving techniques...come on then...
 Lyr: <looks between Ms. T. and Ath and decides that women will be his downfall one way or the other, then starts in on practice>
[01:26] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, then turns her glare on him> And I'm glad you stand up for yourself... and me. <and she falls into an icy silence, practicing her techniques>
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: [an hour later and it's cigarette break time; Ms.T resumes chuckling as she shuts the door behind her]
 
 Lyr: <sits against a wall and closes his eyes, taking a breather>
[01:29] arynwyn: Ath: <sits against the wall too, only not by him, her head falling into her hands>
[01:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <looks over at her> Overdo it, did you?
[01:33] arynwyn: Ath: I'm fine. <she brushes her hair away from her face and sighs> 
[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Aside from being hungover?
[01:34] arynwyn: Ath: <says again> I'm fine.
[01:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((WoW's going to have paid character name changes - $10 per change))
[01:35] arynwyn: (( Niiiice! When? Maybe I should change Rhee's name. >.> ))
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: And aside from your little...outburst earlier?
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's being slowly rolled out so...who knows?))
[01:36] arynwyn: Ath: <glaring at him> At least I have a spine. 
[01:36] arynwyn: (( Ah. ))
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <frowns> I'm sorry, did you say "a spine" or "a short fuse"? I must've misheard...
[01:38] arynwyn: Ath: <mutters> Typical... <she stands and picks up her cloak, tugging it on> I think I like you better when I'm drunk. <shakes her head> Well, actually, when I'm feeling sorry for you too. Like last night. <she looks at him for a long moment, judging him>
[01:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Yeah, <standing as well> you obviously liked me a WHOLE lot better when you'd had a snootful or two of champagne.  Cuddling up to me, suggesting we have sex, kissing me... You know, when our kids ask us how they were conceived, I'll be able to point to each one and name off a vintage and a year.
[01:42] arynwyn: Ath: <this brings tears to her eyes> You know, I was trying before I started drinking last night. I believe I complimented you, tried to make you see the bright side of things, but no... You wanted to throw your little fit. <she looks away, at the ground, ashamed of her tears>
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sighs and mutters an invective or two> You did compliment me, and I complimented you.  And yes, I was and am upset.  I don't have your martyr complex for my family.  Maybe that makes you stronger than I am, but I don't really give a damn.  I don't want to sacrifice myself.
 Are you the worst thing that could ever happen to me?  Not by a long shot.  But marriage and all this...this fucking baggage it comes with...I didn't want this.  I don't want it.  <turns and heads for the door, not storming or sulking, just walking out>
[01:48] arynwyn: Ath: <sinks to her knees in the middle of the floor, covering her face and crying softly> 
[01:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <stops with his hand on the knob, looks back at her, and curses under his breath again.  He turns to face her and leans against the door> Look, you're a knockout, you're smart, you've got a lot of talent at being a priestess.  And Ms. Terrian's right: I was mad at not having her sole attention, at having to compete with someone else...and, as it turned out, someone I had every reason to need to compete with.  You weren't just some flake whose parents bought your way in; you're really good.  But aside from that, I always thought you were...quite attractive.  It's not you.  I'm not rejecting you personally, so please stop crying?
[01:55] arynwyn: Ath: <wipes at her tears, blocking his view of her face with one had> Just go. You owe me nothing. <she stands and pulls the hood of her cloak up to cover her crying, then pushes past him out the door and disappears>
[01:55] arynwyn: Ath: <steps into the house, leaving her hood up, and heads to her room> (( Dunno where Mya is or whatever. ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya, Mya...probably...snitching a snack in the kitchens?))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( Mkay, then Ath's going to her room to cry for a while if Mya comes up and happens to hear that... <shrug> Or we could move on to something else. ))
[01:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <returns to her room with a plate of pilfered fruit, a slice of apple hanging out of her mouth; she notices the door to Ath's room is closed, and thinks: She shouldn't be home already.... and goes over to the door to knock.  She takes the apple out of her mouth> Athie? Sis?
[01:58] arynwyn: Ath: <mumblings and sniffings>
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <opens the door and looks at her, then ducks in and shuts the door> Ath, what happened? <she sets the plate down on Ath's nightstand and sort of sheepishly pops the apple slice in her mouth, since it's already sort of half-chewed on>
[02:02] arynwyn: Ath: <is facing away from the door, crying softly> He doesn't want this, he doesn't want me. I'm being forced to marry someone who doesn't want to marry me. He's so mean... <shakes her head> He's really just mean to me... I can't do this, Mya. I can't...
[02:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she goes over to Ath and pulls her into a hug> Did he hurt you? <stroking her hair> If he laid a hand on you, I'll rip it off....
[02:05] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> I wish he would have, then I could get out of this... <she leans against her sister, hugging her back tightly> He just.... makes me feel so worthless and stupid. And Ms. Terrian, our trainer, was laughing after she heard we were engaged, so I stood up for us, of course... and he made fun of me for it! He stood there and let her laugh at us, then when I told him he had no spine, he told me I had a short fuse. <begins sobbing quietly>
[02:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: She laughed at you?  Bitter old hag.... <pats Ath's back> I'm...actually kind of surprised you stood up to her though.  I mean, proud and all, but surprised.
[02:08] arynwyn: Ath: <groans> I was so humiliated. I had to stand up for what little pride I had left. I mean, after last night, and then this today? I don't know I if I can go back to the Temple...
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she just holds Ath and alternates between patting her back and stroking her hair, then asks quietly> Do you like him after all?
[02:11] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> How could I? <she sighs> Maybe... maybe you could hurt me and we could tell Furon that he did it? <barely hopeful> I can't go through with this, Mya. I can't.
[02:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'm not hurting you.  You're my sister.  I...I can't do that.  <sigh> We'll think of something though.
[02:14] arynwyn: Ath: <she finally pulls away and lays down on the bed> What should I do? I feel so... trapped. <she sighs and rubs her temples> And I have a terrible headache...
[02:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, sleep will help the headache.  And I'll....think of something.  <she sits on the edge of the bed> I still think I ought to have a long "talk" with the guy....it'd make me feel better, at least. <smile>
[02:16] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> Do what you want. I don't care. He already hates me, I don't have to worry about that. <she pulls the blanket up over her> I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me for dinner.
[02:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Okay.  <picks up her plate of fruit and sighs> I just really want you to be happy, Athie.
[02:18] arynwyn: Ath: <looks up at her> Then figure out a way for me not to marry this man. <she rolls over on her side and closes her eyes>
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <quietly leaves and shuts the door behind her>
 
 ((I think I require rum & coke and chips & salsa...))
[02:19] arynwyn: (( okies. think about what we should do next. too. ^^ ))
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have a bit of an idea :) ))
[02:22] arynwyn: (( sweet. ready when you are! :-D ))
[02:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <It's well past dinner when Mya knocks on Ath's door.  In fact, night has officially fallen>
[02:23] arynwyn: Ath: <says quietly> Come in. <she's been awake for some time, but she had no will to get up>
[02:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <comes in, in her rogue gear> Come on, put on something nice.  You're overdue to learn about one of the family secrets, and I've a surprise for you, big sister.
[02:25] arynwyn: Ath: <sits up and looks her over> Something nice? How nice? <she quickly climbs out of bed, excited by this "surprise"> 
 
 (( Heh, Ath has a thing for surprises. >.> ))
[02:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <thinks> You have anything tight-fitting that shows either a lot of cleavage, a lot of leg or a lot of both? <grins>
[02:27] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow and goes over to her drawer. she pulls a long black skirt with a slit to high thigh, and a tight tanktop that does, indeed, show quite a bit of cleavage. she changes quickly> Should I pull my hair back? And what kind of shoes should I wear?
[02:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: We have quite a bit of walking to do.  And I'd leave your hair down.  <she walks over and sort of fluffs and teases Ath's hair> There....makes you look like you just rolled out of bed after hours of thrashing around. <grins>
[02:29] arynwyn: Ath: <slips on a pair of black knee-high boots and grabs her black cloak> Where, exactly, are we going? <she's dying of curiosity>
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: The basement.  For a start...<heading downstairs>
[02:31] arynwyn: Ath: ... <follows, grinning slightly>
[02:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <Mya reveals a secret door in the basement leading to a long dark path, only occasionally illuminated with glowing orbs.  She makes sure to point out to Ath where she's turning and why when they hit forks in the path.  After a long walk, they come out in what would appear to be a wine cellar.  A slumped figure is tied to a chair, but there's only one light orb and it's positioned closer to the door than to the center of the room>
 Mya: <takes the orb and repositions it closer to the only other person with them> See?  Surprise.  <pulls his head up, and it's clearly Lyr.  He doesn't seem injured - in fact, he seems asleep.  Aside from being tied though, he has a gag in his mouth> He'll wake up soon.
[02:35] arynwyn: Ath: ...why is he here? <she frowns at him, then looks to Mya> What are we going to do?
[02:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> Your call.  You can beat him up if you want; why should I have all the fun?  Or if you just want to yell at him and not worry about his being mean to you back...well, that's why he's gagged.  
 Lyr: <starts to stir, and a low groan escapes around the gag>
 Mya: Have fun. <she smiles at her sister> I'll be just down the tunnel if you need anything...<and disappears>
[02:37] arynwyn: Ath: <watches her sister go and freezes in terror. she looks back at Lyr, wide-eyed>
[02:37] arynwyn: (( Heh, Mya need to tell Dres about this secret entrance. >.> ))
[02:38] arynwyn: *needs
[02:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: Do I? Hmm....no, don't think I do. ^_~ ))
 
 Lyr: <blinks his eyes open and peers around.  It takes him a bit to process "strange room/gagged/tied to chair/Athame looking sexy"...and he clearly has no idea what to do with this information once his brain receives it.  He looks at her in obvious confusion> Mmmf!  Mmmfmmnmffmm!  <he struggles against his bonds in confused indignation>
 
 ((Ah gags.))
[02:41] arynwyn: Ath: <looks back toward Mya for a moment, then back at him> I didn't do this to you. <she holds up her hands defensively. she looks back for Mya again> Mya! I don't know what you expect me to do!
[02:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs from somewhere close by in the tunnels> Whatever you want.  Honestly...
 
 Lyr: Mmf?! <tries so hard to get out of the ropes the chair hops>
 
 Mya: ...he's just going to wreck his clothes and eventually hurt himself if he keeps doing that, by the way.  The ropes are too tight for him to get out of.
[02:44] arynwyn: Ath: Stop! Lyranon, stop. You're going to hurt yourself. <she steps over to him and, sighing, removes his gag> I'll put this back on if you yell at me. 
[02:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: What in all the hells is going on?!  One minute, I'm sitting outside the Temple, the next minute, I'm here!
[02:46] arynwyn: Ath: <she slaps him, then looks a littl shocked that she did. she rubs her hands on her thighs> Don't yell. <she looks around for a place to sit>
[02:46] arynwyn: *little
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: <there are various barrels around the "cellar" they're in>
 
 Lyr: <looks more than a little shocked that she slapped him> Fine, I won't yell...but...Light, do you hate me this much?
[02:48] arynwyn: Ath: I never said I hated you. You're the one who so easily passed judgement on me. <she drags a barrel over by him and hops up on it, her skirt hiking up so the slit goes to her hip>
[02:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <eyes the slit in her skirt and the skin it reveals for a bit> If you don't hate me, then why was I kidnapped and why am I being held captive?
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Talk about catching a man...))
[02:50] arynwyn: Ath: That's my sister's idea of a present to me. I spent the day crying because of you. Does that make you happy, in some sick way? <she sighs and crosses her arms, which pushes her breasts up (she is, of course, unaware of all of this... or is she? <evil grin>-)>
[02:51] arynwyn: *evil grin> )>
[02:51] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Dres'll be jealous. >.> I can hear him now... "Why didn't you kidnap me and tie me up down in some cellar?! That's so hot." <giggle> ))
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: <pouts> I was saving it for our "official" honeymoon....))
 
 Lyr: <duly notices the ample cleavage on display for his benefit> No, it doesn't make me happy.  No man who truly deserves to be called a man likes making a woman cry.
[02:53] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[02:54] arynwyn: Ath: Well, that's something in your favor then. <she sighs> Tell me why I should release you at all. I mean... if you disappear, then I don't have to be unhappily married. I could leave you down here to rot, and right now I'm kind of inclined to do so. 
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Go ahead.  I'm still thinking I want out of this marriage more than you do.  I don't see much difference between a slow, wasting death down here and an even slower, wasting death.....um...back where we came from.  Where is here anyway?  I can't figure it out... <looking around>
[02:58] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> It doesn't matter. And if that's how you look at it, fine. <her eyes are tearing up again as she hops down off the barrel, walking back over with the gag> Die down here then. <she leans in close, offering a nice view of her chest> You don't know what you're missing.
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <eyes on her chest momentarily> You have it wrong.  <looks up at her> YOU don't know what I'd be missing.  I know...that's why dying of thirst and starvation sounds preferable...though I'm sure I'll regret the decision at some point...<back to looking down her shirt>
[03:00] arynwyn: Ath: <rolls her eyes> Oh, and what would you be missing? 
[03:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Everything I want.  Everything I like about who I am.  Father doesn't believe a priest would be of any use to our family.  He doesn't believe a priest can support a proper noblewoman in the style to which she's accustomed.  And since I have to marry a proper noblewoman, I'll also have to quit the Temple, thus making all the time I've spent coughing on Ms. Terrian's smoke in vain, and go to work for my father, learning to run the family business.  I don't care about minerals and metals and ores.  I don't give a damn about profits and percentages.  And I know what happens down there in those mines.  I'd shut the damn things down if I had my way...but that won't be until after Father dies, and he's real spry and healthy for his age.  Had me when he was young too, not much older than I am now.  
 So by the time Father dies and I truly inherit?  My priest training will be half-forgotten, at least, and I'll have endured decades of running those Light-forsaken death traps.
 THAT'S what happens when I marry.  THAT'S what I get to look forward to.  Oh sure, I get to come home and screw you every night....which I admit is a perk...<eyeing her chest again> but I still won't be able to sleep.
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry that was long))
[03:06] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and bows her head> Then how do you expect to get out of this? Treating me like shit isn't going to do anything except make us both unhappy. It's unproductive. We need a plan. <she goes to sit back down on the barrel>
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I wasn't trying to get out of it. I was just...taking it out on you.  Which...honestly isn't much better, I know, but...<he sighs> 
 As for plans...I don't know.  At this point, if you want to say I kidnapped you, go for it.  If my reputation gets ruined, maybe Father will disown me.  Though...I really don't want that.  I do care about my family, despite what you may think.
[03:09] arynwyn: Ath: <crosses her arms again> That won't solve anything. I don't want anyone's reputation ruined... <she turns back to the tunnel> Mya? Are you listening?
[03:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ... ...why I'm here, hearing Mr. Whiny pour his heart out in there instead of screwing my fiance's brains out, I'll never know...but yes, I'm listening.
 Lyr: <arches an eyebrow> Umm...just, for clarification's sake...er...actually, nevermind.
 Mya: <laughs throatily> Yes, when Ath was in her cups and was talking about the "dandy time" I have with my fiance, that's exactly what she was referring to.
[03:13] arynwyn: Ath: <chuckles> Any suggestions, Mya? Think Furon has any power to help him? Some kind of marriage contract or something? I'm kind of at a loss...
[03:13] arynwyn: (( 'sides, it's night. Dres is off working. =P ))
[03:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: ...a girl can dream, can't she?))
 
 Mya: So...you do like him. <she sounds smug>
 Lyr: <looks confused, but also turns his attention to Ath's face rather than certain other parts of her body>
[03:15] arynwyn: Ath: <glares at the tunnel where Mya is hiding> That's besides the point. Like him or not, I feel bad for him. We should do something to help, don't you think? <but she's blushing>
[03:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I think it has relevance.  There's always the "run away from the world and all our responsibilities" response...but we'd miss you, sis.
[03:17] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> I'm not going anywhere, Mya. <shakes her head> I couldn't. I've found my family, after a year alone, and I'm not doing that again. I know I wouldn't be alone, exactly, but I'd miss you all too much.
[03:20] Chaos Angel Sox: <there's a long silence>
 Mya: ....you think you two can keep up the arguing?  Only make it about stuff that's relevant to the wedding?  Let Aunt Selah know you're planning your own wedding, and then you two start in on the bitchfests again?  That'll buy time.  Although...you also need to try to make it seem like you both really want the wedding, you're just of differing minds on how it should be done.  Otherwise, Uncle Furon'll step in, appoint Aunt Selah to oversee the whole thing, and you'll be trapped before you know it.
[03:20] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> What good will all of that do? 
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Buy time for us to think of a way out that doesn't involve running away or ruining reputations.
 Lyr: I...suppose, but...
[03:22] arynwyn: Ath: <looks back at Lyr> But? Do you have a better idea?
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...not really.  I just...don't want Athame to be uncomfortable.  We'd...we'd have to act like a couple, like we wanted to be married.
[03:27] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> That idea doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you, Lyranon. <blushing again> 
[03:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: It only really bothers me because of...the havoc marrying anybody causes the rest of my life.  Well, and...it bothers me to marry someone I don't know.  I mean, I sort of know you, and I like what I know...er...if that made any sense...
[03:29] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> This isn't going to work then. Just forget it. <she stands back up> 
[03:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ....so you don't even want to try to get to know me then?  If...if we "buy time" to figure out how to get around my father's...demands...then we could spend that time getting to know one another, right?  
[03:32] arynwyn: Ath: <eyes him> Do you want to try? I'm not the one with the problem. <she steps over and kneels in front of him, looking up into his eyes> I'm up for whatever. I'm up for just getting married, but you're the one who doesn't want that, though I admit for a good reason. It's really your decision, whatever you want to do.
[03:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: If I were free to date, I'd ask you out.  But I seem to have this engagement problem...<smile that says "See? It's a joke!  Don't slap me again!">
[03:35] arynwyn: Ath: <chuckles and stands up, reaching out to brush some hair out of his face> We'll deal with that. <she leans down and kisses him softly, on impulse, her hand stroking his cheek>
[03:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <kisses her back this time, despite his surprise> ...so, um...can I...be released now?
 
 <a sheathed knife slides across the floor and comes to a stop near Ath's feet>
 Mya: The ropes are too tight to be untied.  Don't worry, that one's not poisoned.
[03:38] arynwyn: Ath: <smirks> What if I'm not ready to release you? <she ignores the knife at her feet, running her hand down along his neck>
[03:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <chuckles> I didn't realize this was your sort of thing.  Let me know when it's my turn to tie you up, okay?  I'll be nice and let you be conscious during that part too.
[03:42] arynwyn: Ath: <grins> You don't know me, remember? <but she bends down and picks up the knife, circling around behind him to cut his bindings>
[03:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <flexes his arms and, when they're free, rubs them as if he were cold> Man, she really did a good job on those...I think I lost feeling in my arms below my biceps...<rubs faster, attempting to restore blood flow to his extremities>
[03:45] arynwyn: Ath: <casts a small healing spell, then resheaths the knife> She's good at what she does. Very good. <she gives him a shy smile>
[03:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Well you're good at what you do.  I still want to spar with you at some point when some psycho-chick with a knife isn't going to be around...<looks at Ath holding the sheathed blade> ....present company excluded of course. <grin>
[03:46] arynwyn: Ath: If I tell her not to interfere, she won't. Right Mya? <she's still smiling up at him>
[03:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <no response>
 
 Lyr: ...I...think she left?
[03:48] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> Want to try? <she sets the knife on a barrel and casts a shield spell, grinning>
[03:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Sparring now? <standing and stretching, kicking the chair away behind him> I suppose I'm up for it...just keep in mind that if you win, it was because I was drugged, kidnapped, bound and gagged.
[03:50] arynwyn: Ath: No excuses. I was going to duel you hungover earlier. On three? 
[03:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Wait, wait...1, 2, and go on 3 or 1, 2, 3 and then go?
[03:51] arynwyn: Ath: <grins> Three! <she casts SW: Pain on him, then starts on a Mindblast>
[03:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <barely has time to bubble through the pain and casts his own SW: Pain on her>
[03:53] Chaos Angel Sox: *thought, not time
[03:53] arynwyn: (( Who's gunna win? >.> ))
[03:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I do not know; he knows more spells, but if she's using what she knows more efficiently and/or healing herself better....I'd think he'd be Shadow/Discipline spec.  Ms.T's been teaching them Shadow Weaving which is a 15 point talent in the Shadow spec tree...so that'd be level...25 then?))
[03:56] arynwyn: (( She's pure Shadow, so... Eh... lessee... Hm... I dunno. ))
[03:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm, so her Shadow spells are more effective, I'd think?  Discipline basically increases how long he can last <giggle> but if her spells are doing more damage...we may be back to a draw....'cept he has been bound to a chair for a couple hours.  I'd say that gives her the edge. ^_^ ))
[03:59] arynwyn: (( Yeah. Well... we could always do the OOM thing at the same time. >.> ))
[03:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure ^_^ ))
[03:59] arynwyn: (( Mkay ))
[04:00] arynwyn: Ath: <battles hard and battles well, but she has a mana conservation problem, so... once again, ten minutes later, she's panting and in agonizing pain, backed into a corner and waiting for him to make a move, since she's out of mana> 
[04:01] arynwyn: (( d'you know the anime Elfen Lied? ))
[04:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <is scraping for breath as well, feeling drained and exhausted.  His muscles are not happy with him, and he watches her warily> ...can I...ask you a question?...
 
 ((I know of it but I don't really know what it's about))
[04:03] arynwyn: (( Ah, okay ))
[04:03] arynwyn: Ath: <pant> Sure thing, dearest. <grin>
[04:04] arynwyn: *change dearest to sweetheart
[04:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <grins through his heavy breathing> Why'd you wear that? <nodding to the tight sexyness she's got on>
[04:06] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs> My sister told me too. I had no idea I was coming to see you. Though, if I did know, I probably would have anyway. <she straightens up, unsure if they're done, still on her guard> We finished? Calling it a draw again?
[04:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...I suppose I can let you off easy this time...<runs a hand through his hair and tries to be suave and impressive looking>
[04:09] arynwyn: Ath: <smirks and straightens out her clothing, stepping over to him> Why thank you. Such a gentleman you are. <her voice has taken on Mya's smokey quality> 
[04:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <arches an eyebrow> Glad you think so.  The gentleman needs a cold drink and a warm bed about now though.
 
 ((which reminds me - I should go to bed soonish...like less than an hour.  I have lab today at 1:25 and it's already past 4....))
[04:12] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[04:12] arynwyn: (( Does Ath know how to get him home? >.> ))
[04:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya told her the things to look for so she should know where to turn to get back...unless she forgot ^_^ ))
[04:14] arynwyn: (( to get him back? is she supposed to take him to the house? ))
[04:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's the only way she knows. ^_^; ))
[04:15] arynwyn: (( Okies. ))
[04:16] arynwyn: Ath: <fights a roll of the eyes and nods> I only  know how to get back to my house, though... <she picks up Mya's knife and starts down the tunnel, looking back over her shoulder for him>
[04:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <follows> It's more than I know how to do...<looking around at the tunnels> Light...I'd be so lost in this place...
[04:18] arynwyn: Ath: I'd never been down here until tonight. Didn't even know this place existed. <leading down the tunnel> 
[04:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...interesting family you have.
[04:20] arynwyn: Ath: <laugh> You have NO idea. <she comes to the secret door that leads to their basement and pushes it open silently. she turns around and puts a finger to her lips to keep him quiet, then sneaks in>
[04:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sneaks into the house, feeling...well...sneaky, and grinning>
[04:22] arynwyn: Ath: <creeps up the stairs and peeks through the door, then whispers> No one's around. It's a straight shot to outside. Come on. <she pushes the door open and slips into the house, then heads to the door>
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <follows, tiptoeing dramatically and looking around shiftily, like he's Supaa-Ninja-Thief-Man!>
[04:24] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
 
 Ath: <takes his hand and leads him to the front door, opening it and pulling him out into the fresh air. she giggles softly> Man, I should have been a rogue like my sister...
[04:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I suppose, <he replies quietly> but then I wouldn't have gotten to know you at all before we were engaged. <smile>
[04:27] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes a little and returns the smile for a moment, before looking away bashfully> I suppose that's true. Do you know how to get home from here?
[04:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <nods> I remember it like it was only yesterday...since it was. <he studies her for a minute, then leans down to whisper in her ear> Love the outfit, by the way.
[04:31] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes more and grins up at him> I'll keep that in mind. <she looks up at him, wishing he'd kiss her but makes no move to do so herself. after a moment>  I'm sorry about the whole kidnapping thing, but at least we got things worked out.
[04:31] arynwyn: *making
[04:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <shrugs> Can't say I'm used to being tied up by beautiful women, but aside from a little muscle stiffness ((<cough clear throat> Lyr: Not that muscle...)), I can't say I really minded either.  <brushes some hair out of her face> So...if I try to kiss you right now, am I going to get smacked or kneed in the groin or hit with a Shadow Word or anything like that?
[04:34] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles up at him> Wouldn't it be worth taking that chance? <and yes, more blushing>
[04:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pretends to consider that> Weeellll.....maaaaybee...<grins at her before leaning in to kiss her>
[04:37] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs for a moment until his lips touch hers, then she falls silent, returning the kiss deeply. her hands grab the chest of his robe/shirt and tug him close>
[04:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he wraps his arms around her gently, despite the shock of her sudden grab attack, and gradually pulls away, over the course of several minutes>...nice to know I'm actually this attractive to you.
[04:41] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and rests her head on his chest while he holds her, still flushed> Yes, well... <she giggles softly> I was upset when I first learned it was you I am to marry, but now... I rather like the idea.
[04:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm getting tolerable, am I?  I should end up tied to a chair more often...
[04:43] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs> Careful how loudly you say that; Mya might overhear. <she pulls away enough to look up at him> More than tolerable. <bites her bottom lip> What about me? Am I so dreadful?
[04:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Not you.  Not you at all.  You are, as the saying goes, a "stone cold fox."
[04:46] arynwyn: Ath: <grins> I can't say that's a compliment I've ever gotten before. But besides my looks? 
[04:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Wait, you have traits besides your looks?  <grins> You're smart <quick kiss> you're charming <quick kiss> you're a very talented priestess who can cause a lot of pain....<not-so-quick kiss>
[04:49] arynwyn: Ath: <returns the kisses and giggles softly> Mm, much better. That's what a woman likes to hear. 
[04:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Right, so from now on, no more compliments about your looks.  Got it.
[04:50] arynwyn: Ath: Hey! I didn't say that! <laughs> Those are good, but I don't want to feel like my looks are the only reason you like me. 
 
 (( <laugh> He needs Lore lessons. ))
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore would say "What guy doesn't?"))
 
 Lyr: <smiles> I like your smile...and your laugh too.  But I should probably go home now. <sighs, looking into her eyes>
[04:54] arynwyn: Ath: <nods slowly, transfixed as she looks up at him> Yes, get some sleep. <she reluctantly lets his shirt/robe go> Will I see you tomorrow?
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: We're not required for training at the Temple tomorrow.  So...if you want to see me...I can pick you up for lunch? 
[04:57] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Sounds perfect. <leans up for a last, quick kiss, then, with a smile, heads back inside>
[04:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <watches her go and shakes his head> Things just get more surreal...but a good type of surreal. <he puts his hands in his robe's pockets and strolls towards home>
[04:59] arynwyn: (( okies. <huggles> Happy sleepings. Lots of cleaning for me tomorrow. >.< ))
[04:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh. fun. :P <huggleses and Halloween candies>))
[05:00] arynwyn: (( sweet. see you tomorrow! good luck at lab ))
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((thanks.  :)  ))
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Happy sleepings to you too when you get there :D ))
[05:00] arynwyn: (( thanks! ))

[22:46] arynwyn: <pokety?>
[22:46] Chaos Angel Sox: <dodge pokes and hug>
[22:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ...still in Lyr's color...
[22:47] arynwyn: <laughs and hugs>
[22:47] arynwyn: Haha.
[22:47] arynwyn: I have new drama for Dres & Mya! :-D
[22:47] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY!! 
 I'm making ghosts.  :) 
 Also I posted a bunch of babbling on LJ >.>
[22:47] arynwyn: Making ghosts? O_o
[22:48] arynwyn: Sweet. I'll check after I write this email. Oh, plus... I got the cutest haircut today! 
[22:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Piccies? 
[22:48] arynwyn: Uhm. My camera just got packed up. >.<
[22:49] Chaos Angel Sox: I bought these plastic sheets that have ghost faces on 'em.  You stuff 'em with crumpled paper, twist tie and then voila! ghosts!
[22:49] arynwyn: <laugh> Nice!!
[22:49] Chaos Angel Sox: <fighting with DVD player cables>
 
 And I want piccies as soon as you unpack camera :P
[22:50] arynwyn: Uhm. Okay... probably not until I'm in MN though. >.>
[22:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ;__; I see how it is.
 
 <huggles anyway>
[22:50] arynwyn: Sorry! <huggles>
[22:51] arynwyn: Okay, so... I'm leaving at 7:45 to go see a movie; if you want to RP we've got a bit, but we should get started. ^^
[22:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay! so, drama?
[22:51] arynwyn: Heh, Dres misses the wedding. >.>
[22:52] arynwyn: 'cause his new charge is a 10 year old girl and she gets kidnapped so he's gonna be working like nutso to get her back. >.>
[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O oh dear...
[22:52] arynwyn: <laugh> Don't like it?
[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: No, I do! :D
[22:52] arynwyn: Okies.
[22:53] Chaos Angel Sox: drat I watned to show you the humidifier we bought today but they don't show it online ;__; 
[22:53] arynwyn: aw.
[22:53] Chaos Angel Sox: It has an "Aquarium" in the front part of it - bubbles, and plastic fish and color changing lights... :3 I'm such a kid.
[22:54] arynwyn: <laugh> nice!! 
[22:54] arynwyn: And what's this about Ash working up courage?! He knows Hal wants to marry him!
[22:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah but guys are almost, to a man, complete and utter cowards when it comes to asking a girl to marry them.
[22:54] arynwyn: Sweeeet. The Return of Sasuke!
[22:54] arynwyn: So true...
[22:56] arynwyn: Mkay, I are ready when you is ready!
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: In my favorite comic, one of the male characters was practicing asking his girlfriend (one of the main charas) to marry him, and the villainness in that story arc overheard him.  She used magic to look like his girlfriend, walked in on him practicing and told him she NEVER wanted to marry him, that she was just using him for sex and his mushy romanticness disgusted her and she never wanted to see him again.
 
 It took him another 24 issues to work the nerve back up to actually ask her, even after finding out that wasn't her. >.>
[22:56] Chaos Angel Sox: I are READY baby! :D
[22:56] arynwyn: Oh no!
[22:57] Chaos Angel Sox: of course she tackle-hugged him when he actually proposed ^_~ and then there was wedding issue of silly fun so yay.  but still....the look on his face.... ;__;  poor man.
[22:57] arynwyn: <laugh>
[22:58] arynwyn: Okay, my hair looks mostly like this, except I have no bangs, and my hair is blonde. (Link: http://www.grechenscloset.com/images/personal_pictures/april07.jpg)http://www.grechenscloset.com/images/personal_pictures/april07.jpg
[22:59] arynwyn: So who're we starting with? :-D
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh that is cute!! :D
[22:59] arynwyn: Yay!
[22:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Ummm....should we go through the whole "the groom seems to be missing" thing, or cut straight to Mya being pissy? ^_^;;
[23:00] arynwyn: THIS! (Link: http://www.virtualhaircare.com/images/Maurice_Meade/Mid_blonde_bob2.jpg)http://www.virtualhaircare.com/images/Maurice_Meade/Mid_blonde_bob2.jpg
[23:00] arynwyn: Uhm... either. You pick. >.>
[23:00] arynwyn: But Dres is gone a few days, at least. Well, days & nights.
[23:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Nice! :D
 
 And umm....might as well skip the actual wedding-ness.  You can bet Furon's got men out looking for Dres...though I'm sure he can evade them.  And Mya's just been worried sick.
[23:02] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Doin' some other stuffs. Eating or chillin' with the husband. 
[23:03] arynwyn: okies... so start with Dres showing back up?
[23:03] Chaos Angel Sox: <nod nod>
[23:04] arynwyn: Dres: <shows up at dawn two days after their wedding was supposed to be. he's scowling and wearing his rogue clothes, and his hand is bandaged. he taps on Mya's door>
[23:04] arynwyn: *the house door
[23:05] Chaos Angel Sox: <the butler answers and arches an eyebrow.  He looks him over> You appear to be uninjured, sir.  <the butler is not moving to let him in yet>
[23:06] arynwyn: Dres: <sighs> I need to see Myanara.
[23:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <He seems to think about that for a minute> Wait here. <mumbles something about not wanting to mop up anymore blood stains and closes the door in his face>
 
 
 
 
 Mya: <opens the front door in a blue low-cut V-neck sweater and black skirt, and folds her arms, frowning.  She's also very clearly not intending to let him in.  She looks at him expectantly>
[23:11] arynwyn: Dres: <scowls at her for a moment> I know you're upset. You think I wanted to miss our wedding? I'm almost as pissed as you are. Only at a different person, of course. <he sighs and glances around> I have an explanation, but I can't give it here, Mya. Either let me in or come somewhere with me.
[23:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she thinks about that> We'd better go somewhere else; I think my sisters may gut you.  I know my father will.  And you better hope and pray I talk to Uncle Furon before his men find you and drag you off to him. <she steps out and closes the door after her>
[23:14] arynwyn: Dres: <nods and begins toward his father's house, silent and scowling still. he gets a couple of horses and helps her on hers, then climbs on his own. they set off for his cabin>
[23:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <keeps her eyes glued to him for the entire ride, and has absolutely no trouble maintaining her usual cool, aloof attitude.  Well, maybe a little trouble - there is a large part of her just happy he's alive>
[23:17] arynwyn: Dres: <puts the horses away, giving her the key to let herself in, then goes in after her. he kicks off his boots and goes to the kitchen> Something to drink? <he pulls out his rum and a couple of glasses, pouring them each a glass without her answer. he downs his quickly, then pours another>
[23:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sets her glass aside> So tell me who pulled you away from our "official" wedding, so that I can wipe him...or her....from existence. <refolding arms>
[23:21] arynwyn: Dres: <begins to undo the bandage on his hand> My new charge is a ten year old girl. She was kidnapped the day before our wedding. When I showed up at my post that night, there was chaos. We spent until late last night searching and working to get her back. <sighs and dumps some of the rum on a nasty gash in his hand, then pulls out a fresh bandage> Needless to say, the guy working the day post has been... terminated. I'm sorry I missed the wedding. I really, truly am. But I had no choice, Mya. <he finally looks up at her>
[23:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ... ...did you find her?  And her kidnapper? <still cool, but there's not quite so hard an edge to her voice>
[23:23] arynwyn: Dres: <nods> She's back safe. The man who kidnapped her, and ransomed her, is dead. <he leans back and sighs> The past few days has been hell.
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs also, and looks at his freshly re-bandaged hand> That the worst of the damage? <she asks with a nod>
[23:26] arynwyn: Dres: <shakes his head> The rest Keira healed. And another guy was hurt pretty badly. The kidnapper barracaded him and the girl in a small house, and he had a small arsenal of dynamite and bombs. It was pretty nasty...
[23:28] arynwyn: *barricaded
[23:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she can't take it anymore; she pulls him over to her and squeezes the daylights out of him> Just making sure your ribs weren't broken before I did this...
[23:29] arynwyn: Dres: <wraps his arms around her and crushes her to him, his face in her hair> I missed you. I'm so sorry, Mya. I really am. Is there any way I can make this up to you?
[23:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Showing up for the rescheduled wedding would be a good start... <she looks up at him and pulls him down to kiss him desperately> Drag the kid with you if you have to.
[23:32] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles grimly and returns the kiss deeply> I'll be there. I promise. 
[23:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You miss this wedding, and I swear to whatever gods still exist I Will Track You Down and DRAG you there, and I don't give a damn what you're doing at the time.  Got me? <returns to clinging to him possessively>
[23:36] arynwyn: Dres: <chuckles lightly> I'd lose my job if I left my post without a replacement. And that's the least of what they'd do to me... <holds her tightly and trails kisses down her neck> But I'll be there, Lovely. Don't worry. <kissing her ear> Do you have a date and time yet?
[23:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Not yet.  I think my uncle's still planning your funeral.  So you tell me when you know you can be there, and I'll let him know what happened.
[23:40] arynwyn: Dres: <pulls away and sighs> Damn it. <he runs a hand through his hair> I'll talk to The Phoenix about time off again. I should get some extra time, since they caused me to miss my wedding, and the other time off I requested. I'll stop in tonight before I go to my post. 
[23:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns> When do you have to leave?
[23:41] arynwyn: Dres: I have to be at my post at sunset, as usual. <kisses her jawline> So I'll have to leave an hour or so beforehand, so I can stop by headquarters.
[23:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: So...do you have time to...comfort me...before you go back to work? <She ought to be smirking slyly at him, but she can't completely wipe the hopeful pleading look out of her eyes>
[23:44] arynwyn: Dres: <growls playfully and pushes her back into a laying position on the couch, his hands running down her body. he kisses her deeply, then pulls away, grinning> 
[23:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <grins a bit more like herself> I can take that as a yes?
[23:46] arynwyn: Dres: <stands and picks her up, carrying her into the bedroom> That's a hell yes, Lovely. <kisses her again>
[23:47] arynwyn: (( d'you want to RP this or FF/switch to something else? ^^ ))
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Either way. ^_^; 
 Mya: I want to do more than RP it...
 Yes, yes, but you're getting laid whether we talk about it or not. 
 Mya: Oh?  Then I'm good.))
[23:48] arynwyn: (( <laughs> Wanna switch then? We could do more with Ath & Lyr? Or go back to Mai & Mal? Or Keth & Zadie? <shrug> You pick. ))
[23:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Too many choices!!! Aaaaaaaaaaa!))
[23:48] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[23:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm.....well you did have that eeeeeeeeeeeeevil for Keth & Zadie....poor Keth...
 Keth: (As I remember his color) Poor me?  What?  Damnit, I kind of liked being left alone with the love of my life.))
[23:51] arynwyn: (( What color was Zadie? Did she have a color? Hmm... ))
[23:51] arynwyn: (( How's this? <shrug> ))
[23:52] arynwyn: Zadie: <is in the apartment, on the couch in the sitting room, curled up in a ball, a blanket around her. she's shaking, crying, sobbing, and, in general, hysterical>
[23:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keth: Lovely color :) ))
 
 Keth: <comes back with groceries -including lots of chocolate- and some hot carry out food.  When he catches sight of her, he drops the bags and hurries over to her, kneeling next to the couch and reaching out for her> Zadie?  Love?  What is it?  I brought more chocolate...  ((He's been through a couple emotional fits with her by now, I'd think >.> ))
[23:56] arynwyn: (( <nodnodnodnod> Zadie: HEY! I'm pregnant! What do you expect?! ))
 
 Zadie: <wraps her arms around him tightly and sobs against him for another, oh... five minutes before she calms enough to spit out> Oh Keth! The priest... she said... she said there's something wrong with the baby!...  <begins to sob again, clinging to him>
[23:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: What?  What's...what's wrong with the baby?  How do we fix it?  <he's patting her back and stroking her hair in an attempt to calm her, but he sounds terrified>
[23:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Btw - found out Betty Crocker has chocolate molten lava cakes you can just microwave for single servings.  Joe and I bought some at the store earlier; haven't had it yet.))
[23:59] arynwyn: Zadie: <sobs for a few minutes, then finally> ...we can't...  <clinging to him tightly still> ...she said... she said that... <whispering, horrified at the words> ...I have to abort or... or I will most likely die in childbirth... <she looks up at him, her eyes terrified and shiny with tears>
[23:59] arynwyn: (( oooooooooooooo!! <drool> ))
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: ... ... ...oh gods...<his eyes are wide> Oh, Zadie...I...<he kisses her softly>...I'm...<pulls her in against him tighter again> Gods, I'm sorry....
[00:04] arynwyn: Zadie: <begins to sob again> ...what are we going to do?... <buries her face in his neck> ...what are we going to do?... <she keeps muttering this, as if a magical solution would come to her if she asked it enough>
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: Zadie...I...this is terrible news, but...I won't...I can't lose you.  <his hands grip her tightly> I can't.  I wanted to be a father, and maybe we can...can try again later.  But...but I...no.  Just...no.  <starting to cry>
[00:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((As I remember that Keth's mother died giving birth to him... >_< and his father blamed him for it....))
[00:06] arynwyn: (( Oh. O_o Oops. >.> ))
[00:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((But that just makes it sooooo much better....<evil grin>
 Keth: Great.  Thanks a lot.  Really. >.>))
[00:08] arynwyn: Zadie: <sobbing and shaking still> Then... then we have to.. to do... this <emphasizes the this, 'cause she can't bear to say "abortion" again> soon... she said within... a week... <she looks up at him> I need you there, Keth... I can't do this alone... 
[00:08] arynwyn: (( Aww. <huggles Keth> It's 'cause we love you! <giggle> And love torturing you. ))
[00:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keth: ....no offense, but I'm not sure I want that kind of love....))
 
 Keth: I'll be there.  I'll be right next to you, I promise.  <kisses the top of her head repeatedly, still leaking tears> Right here.  Not going anywhere.
[00:10] arynwyn: Zadie: <sobs and cries and shakes and is miserable in general>
[00:11] arynwyn: (( FF? or do you have more you want to say? ))
[00:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keth's just going to be his usual emo self, so I'm done.
 Keth: :P
[00:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[00:11] arynwyn: (( Yeah. Zadie is going to sink into a deep depression. Feelings of inadequacy and all that. >.< ))
[00:12] arynwyn: (( d'you wanna RP more of that or skip to someone else? ))
[00:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmmm....you've still got time, right? I vote for more torment of these two))
[00:12] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[00:13] arynwyn: (( so, FF to when? ))
[00:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm....going to the priest/doc/whoever's doing the abortion?  or sometime before that? I dunno...))
[00:14] arynwyn: (( prolly to the abortion. who's doing the priest? ))
[00:15] arynwyn: (( I figure they'll just give her a potion, yeah? ))
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I could pull Enora out.))
[00:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> Probably.))
[00:15] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[00:15] arynwyn: (( So, two days later? ))
[00:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[00:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((who start?))
[00:16] arynwyn: (( You wanna? I'm not sure where to start... ))
[00:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <is there to greet them when they walk up, putting an arm around Zadie's shoulders as she ushers them towards a private room in the Temple> Ohh, bless you both; I know this is hard.  I know, child...<patting her reassuringly>
 Keth: <keeps a firm grip on Zadie's hand, giving it a squeeze now and then>
 
 ((How's that?))
[00:19] arynwyn: Zadie: <grasps Keth's hand tightly, sniffling and letting herself be led, her head bowed>
[00:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <opens the door to a room with a lounge, a few chairs, and a sidebar with various potions on it> Okay, child, lay on the lounge, face up.  <pat pat>  I promise, it'll be quick and as painless as it can be, for everyone.  Okay?
[00:22] arynwyn: Zadie: <eyes the loung with hatred for a moment, then turns to gaze at Keth. she looks like she might pass out as she shuffles over to the lounge. she lays down and squeezes her eyes shut, a tear running down her face>
[00:24] arynwyn: *lounge
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <squeezes her hand and pets her hair, bending to kiss her forehead>
 Enora: <goes over to the sidebar and starts mixing potions> Drink the potion, take a nap, go to the bathroom when you wake up.  ((cat on head)) If...if you want, there's a different type I can mix up that will dull your memory of this...?
[00:30] arynwyn: Zadie: <looks up at Keth> I... <sighs and squeezes her eyes shut> I don't want to remember, but I can't leave you with all those memories on your own, Keth. <she pulls his hand over and kisses it, hoping he'll argue, hoping he'll tell her to get the potion that will dull her memory...>
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: It's okay.  <he bends down to kiss her gently> You should do it if it'll help you.  <smiles softly> I want you to be as happy as you can be...as close to happy as you can be.
[00:32] arynwyn: Zadie: <returns the kiss and nods, whispering "Thank you", then saying to Enora> Yes, please... mix... the one that will dull my memory. 
 
 (( How much will it dull her memory? ))
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm thinking that if the subject comes up, either in thought or conversation, her brain will just sort of skip over it.  Like if Keth mentioned something about the baby or her being pregnant or something, she'd just sort of stare for a sec, blink and then be like "What'd you say?"  If someone pressed her on it hard enough, wouldn't stop talking about, she'd have the urge to run away from the conversation.  If she couldn't run away, she would eventually remember - it doesn't erase it, just makes her mind avoid it, basically.
 
 That too complicated?))
[00:35] arynwyn: (( okies. Sounds good ))
[00:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <nods and adds another potion to the mix, then stirs it up> Wait right here. It's gotta mix and settle, and I'll get you a little somethin' to wash it down with.  Not the best tastin' thing in the world, sad to say. <she bows and ducks out>
 Keth: <squeezes her hand and kisses her forehead again> I love you.  We'll...next time will be better.
[00:41] arynwyn: Zadie: <starts to cry again> Next time?... <shakes her head> What if the next time is the same? Or... or I don't ever conceive again? <begins to tremble>
[00:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: Then we'll adopt every kid we get our hands on, if that's what you want.  Cats, dogs...fish.  I don't care, so long as I have you with me.  I...<lip trembling>...I just know I can't lose you, Zadie.
[00:45] arynwyn: Zadie: <closes her eyes and nods, taking a deep, shaky breath> I don't want to die... but I feel so... worthless. <sniffs loudly and wipes at the tears>
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: Zadeen...you are worth everything to me.  I'd be nothing without you. <softly wipes some of the tears off her cheeks>
 Enora: <comes back in with a tray of chocolate dipped strawberries, orange and banana slices.  She sets it on a small table near the lounge then goes over to the sidebar and picks up the potion> Okay, child.  It's ready when you are.  <she sets the flask on the tray next to the fruit> I recommend drinking as much of it at a time as you can, then eat some fruit.  If there's any left, drink it down quickly, eat some more fruit, and then just let yourself fall asleep.  The potion will do that for you, and you'll be out for a couple of hours.  I'll be outside if either of you need anything.  <she goes to the door and hesitates, then turns around> I made this decision myself once.  It wasn't easy for me...and I didn't want the baby.  I can't imagine how hard it must be for you, dearie.
[00:53] arynwyn: Zadie: <avoids looking at the potion until Enora is gone, then it's all she can look at. she stares at it, terrified, then she whispers> I can't do this... <shakes her head> No, I can't... <begins to cry again>
[00:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((blargh - Keth & Enora's colors are too similar))
 Keth: <climbs onto the lounge with her and holds her close, stroking her hair> That potion means you live, Zadie.  I...if I could do this for you, I would.  If I could...if I could give my life to save yours AND the baby's, I would.  But...I don't know a way to do that...
[00:56] arynwyn: Zadie: <clings to him, crying, for another five minutes. she suddenly pulls away, grabs the potion and downs it quickly, then collapses back against him. she gags a couple of times until she shoves a strawberry in her mouth, crying the whole time>
[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <closes his eyes and just pets her hair, tears running down his face> Zadie....I love you.  You're not worthless.  <repeats "I love you">
[00:59] arynwyn: Zadie: ...I love you too, Keth... <she offers him a strawberry, calming a little, eating another herself> 
 
 (( How soon will it make her tired? ))
[01:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((pretty soon, I'd think.))
 
 Keth: <takes the strawberry and eats it slowly> We can go on after this...just rest.
[01:01] arynwyn: Zadie: <her eyes drooping> ...go on?... <yawns>
[01:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <nods> With our lives.  Our...marriage.  <petting her hair still> We'll try to have other children.  I'll be right there with you, I swear.
[01:03] arynwyn: Zadie: <leaning against him, she takes another strawberry but it never makes it to her mouth. she drifts off with it in her hand>
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <he holds her, eventually plucking the strawberry from her hand and returning it to the platter before the chocolate melts onto her fingers>
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh I forgot to ask: what movie are you seeing? :D))
[01:05] arynwyn: (( Saw 4 :-D ))
[01:06] arynwyn: Zadie: <sleeps for a while, then wakes with a groan. her head aches and her neck is cramped from sleeping wrong, and she has to go to the bathroom *really* bad. she sits up and looks around sleepily> ...bathroom...
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((scary movie! <hides>))
 
 Keth: <sits up when she does> I'll find out where it is...<he bumps into Enora as she pokes her head back into the room>
 Enora: Clockwork, it is.  Come with me, child; I'll show you where the bathroom is.
 Keth: <steps out of the way to the door>
[01:08] arynwyn: Zadie: <hurries over to the door, one hand on her head, the other on her stomach> Ugh... 
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((NYTimes review of Saw IV ends with: “Saw IV” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Imagine every conceivable form of torture, then add the inconceivable.))
[01:08] arynwyn: (( <LOL> sweeeet ))
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: I know, child.  We'll get you taken care of.  <bustling her off to the nearest bathroom>
 Keth: <takes a chocolate covered orange slice, sits in one of the chairs, and munches it just to have something to do>
[01:10] arynwyn: Zadie: <steps out of the bathroom looking pale> ...there was a lot of blood... <glances back> Am I sick?
[01:10] arynwyn: (( That was said to Enora. ))
[01:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: <smiles faintly> You're gettin' better.  The medicine I gave you should have done the trick.  Just rest up for the next couple of days.  Nothin' strenuous.  Especially no playin' with the boy, hm?  You two can make it a day or so without.
[01:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I was checking on my plastic fish :3 ))
[01:12] arynwyn: Zadie: <gives a small smile and nods, then looks around> How do we get out of here?
[01:12] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Enora: Simple enough.  Let's go collect your boy and we'll send you both home again. <smiles and heads back to the room>
[01:14] arynwyn: Zadie: <follows her back to the room, stepping in and giving Keth a faint smile> Hey you. The priest says I'm getting better. Though, uhm... what's wrong with me? <notes the chocolate-covered fruit and picks up a banana slice, popping it into her mouth>
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <standing> Uh...<looks confused a moment, then remembers, and is plainly at a loss as what to say>
 Enora: Stomach upset. <she's clearly had practice at this> Trouble sleepin', general moodiness, odd appetite.  <looks to Keth> I told her nothin' strenuous, especially sex, for two days.  Lots of rest, and fluids.  No fancy foods either: soup, bread, if she's really feelin' up to it, maybe some cheese.  Water or juice, no alcohol, very little milk.  She can have a little chocolate - very little.  In fact...<goes to pick up tray> I wouldn't give her any more than that <indicating the banana slice Zadie ate> today.  Just to be on the safe side.
 Keth: <nods> Um....thank you.
[01:21] Chaos Angel Sox: (( "“Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). The world is an evil place, kids."  - I love NYTimes movie reviews.))
[01:21] arynwyn: Zadie: <steps over to Keth after she hears all this, kissing his cheek gently> Sorry I've been sick. I hope you haven't been too worried. <she picks up her cloak> Should we go home? <smile>
[01:21] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[01:21] arynwyn: (( need to wrap this up. :-)  ))
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: <smiles faintly> I...I'm just glad you're feeling better, love.  Home....sounds good.
 Enora: I'll show you out.  This way...
[01:23] arynwyn: Zadie: <takes Keth's hand as they walk out, blinking against the bright sunshine. she looks up at Keth and smiles> I love you. 
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Keth: I love you too. <think: This is...kind of creepy.  But she's happy.  She's smiling.  That's the important thing.>
[01:24] arynwyn: (( oh, and what's your schedule tomorrow? ))
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Work 5-12:30 my time.))
[01:25] arynwyn: (( mkay. I may or may  not be back on tonight, depending on what Timmeh wants ( heh, we just watched South Park too...) so... <huggles> What time will you be goingn to bed? ))
[01:25] arynwyn: *going
[01:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not for awhile; we went shopping then I went back to bed and didn't wake up until about 6 hours ago.))
[01:26] arynwyn: (( ah, okies. I will most likely be back on, but if I'm not, sleep well, have a good day tomorrow and I'll see you tomorrow night )
[01:26] arynwyn: ))
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You bet!  Enjoy the movie! :D <huggles>))

[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Happy fun movie time?
[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Sorry, I was busy with my lesbian Sims >.>  
[05:26] arynwyn: <laugh> S'ok. I've been hanging out with Tim.
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooo! Did you have fun @ the movie?
[05:26] arynwyn: Mhm. Was confusing though. >.,
[05:26] arynwyn: *>.<
[05:26] arynwyn: But lots of gore. Yay!
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> Should I be worried for our charas? >.>
[05:27] arynwyn: <laugh> Nah.
[05:27] arynwyn: You up for the RPness?
[05:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Of course! :D 
 I was separating the AIM log into the various characters so I can find certain parts faster.  It's too big now ^_^;
[05:28] arynwyn: <laugh>  nice.
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: so who do you want to RP? :)
[05:29] arynwyn: Whoever. ^^
[05:30] arynwyn: D'you like 3 Doors Down?
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: I've got one song of theirs....and I don't remember what it sounds like...I should fix that....
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: good thing I already have iTunes up...
[05:31] arynwyn: (Link: http://www.1800goguard.com/movie/index2.php)http://www.1800goguard.com/movie/index2.php
[05:31] arynwyn: on the left, click the play button.
[05:32] Chaos Angel Sox: they wrote a song FOR the National Guard?
[05:32] arynwyn: Eh, not sure it was FOR them. It's just a patriotic song, as far as I know. 
[05:33] arynwyn: They played this during the previews. I was all <3 <3 <3
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: I dunno, sounds like it's pretty specifically National Guard so far...It's still a nifty song; I'll send it on to Dadoo
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: And he, in turn, will probably pass it on to his buddy Jim White, who was a lieutenant commander (I think?) in the Indiana National Guard.
[05:33] arynwyn: Cool :-D
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: <laugh> One time Dadoo and Jim were playing golf not far from Camp Atterbury.  (Jim, btw, was in Artillery.)  They were doing some sort of exercise or demonstration involving cannons and when they went off, Dadoo looked up.  "What is that? It sounds like thunder."  And Jim looked at him and said, "That, sir, is the sound of freedom." 
[05:35] arynwyn: <3 <3 ,3
[05:35] arynwyn: *<3
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: <snicker>
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Anywhoodles....people to RP...
[05:35] arynwyn: Mhm...
[05:35] arynwyn: We could do Mai's kid?
[05:36] arynwyn: Heh, you know...
[05:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mmmm yes?
[05:38] arynwyn: What would Furon do if someone came along who offered the family better uhm... whatever they get from marriage (rank/money/etc)... in return for Ath's hand? An old lecher, to be exact. So then, Lyr doesn't have to marry and have his life ruined, except, does he want to give Ath to that awful man? <giggle>
[05:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmm....well, the announcement's already been made.  And Furon actually does want his nieces (all his family, really) happy if at all possible.  But then again, if they're doing their play-acting, arguing all the time, he might decide "Okay you two obviously can't get along, so forget it" and begin negotiations with the old lecher guy.
[05:42] arynwyn: <giggle> What do you think?
[05:42] arynwyn: I'll leave it up to you/.
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: As far as Lyr's perspective: he has to get married at some point, to someone.  That's not going to change.  And if he has to be married, at this point, he'd rather be married to Athame than to anyone else.  If they're far enough into the play-acting that Furon's convinced they can't get along, then he's probably gotten to know her pretty well.
 <think think> Between negotiations and what's considered "proper" in Society, there'd probably be a two week window between the end of Ath's engagement to Lyr and the announcement of her engagement to Old Lecher guy.
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: see, now I'm thinking about it... :P
[05:46] arynwyn: <giggle> So, you like the idea?
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: I do.  Lyr doesn't. ^_^;;
[05:46] arynwyn: Sweet. :-D
[05:47] arynwyn: So, you wanna RP Ath & Lyr?
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure :)
[05:47] arynwyn: Mkay. Where should we start?
[05:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmm.  Have Furon tell Ath her engagement to Lyr is off?
[05:47] arynwyn: Okies.
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Furon also isn't as bad as he tends to come off. >.>  Although....he DID kill his best friend and steal his wife....so then again, maybe he is as bad as he tends to come off...))
[05:48] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[05:48] arynwyn: (( Wow. Just wow. ))
[05:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <knocks on Aileth's (she's Aileth to him) door and clears his throat>
 Mya: <peers out of her room at her uncle>
 Furon: <shoots her a Look>
 Mya: <shuts the door again and thinks: This isn't good.>
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((What? <innocent halo angel wings>))
[05:50] arynwyn: Ath: <puts down her book on Shadow magic and opens the door. she straightens up when she sees Furon, smoothing out her robe> Uncle. How nice to see you. <small smile> 
[05:50] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((his best friend being Ryne's dad...))
 Furon: May I come in?  We have some things to discuss.
[05:52] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls open her door the rest of the way to allow him in> Is something wrong? <she closes it softly behind him, frowning>
[05:52] arynwyn: (( double O_o ))
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: Something's obviously wrong with your current engagement to the future Lord Sul'nova.  You two do nothing but argue, almost constantly.  You do not listen to each other, and you snipe and insult one another in a manner most commoners would find shocking.  So I am relieving you of the burden of your engagement to him.  You two are clearly not meant to be a lifelong couple, and I would not have you married to a man to whom you cannot even be civil.
[05:57] arynwyn: Ath: ... <blinks, then swallows, wondering what to do> Uncle, we may seem like we dislike each other, but really... it's all superficial. <fidget> We don't dislike each other, I assure you...
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: It's good of you to attempt to convince me I had not made a mistake in choosing him for you, but I know better.  I've already sent a messenger to the Sul'nova household.  They should have received my letter by now.  In the meantime, I do have an offer for you from another gentleman.  He is...much older than you are, but not entirely unattractive, and he is capable of keeping you in much higher style.  You'll almost immediately be one of the major social hostesses of Silvermoon if you wed him.  It isn't finalized of course, but I thought I would let you know that you won't have to endure being an unengaged woman for very long...two weeks, at most.  And our breaking it off shows that you weren't "dumped" or "jilted" in any sense.  This is the best possible solution to the problem.
[06:04] arynwyn: Ath: ...another man?... <clears her throat to keep her voice normal> I see. <she tries to remain calm while she looks for a way out of this> Two weeks? Well, that isn't long at all. <Do Not Panic; she gives her uncle a small bow> I will do what you think is best, of course.
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <nods> Good girl. <he smiles warmly at her> You've always put your family first.  <he pats her shoulder>  And you'll get an extra engagement party.   Make sure you sleep well beforehand so you don't have to leave this one early.  I suppose I should've taken that as a sign, I suppose.  <he turns to go>
[06:10] arynwyn: Ath: <waits for him to leave, then she begins to dig frantically through her drawers for tight black pants and a tight black shirt. she changes quickly, then grabs her boots and cloak, stepping out of her room and tapping on Mya's door. she tries not to look too panicked>
[06:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <opens the door quickly and lets Ath in, peering out to be sure their uncle isn't still around> Okay I only heard part of it through the walls.  What's going on? <shutting the door behind her; and she's already in her gear>
[06:13] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a deep breath> Furon's called the engagement off. He said we argue too much. But what's worse, there's someone else I'm going to marry. Some old man. <she pulls on her boots> 
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh gods...So where we going?  Sul'nova house?
[06:15] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Furon sent a letter over. I need to talk to Lyranon. I mean, this is good for him; now he won't have to take over his father's business... <she pulls on her cloak> But, for my sake, I have to make sure. Unless you think I'm being pathetic? <she stops and looks at Mya>
[06:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles>  Not at all.  It's natural to want to make sure the man you love still cares. <she just says that all casual like>  C'mon.  There isn't a direct route, but I know a path that'll get us most of the way there.
[06:19] arynwyn: Ath: <flushes a little, then nods> Lead the way. I'm sorry I can't stealth like you. I'll do my best to keep to the shadows though.
[06:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <chuckles> No need for that. <heading downstairs>
[06:20] arynwyn: Ath: <follows, silent> 
[06:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <takes her down through the basement's secret door again.  She notes the paths again - where to turn and how to tell, and after just a few moments, they go up some stairs to a trapdoor.  Mya looks at Ath, puts her finger to her lips, then pushes it open and looks around.  Satisfied, she shoves it the rest of the way open, and climbs out onto the street.  They're practically across the street from the Sul'nova house>
[06:25] arynwyn: Ath: <follows, memorizing the path, then looks over at the house. she sighs> I don't know which window is his, and I'm not sure I should just knock on the door... <she looks at Mya for help> What should I do?
[06:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Stay in the shadows, and I'll be back in a minute to tell you which window's his. <smiles>  Or I could just kidnap him and drag him out here again.  I'm fresh out of chairs to tie him to, though.
[06:26] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head, not smiling> I'll go to him.
[06:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Okay, be right back. <she disappears...and as promised, a few minutes later, she reappears and points out a second story window> That's his.  Got you some pebbles.  <she turns them over to Ath>  By the way, he doesn't look happy.
[06:30] arynwyn: Ath: <takes the pebbles and slips across the street. she tosses a few up (missing once or twice) and waits, hoping he'll answer>
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <looks out his window curiously and blinks when he sees her.  He holds up a finger, nods, and disappears from the window....and a few minutes later, he's slipping out the back door and coming around to meet her in his pajamas, slippers and robe> Athame?  Is that you?
 Mya: <is stealthed nearby, looking for intruders>
[06:32] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, dropping the rest of the pebbles on the ground> I hope I didn't wake you. <she's not really looking at him, shifting uncomfortably, praying she doesn't cry>
[06:33] arynwyn: (( <IDEA!> ))
[06:33] arynwyn: (( Keep going. ))
[06:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Not at all.  We just went to bed....and I don't think I would've been able to sleep.  <hesitates a moment and then pulls her in for a hug>  Got some bad news tonight...maybe you've heard?
[06:36] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and hugs him back tightly> But... it's good news for you, isn't it? I mean, now you don't have to quit your priest training to work for your father...
 
 Dres: <slips out of stealth just behind Mya, grabbing her arm and pulling her up. he says quietly> What are you doing? And where is your Protector? <looking around>
[06:36] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...yeah I don't have to now, but I will again at some point.  <sighs> I was just starting to...well....point is, no, I don't consider it good news.
 
 Mya: As far as I'm concerned, you're still my Protector, so you're right where you're supposed to be.  And my sister had to talk to her...apparently ex-fiance.
[06:41] arynwyn: Ath: ...I'm going to be marrying some old man. <her eyes tear up> I don't know what to do... I have two weeks until the other engagement is announced. <she clings to him>
 
 Dres: At night I'm not. How can I be when I'm next door to Ath's ex- wait, what? Ex-fiance? What happened? <he's looking over at Ath and Lyr> They look pretty cosy... <he wraps an arm around Mya>
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <rubs her back consolingly> Why?  The letter just said that it was called off due to compatability issues?  What the hell?
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops...Mya's response coming))
[06:43] arynwyn: (( no worries ))
[06:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> Uncle Furon called it off and is going to marry Ath off to some...rich old guy.  I'm so glad that didn't happen to me. <brief snuggle>  And shouldn't you be paying attention to your charge?
[06:46] arynwyn: Ath: Apparently this man is very rich and powerful... and he wants me. <a tear slides down her cheek and she wipes it away> I didn't want to cry... <she takes a deep breath> I don't know what to do.
 
 Dres: <kisses her temple> I should, yes. But you're more important. I don't like you sneaking away from your Protector. <he glances back toward the house he's posted at> You're not making a habit of this, right? 
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Well...at least he has good taste in women? <faint smile then frowns> We'll think of something.  Somehow...I...don't ask me now what...but... <kisses the top of her head>
 
 Mya: <arches an eyebrow> Perhaps you should be taking that up with my Protector.  <she grins at him slyly> Not my fault if he can't keep up.  I don't slow down for any man. <wink>
[06:52] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> It's futile, Lyranon. Once my uncle makes up his mind... Just like I wouldn't have been able to change his mind about you, when I first found out. <she sighs> At least you'll have some time to continue your training. <she pulls away>
 
 Dres: <laughs> I'll pass that along. <he kisses her, then pulls away> I'm going back to my post, but I'll be keeping an eye on you. 
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pulls her back to him> We've got two weeks to think of something.  I've gotten used to the idea of marrying you.  After all, if I get engaged to someone else, I'll just have to train her all over again...<smiles a "laugh at the jokes, please?" smile>
 
 Mya: <pouts as seductively as she can in his direction> Dreessdeenn...<pout pout>
[07:00] arynwyn: Ath: <faint smile, then, in a suave voice> Ah, but you're the trained one, sweetheart. <she rests her head against his shoulder> Alright. I won't despair yet. I pray to the gods that we figure something out... 
 
 Dres: <steps back over to her, leaning down to kiss her deeply> What is it, Lovely? <running his hands down her sides>
[07:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles at her and kisses her temple> I guess we're going to have to stop going to lunch and such then?  Since we're not engaged anymore....<sigh>
 
 Mya: <smiles> That's a better goodbye....if you really have to go.  It's all well and good to say you're going to keep an eye on me, but I kind of like keeping an eye on you too.  After all, you're the dangerous one. <grin>
[07:08] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns> Maybe we could sneak off?... I don't want to stop... <she closes her eyes and sighs, realizing how whiny she sounds. she reopens them and looks up at him> Kiss me? <then she looks away, blushing> Er... nevermind. 
 
 Dres: <chuckles and gives her a growl, attacking her neck with kisses> You remember that trick we pulled outside in the alley at our engagement party? Before you fell asleep? <pulling her back into the shadows> 
[07:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles, and turns her face back to his gently so he can lean down and kiss her> ...I guess maybe I am the trained one.
 
 Mya: <grins> Well, I still won't be able to see you this way, but...so long as I know you're there...
[07:15] arynwyn: Ath: <kissing him back with great longing, letting him pull away reluctantly. she looks up into his eyes> I think we both are. <she sighs and looks away again> I should let you go to bed. <but she doesn't sound like she wants him to go>
 
 Dres: <slipping into stealth, pressing her up against the wall> More exciting this way, don't you think? <grins, though she can't see it, his hands working at her pants>
[07:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Yeah well, you "should" also marry the man your uncle tells you to, just like I "should" take over my father's business.  <grins at her> You getting as sick of "should" as I am?
 
 Mya: Mmm, definitely...<as she returns the favor and starts getting into his pants; she slips into stealth as well and grins> We just need to make sure we don't wake your charge...
[07:21] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Maybe what we should do is run away together. <soft smile and another kiss>
 
 Dres: <chuckles softly as he pushes her pants down, his hand exploring between her legs> That would be hard to explain... 
[07:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...yeah, but then we just get tracked down and dragged back and we're the latest scandal in Society gossip.
 
 Mya: <bites her lip to keep quiet and pulls him in closer to her, so she can whisper between gasps> I'd...love to...see you....try...
[07:28] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> I know. <she falls silent while she thinks> I'm almost starting to wish I hadn't returned to my family. <clinging to him again> But then, I suppose, I wouldn't have met you. 
 
 Dres: <lifts her up on the wall, sliding into her, grunting quietly. he sets a quick pace (as usual)>
[07:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr:  Well...we might still have met at the Temple.  I can't believe you'd never have gone there to hone your not-inconsiderable skill....sweetheart <grin>
 
 Mya: <wraps her legs around him and does her best to stay quiet, match his rhythm, keep her stealth active and not fall down>  ((Which is why women are cool 'cause we can totally do that!  ....Really. ^_^ ))
[07:37] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes lightly and smiles> Possibly. <she chews on her bottom lip, toying with an idea for a minute, but then she realizes she's a coward and gives up on it>
 
 Dres: <kisses her hard as he moves inside of her, his hands on her legs to keep her up. his breathing is ragged but he keeps his grunts to a minimal>
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You know....if we get caught out here, we'll be in trouble.  You especially.  Out here alone in the middle of the night?  <brushes some hair out of her face and makes sure he's got an arm wrapped around her waist>
 
 Mya: <clings to him tightly, tensing up and clawing her fingers into the back of his shirt - she actually doesn't break stealth this time, but only barely>
[07:46] arynwyn: Ath: <not moving> My sister is here somewhere. Stealthed. And I don't really care if I get in trouble. Maybe if I get caught, my uncle will realize that the fighting was silly and that I really do love you. <Oh Shit. she goes very red>
 
 Dres: <releases himself as she finishes, gasping for air. he leans against her for a moment, then lowers her to the ground, his fingers trailing along her inner thigh as he does>
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <does a pretty good job of not visibly reacting to that, though he does pause> ...you don't care if you get in trouble?  You rebel, you. <smiles and thinks: So what will you do if I don't say anything to that?>
 
 Mya: <breathes shudderingly and loops her arms around his neck for stability, considering how weak her knees are at the moment> ...you know...I'm going to...get used to...this...if we keep...doing it...
[07:52] arynwyn: Ath: <still hardly breathing, still very red, she shakes her head> ...I need to go... <she tries to pull away, not looking at him, wishing she were dead>
 
 Dres: <chuckles and leans in to kiss her deeply> I'll try and keep things spicy, don't worry. <he pulls his pants back up and fastens his belt, not letting her go>
[08:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <think: Ah, you run away.  Great.  He refuses to let go> Just so you know...I'd always said that there wasn't a woman born who'd be worth trading my life for.  You know, marrying her and giving up everything I wanted to do?  That's how I thought of it: trading my life for a woman.  But...you know, over the last few weeks, I've begun to think I was wrong to think that. <he smiles at her> I'd trade my life for you.  Only you.
 
 Mya: <she smiles> I don't need spicy, I just need you.  You're spicy enough on your own. <getting her own pants refastened and smoothing her clothes out before kissing him again>
[08:05] arynwyn: Ath: <that only makes her blush harder, and she says again, in a strangled whisper> ...I need to go... <still not looking at him> I can't... <shakes her head> can't believe I said that... I'm sorry. <tries to pull away again>
 
 Dres: <kisses her deeply, giving another growl, then pulling away> Okay, how was that goodbye? 'Cause I really need to get back to my post. I'm sorry, Lovely, but if something happens to her, it'll be my head this time. Then there won't be any more stealthed sex. <another kiss>
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sighs> Don't be upset. <still not letting her go; in fact he pulls her in closer> And don't go yet? <looks her in the eyes and leans in closer> Please?
 
 Mya: Or anything else. <she chuckles quietly> And that was a quite adequate goodbye, thank you.  <kiss>  I expect an equally nice hello when I see you next. <grin wink> Go back to work.
[08:10] arynwyn: Ath: <obliges and remains with him, but she stays silent and she doesn't look at him>
 
 Dres: <chuckles> I think I can handle that. <kiss> See you at dawn, Lovely. <he slips back into stealth and heads back to his post>
[08:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Why are you upset over saying "I love you" to me?
 
 Mya: <sighs happily, and looks back over at her sister and Lyr.  She stealths and slips over within earshot, seeing as how Ath doesn't look happy>
[08:16] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and shakes her head> Because, that wasn't how I wanted to first say that to someone. And because you... <shakes her head again, staring at the ground>
[08:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...think you're the best woman in all creation? ...dream of you every night?  ...hate the idea of some other man touching you, let alone marrying you?  Are you getting the hint yet, Athame?
[08:22] arynwyn: Ath: <looks up at him> You dream of me every night? <still blushing heavily. she looks away after a moment> You say all these things, yet leave me hanging when I say... when I say I love you? 
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You seemed upset when you realized you'd said it.  I wasn't sure if I should pretend you hadn't said it or not.  But ignoring it seems to have been the wrong choice, and I'm sorry if that hurt you.  <turns her face back to his again and brushes her hair back a little> The last thing I'd want to do is hurt you, I swear.
[08:28] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I just felt stupid, saying it that way, I suppose. And... I didn't... don't... know if you... love me back, so I just felt stupid... and then you ignored it, so I thought that you didn't and... <sighs again and looks up at him> I'm not very good with these things. With expressing how I feel. <shakes her head> I'm sorry. I sound like a fool, I know. <looks away again>
[08:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Athame? <his gaze has a quiet soft intense>
[08:29] arynwyn: Ath: <looks up again>
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <leans in, his breath upon her, his lips brushing against hers, pressing into her lips slowly, holding her gently as he increases the intensity gradually.  This'll take awhile...which is sort of the point>
 
 Mya: <arches an eyebrow, thinking: I hope you're watching this and taking notes, Dresden.  And next time Athie bitches about how lucky I am, I am so mentioning this...>
[08:35] arynwyn: Ath: <seems a little surprised, but she returns the kiss, softly at first, increasing the passion slowly, a hunger rising within her that is foreign and new. her arms wrap around his neck and her fingers twist into his hair and she presses against him, desperation rising>
[08:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pulls away with the same slow intensity> You think I'd be willing to die for you if I didn't love you, silly? <he says softly>
[08:42] arynwyn: Ath: <is flushed as much from what he says as from what he did. she gazes up at him for a long moment> I suppose not. <she remains pressed up against him, her mind racing with not-so-ladylike thoughts> 
[08:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles and kisses the tip of her nose> So, I'll tell you what: we'll save the running away as our last resort, but if it comes down to it, I will gladly spirit you away from anyone else who tries to take you from me.  Deal?
[08:47] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and nods> Thank you. I really don't want to marry this other man... <she shivers a little> I want to be with you. ...forever. <That's not all I want, but... I shouldn't be thinking these things... Focus, Athame, focus.>
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Glad to hear it, 'cause I'd hate to get myself all in love with you and find out old rich guys are secretly your thing...<grins and tickles her side a little>
[08:50] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles softly and squirms a little> No chance. I'd be dreading my honeymoon night. <makes a "yuck" face>
[08:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I hope that means that you're not dreading it now...<soft smile, increased tickling>
[08:53] arynwyn: Ath: <continues to giggle softly, blushing again> I'm looking forward to it, honestly... As long as it's with you. 
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <ticklefest!>
 
 Mya: Must...not...throw up...from...too much...sugar....
[08:55] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs and squirms away from him> Hey! <she turns around, five feet away, her hands up for defense> 
 
 (( Jen! Stop giving Mya Halloween candy! Yeesh. Poor girl. ))
[09:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: No, please give me candy.  It won't be as sugar sweet as these two...))
 
 Lyr: <grins at her and looks like he's going to pursue>
 Mya: <shows up behind Ath> We're only a couple hours from sunup.  And you two are so sweet, I may get cavities.
[09:04] arynwyn: Ath: <jumps at her voice> Mya! <she turns bright red> I... forgot you were waiting. <she smooths out her clothes and tries to regain composure, clearing her throat> Yes, well, we had a nice chat... <glances at Lyr, still red> 
[09:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Mmhm, yes well "chat" isn't what I'd call a lot of what I saw there. 
 Lyr: <blushes slightly and clears his own throat> We'll have to think of a way to see one another outside of training.
 Mya: Midnight rendezvous probably not always the best idea....although...<pause think> I'm not opposed to chaperoning if you do want to....
[09:11] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes more> ...I don't need a chaperone, Mya. <she steps back over to Lyr> But I should go. When will I see you again? Outside Temple? Maybe we could make up some story about extra training, buying us some time to sneak off together for a while?
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Oh trust me, you NEED a chaperone <she mutters>
 Lyr: Maybe.  We can talk about it during Ms. Terrian's constant cigarette breaks. <smiles>
[09:14] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and leans up to give him a quick kiss, whispering> Dream of me. <she smiles>
[09:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Count on it. <grins and kisses her again>
 Mya: ...I will drag you home, sister mine.
 Lyr: <pulls away from her lips and sighs>
[09:18] arynwyn: Ath: <gives him a tight hug, then turns to her sister> Then commence your dragging. <sighs and, with a look and a smile over her shoulder for Lyr, she heads back across the street>
[09:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blows her a kiss>
 Mya: <as soon as they're out of earshot, heading back for the tunnel system> You two seemed....<steals Dresden's word> cozy.
[09:24] arynwyn: Ath: <blushing again> I forgot you were watching. <she slips through the secret door and, before closing it behind Mya, looks back for Lyr>
[09:24] arynwyn: (( <shares Kit Kats> ))
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woot! <shares Tootsie Rolls>))
 
 Mya: Well, if it makes you feel better, I wasn't watching you two the whole time.
 Lyr: <is standing there, watching them.  He waves a little when he sees her stop and look back>
[09:26] arynwyn: Ath: <waves back, then reluctantly shuts the door> Oh? Why's that?
[09:26] arynwyn: <to Mya>
[09:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I figured you two would want some privacy. <she smiles a contented smile>  Was I wrong?
[09:29] arynwyn: Ath: <blushing again> No. You were right. <heading down the tunnel> Thank you for bringing me. I'm really glad I came. Really glad. <smiling contentedly herself>
[09:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <refrains from saying I'm glad I came too> Glad to hear it.  We'll figure something out...though honestly? You two need to stop having complicated marriage issues already.
[09:33] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and nods> I know. It's ridiculous, isn't it? We starting the arguing thing because we needed to buy time, but instead Furon betrothed me to someone else. <bows her head as she walks> It's depressing. But Lyranon said he'd never stand for me to marry anyone else. <faint smile>
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: And now you know the way to get to his house whenever you want.  I'm going to trust you not to abuse this, by the way.  Uncle Furon finds out you're sneaking off to a man's house in the middle of the night, he will...<decides not to give specifics> make the both of you pay.  Him more so than you, believe me.
[09:38] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I know. I'm sure I'll come occasionally, but I won't abuse it. <she wraps her cloak around her tightly, her arms hugging her body> I don't know what to do, Mya. I thought I'd always do what was best for the family, like you do, but... I can't marry this other man. <she sighs> I'm not you. And I'm not a martyr, like Lyranon called me one time. 
[09:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'll investigate what's going on on Uncle's end and keep you informed.  We'll figure it out, Athie.  Worse comes to worst...I can always kill this other suitor of yours.  Maybe wait to do it until your wedding night so you can get all his money and such...hmm, actually this has potential...
[09:41] arynwyn: Ath: No! <fights a laugh> Mya, you can't do that. ...can you? I mean, no. There has to be another way. (( Just wait until you meet him Ath. <giggle> Are you doing him, by the way? ))
[09:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I think it's a better last resort than running away.  Once you're married and widowed, you can choose your own hubbies.  <grins>  But we'll see if we can't get you out of it.  That way you don't have to kiss him in the ceremony.
[09:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I can RP the old guy, but I'm not doing him ^_~ ))
[09:44] arynwyn: Ath: <makes a face> Uck. No thanks. And I haven't even seen the guy. <she pulls her sister over for a hug> Thanks little sis. <grins> So... how're you and Dresden doing?
[09:44] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Fair enough. =P ))
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Juuuust fine, thank you. <smiles as they re-enter the basement> Off to bed...with both of us.  I'm fairly worn out.
[09:46] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Yeah, I am too. And thanks again for taking me over there. At least now I may be able to get a little sleep. <smile>
[09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> You're welcome. <she yawns>  ((As I do too)) I'd wish you sweet dreams, but I'm sure that won't be a worry now, will it? <grins>
[09:48] arynwyn: (( Going to bed? ))
[09:48] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes a little>  You too. <as she heads upstairs to her room>
[09:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah it's almost 10 AM and I have to work tonight...possibly with Sabrina the Incompetent. >_< Though hopefully also with my boss who is made of awesome.))
 
 Mya: No worries there. <grins and waves as she enters her own room>
[09:49] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[09:49] arynwyn: (( <huggles> happy sleepings, then. ))
[09:50] arynwyn: (( and have a good day. evening. whatever. ))
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugses> You too.  Hot nekkid belf men!  Better yet: Hot nekkid Jaes!! :3 ))
[09:50] arynwyn: (( <drool> and Dres for you! ))
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yum! :3 thankee. ^_^ ))
[09:51] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Sleep well. See you tomorrow. Later today. You know what I mean. ))
[09:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> Yeppers skeppers! <more huggles and chocolate covered...um....Jaes> ^_~ ))
[09:51] arynwyn: (( O_o YUM. <huggles and drags Jaes off> ))
[09:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
[09:52] arynwyn: (( night! ))
[09:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((nighters ^_^ ))

[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: braaaaaaaaaaaaainss...I mean, er....foooooooooood....
[00:30] arynwyn: Hey!
[00:30] arynwyn: I just posted to LJ.
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY! <goes to look>
[00:30] arynwyn: :-D
[00:30] Chaos Angel Sox: how's you?
[00:30] arynwyn: I have some Dres & Mya drama. A little, I suppose... Read the LJ for him & Keira first though.
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: uh oh
[00:31] arynwyn: Clean! And pretty mellow. Tim's gone, I've been hanging out by myself for a few hours. 
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Uh oh....and Tim's gone?
[00:31] arynwyn: Yeah. He went out with his battle buddy.  No idea what he's doing.
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: drinking.  playing cards.  possibly, depending on amount of alcohol being consumed, being a jackass...
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: :)
[00:32] arynwyn: He left when I was asleep so I don't remember what time he told me g'bye. I woke up at 3:30.
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: awww :(
[00:32] arynwyn: <LOL> No, he wouldn't drink without telling me.
[00:32] arynwyn: They prolly went to Game Stop, Best Buy, something of the like.
[00:33] arynwyn: And out to eat, I'm sure. Which sucks, since we have no food here and I'm starving.
[00:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ;__; that's not cool!
[00:33] arynwyn: $10 they went out for sushi. Laaaame/.
[00:33] Chaos Angel Sox: :P I say you make him buy you pizza
[00:33] arynwyn: Heh, s'ok. Tim may surprise me with food when he gets back.
[00:33] arynwyn: Maybe. ^^
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: "He begins to plan evil." xD 
[00:34] arynwyn: <grin>
[00:34] arynwyn: I put that because I don't know what the evil is yet. >.>
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah I did the same thing with Sasuke.
[00:34] arynwyn: <laugh> Yeah.
[00:34] Chaos Angel Sox: cat on head....
[00:34] arynwyn: <giggle> Hey Murphy!
[00:35] Chaos Angel Sox: he knows it's technically Sunday....
[00:35] arynwyn: So TOTALLY in love with washing my short(ish) hair. :-D
[00:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Isn't it nice? :D
[00:35] arynwyn: <laugh> FOOD.
[00:35] arynwyn: Yep!
[00:36] arynwyn: So how're we gunna get Ath outta this?
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Well I had an idea, but it's kind of too easy...
[00:36] arynwyn: What?
[00:39] Chaos Angel Sox: I even tried to make it harder too:
 
 I thought, what if O.L. (Old Lecher) is a stickler for having a maiden bride?  <grin> 'course there's an easy (and fun) solution to that problem....but then I thought, Maybe Furon's spies are keeping an extra close eye on her because of that, so how do we get her anywhere near Lyr again w/o them knowing? And then I thought, we'll enlist Ms. T's help and they can go at it in the practice room when they're supposed to be training.  Only they'd have to be "caught" in some way so that word gets back to Furon (more sex in public places - he would begin to despair about the morals of the women in his family....) so that he KNOWS she's not a virgin anymore so he can tell O.L. who'll be angry and disappointed and call it off.
 
 The other downside to this is the hit to Ath's reputation >.>  Even if she ends up marrying Lyr afterwards, everyone'll think it was a shotgun marriage.
[00:39] arynwyn: Uhm. Wow. That is the same idea I had. >.>
[00:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <LOL>
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Get out of my heeeeeeaaaddd....
[00:40] arynwyn: No, I mean, exactly. Well, minus the Ms. T part. I hadn't gotten that far...
[00:40] arynwyn: <giggle> Hm.
[00:41] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O u r in my head, readin' my thoughtz?
[00:41] arynwyn: mebbe
[00:41] arynwyn: Well, if we both came up with it, I guess we should do it. <giggle> It's fate!
[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh, I suppose so...
 Lyr: I just want you both to know I support this idea 100%.
 
 Also, last night before I went to bed, I thought of what it would be like to have all our charas play Truth or Lie together, with an optional challenge round: You can challenge someone, say like, "Tell me why you did such-and-the-other" and they have to reply.  Challenger still decides Truth or Lie, but all punishments are doubled. ^_^;
[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: that'd be a fairly OOC thing tho
[00:44] arynwyn: <LOL>
[00:44] arynwyn: That'd be awesome. xD
[00:45] Chaos Angel Sox: I figure the rest of the game would be going around the table, people taking turns saying things and everyone else calls Truth or Lie and takes punishments (or not) accordingly.  Whether or not to be kind to the person saying the statement is the real question: Just one shot when asked or one shot per person who called you on it?
[00:46] arynwyn: Oh shot per person. <giggle>
[00:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Ouch.  You're eeeeeevil.
[00:46] arynwyn: <nodnod> yep!
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> Anyways....RP evilness or play OOC Truth or Lie?  I figure having OOC T or L will give us something to do when we don't have time/inclination for RP (or have no idea what to do with any of the charas... xD )
[00:47] arynwyn: Yeah, I vote RP for now, if you're up for it. ^^
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Totally....once I get cereal. >.>
[00:48] arynwyn: Sure thing!
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ohhhh sitting is so nice....
[00:50] arynwyn: :-D
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: okay - Mya/Dres/Keira evil? Ath/Lyr sexayness?  something else entirely?
[00:51] arynwyn: I vote Dres & Mya. At his cabin.
[00:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Ooo okee :)
[00:53] arynwyn: Dres: <comes into the cabin and begins to strip down. he pulls off his chestpiece and tosses it on the couch> I'm going to go back and find something else to put on. I'm sick of wearing my armor. <heading back to the bedroom>
 <his chestpiece lays on the couch and in an inside pocket, a note sticks out>
[00:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she smiles at him and then notices the note.  She knows she shouldn't look at it....she sneaks over towards it and touches it briefly...then leaves it alone, though regretfully.  She calls back into the bedroom, with a pout in her voice> Do you have to put something else on?  <she eyes the note again and fends off her curiosity...>
 
 ((Yeah we'll see how long that lasts...)0
[00:55] Chaos Angel Sox: )
[00:55] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:56] arynwyn: Dres: <from the room> Didn't say it'd stay on, now did I? Actually, I may take a bath... Are you impatient for dinner or do I have time?
[00:58] arynwyn: (( Heh, so I'm watching Scariest Places on Earth on ABC. I feel like it's all fake, of course, but in this episode they had the people mess with witchcraft, so I'm sitting here... "Bad idea. Very bad idea." Because even though the "ghost activity" is fake, they could really fuck up stuff messing with rituals and such. >.> ))
[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <still looking at the note...> Go ahead and clean up.  Sometimes the wait makes it all the sweeter, don't you think?  <think: I shouldn't look.  I shouldn't.  I should trust him and respect his privacy....but...it's...it's right there...>
[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> 'cause witchcraft is just a silly game, people.  really >.>))
[00:58] arynwyn: Dres: Mmh. Sure do. <he goes into the bathroom and begins to pump some water into the tub>
[00:58] arynwyn: (( >.< ))
[00:59] arynwyn: (( thing is, they have all these "experts" of witchcraft and witches on there telling them to do these things. >.> Makes no sense to me. ))
[01:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <quietly> No, no, I'm not going to...<turns away from the note...then looks back at it> ...of course, a husband and wife aren't supposed to have secrets from each other...and if I'm the only other one who knows, then it's still okay, right?  I'm all sworn to secrecy and such....<picks the note up...then puts it down again.  then looks at it again and sighs> ...Damnitall, it was so much easier to steal peoples' secrets when I wasn't so godsawfully in love with them....
[01:01] arynwyn: Dres: <slips into the water and exhales loudly> Ahhhh.... <he starts scrubbing himself>
 
 (( better hurry! he's not one to play in the tub. <giggle> ))
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ... ... ...oh, I can't stand it.  <feeling sort of guilty...and thus also getting some guilty pleasure out of it...she picks the note up again and opens it to read>
[01:06] arynwyn: <written in small, slanting cursive (obviously a woman's): Dresden, I've been thinking of you a lot recently. Actually, I find it hard to get my mind off of you. Do you remember that weekend we spent at your cabin? I dream of it occasionally. I still wish we had what we used to. I still hate my parents for calling off the engagement. But I suppose it's too late now. You're engaged to that Duskblade woman. So silly of you, marrying your charge. You could do so much better, and you know it. Think of me, Dresden, as I think of you. ]
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh dear, let me think of how Mya will react to that...))
[01:07] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Kk ))
[01:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that's pretty much designed to push every button she has.  good job ^_~ ))
[01:07] arynwyn: (( sweeeeet. :-D ))
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <She freezes right down to her blood, standing stock still with the note in her hand.  She re-reads it over and over again, and slowly the cold chill in her is replaced with mounting, heated anger.  She knows she shouldn't keep reading it.  She knows she should fold it closed again, tuck it back away the way it was, focus on keeping her husband happy in order to keep him with her.  She also knows these are her uncle's words in her head, these "should"s.  She doesn't move, and she can't seem to help re-reading it a fifth, sixth, seventh time...  Each time she thinks she's pinpointed the sentence or phrase or word that makes her angriest, she goes on to the next sentence (or phrase or word) and gets angrier still.  She tries to consider what to do, what to say, but in the end, all she does is stand there and read the note over and over and over again.  The note has become the only thing she sees or notices; she's completely unaware of the tightly balled fist her other hand has become.  She doesn't feel her fingernails digging into her palm.  There is only this woman's words - and Mya could take a pretty good guess who wrote them.  The first rational and full thought she has is This is what she thinks of you.  What do you think of her? though other thoughts and questions swirl in her mind.>
[01:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jesus that's long.  sorry))
[01:16] arynwyn: (( <giggle> S'ok! ))
[01:18] arynwyn: Dre: <is unaware of his wife's anger, washing away in the tub. he finishes and grabs a towel, drying off and padding into his bedroom to pull on a pair of lounge pants. he dries his hair, then heads into the main room, on his way to the kitchen to cook something for them. he spots her standing there, reading> What are you reading, Lovely?
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <Without looking at him, she simply starts re-reading the note again, reading Aloud.  She reads it in a deceptively calm way, though her voice is taut, and there is nothing casual or throwaway about her tone.  She doesn't look at him as she finishes, and it seems to take a great strength of will to lower the note, let it go and watch it float down to the chestpiece on the couch, rather than crumple it up and throw it at him as hard as she can.  When she returns her hand to her side, it balls up to match her other fist, and when next she speaks, she is obviously pulling rage back in> Explain. That. <Her eyes are still on the note.>
[01:25] arynwyn: Dres: Damn it. <he steps over to the note and begins shredding it up, looking angry> I can't explain it, Mya. I found it in my pocket earlier. <he swears again and crunches the pieces up in his fist, then sighs, sitting down on the couch heavily>
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Who. Wrote. It? <she's looking in his general direction but not at him, or at his face; she is, in fact, looking at where the note was before he tore it up>
[01:26] arynwyn: Dres: ...Keira.
[01:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods slowly as if he had passed some sort of test; she finally starts speaking sentences rather than biting out words> What is she to you, Dresden?  And don't tell me she's just your superior.
[01:29] arynwyn: Dres: <runs a hand over his face and back into his hair> What is she to me? She's an ex-girlfriend. An ex-love. <his chest is very tight and he's staring at the pieces of the note that stick out of his fist>
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: She doesn't seem to consider you an ex.  And she seems to consider me an obstacle.  An unworthy one at that.  <her voice takes on a slightly higher tone, as if she were trying to lighten her voice up forcefully.  Actually "as if" nothing - she is.> Should I go show her how worthy I am? <the last couple of words make her tone drop back down, as her voice begins to betray the dark, threatening anger within her>
[01:35] arynwyn: Dres: <tosses the shredded note down on the floor and stands up> No. I don't want you to go anywhere. Keira knows I love you and she's going to have to get over it. What she and I had is long gone. It was years ago. <he steps over to Mya and takes her chin in his hand, pulling her face up to look at him> I love you. Forget about her. I have. <Besides, Mya, Lovely... You stand no chance against Keira. She'd kill you in two blows and not think twice about it.> 
[01:36] Chaos Angel Sox: (( I hate people: “Obama sounds too much like Osama,” said Kayla Nickel of Westlink. “When he says his name, I am like, ‘I am not voting for a Muslim!’ ” >_< ))
[01:36] arynwyn: (( >.< ))
[01:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is hotly, angrily glaring; since he pulled her gaze up to his, she is now glaring at him. She latches onto his arms, digging her fingernails in.> If it was over, she wouldn't be writing this to you now.  She doesn't consider it over...and so I can't consider it over either.  I am not going to let her have you back. It. Will. Not. Happen.  <there's a warning there, as she looks at him, that she's saying those words as much to him as to Keira>
[01:41] arynwyn: Dres: I know it won't. <he's getting angry too> Do you think I wanted this stupid note? <he pulls away and stalks over to the kitchen to pour himself a drink> If I had my way, I'd get as far away from her as I could,  but I can't. She's my boss. <takes the shot, then turns back around to face her, glowering> Until you have a baby, I'm stuck there. 
[01:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <Now that she's started looking at him, he's the new obsessive focus of her anger.> Oh, until I have a baby?  Well, I'll just get right on that then, since it's apparently not only completely under my control but also my sole responsibility!  Silly me, <she says, deliberately pulling the word out of the note> for thinking having sex with you every chance I get was the only way to get pregnant!  Obviously I can just concentrate a baby into my belly! <hands on hips>
[01:47] arynwyn: Dres: <steps back over to her, his voice low and dangerously calm> You're the one who gives birth. You know what I meant. Don't change my words to suit your anger, Myanara.
[01:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: You think I don't have a right to be angry about this? <glowering up at him in response>
[01:51] arynwyn: Dres: <glares at her for a long moment> Be angry all you want. But try and be constructive with your anger. And don't be angry with me. I've done nothing wrong. 
[01:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Have you?  Have you told her, "No" or "Stop this?"  Have you told her, in no uncertain terms, that You Are Not Hers and NEVER will be? <she's actually breathing a little heavy with the effort of not screaming>
[01:55] arynwyn: Dres: I never thought I had to! I thought she was over all of this, until I got that damn note today. <shakes his head> 
[01:55] arynwyn: (( Tim's home and without food for me. =(  ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((then he's ordering you pizza!))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( heh, doubt it. >.< ))
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((that was not a request.))
 Mya: And pray tell, Husband Mine, why did you keep it?  And in your chestpiece too, so close to your heart?  Fond memories?  <she's hit critical mass; she turns on one heel and stalks towards the bedroom, clenching her jaw and looking forward to slamming the door behind her>
[02:00] arynwyn: Dres: <watches her go, not moving to stop her, bracing himself for the door slam> I was going to burn it. 
[02:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <spins back to him in the bedroom doorway> I would suggest you burn any further of her little "love letters" to you BEFORE coming to meet me.  At least that way I can pretend they don't exist.  I can play-act like I'm not waiting for the inevitable betrayal. <SLAM!  She sits on the edge of the bed, grabbing great handfuls of blanket as she tries to hold on to her anger.  She knows it's slipping away, and she won't like what's coming.  The anger makes her feel powerful, in control...the rapidly approaching crying storm will sap all her energy and leave her a weak, huddled mass.  She wishes she didn't have to have this happen here.  She wonders if the bed she's sitting on is the same bed he slept with Keira in (judging by the note's reference to the weekend spent here).  That gives her anger a quick surge, but she knows it won't last.>
[02:08] arynwyn: Dres: <doesn't wince as the door slams. he turns and picks up the pieces of the letter, pulling on his chest piece and boots, then slips out of the cabin quietly. he plans on being gone for several hours. he knows he looks stupid in his lounge pants and his chestpiece, but he doesn't care. this has to end now>
[02:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF?  Mya's just going to have her crying fit.))
[02:08] arynwyn: (( sure thing. ))
[02:09] arynwyn: Dres: <returns about three hours later, wet from the rain that started to fall. he steps into the cabin and shuts the door quietly, wondering if Mya is still shut up in the bedroom. he fights a shiver and sighs, thinking he's probably going to catch a cold>
[02:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is still in the bedroom.  Both she and the bedroom are in disarray: the pillows have been punched, thrown and even strangled a little, then hugged and cried into before the process starts up again; the bedclothes are a rumpled, tangled mess, wrapped around Mya's legs and tugged over her arms.  Mya herself is calming down but it's still obvious she has recently been a sobbing wreck: pale skin, red rimmed and puffy eyes, a red nose, tousled and messed up hair.  She's clinging to one pillow as her head rests on another, and the tears are still fresh on both, but they've slowed to a crawl now.  She's guessed Dresden left; she was screaming herself hoarse earlier and he didn't come.  She can't believe he could just ignore her like that, so she has to believe he wasn't there to hear it.  Right now, she lays on her side, hugs the pillow to her and stares glassily at the wall, confronted with the spectre of a Dresden-less life.>
[02:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Emo much, Mya?
 Mya: I'm not trying to commit suicide.  I'm not even thinking about it.))
[02:17] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. Wow. >.> ))
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She didn't break anything at least >.> ))
[02:20] arynwyn: Dres: <goes to the bedroom door and taps gently on it before pushing it open. he sighs when he sees her, the sight paining his heart> I have something for you, Mya. <he steps over to the bed and drops a sealed letter next to her> I went and talked to Keira. Well, we yelled instead of talked, but you get the picture. I told her I loved you and she had to get over it. Then I made her write you a sealed letter. I don't know what it says, which I'm sure is a bad idea, but... <shrugs a little and stuffs his hands in his pockets>
[02:20] arynwyn: (( Uhm, Tim and I are going to go get food I think. I should be back in a bit. ))
[02:20] arynwyn: (( sorry ))
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((YAY! Food!))
[02:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay <huggles> Go eat! :D ))
[02:20] arynwyn: (( <huggles> kk, be back in a while. ))
[02:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
[02:53] arynwyn: Back with teh happy 'tomach.
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY!
 Lemme close out teh Sims. :)
[02:54] arynwyn: kk
[02:54] Chaos Angel Sox: what'd you get to eat? ((whilst I wait on Sims to get to a point where I can exit :P ))
[02:55] Chaos Angel Sox: there we go...
[02:55] arynwyn: We went to Manchu Wok. Fast Chinese place. No the best of food, but eh. Got chicken w/ mushrooms (and zucchini) and sweet & sour chicken with some fried rice. :-)
[02:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mmm china-ma-nese.
[02:56] arynwyn: <giggle> Okies, so... Dres sets the note down. Your post. ^^
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Yep yep...
[02:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <looks at him when he comes in and stuffs her face into the pillow, ashamed of this display of weakness.  She pulls her face back out though when he says he talked with/yelled at Keira.  She looks at the note as if it's a snake about to bite her, then picks it up.  Her hand trembles a little - she's used a lot of energy and not had anything to eat or drink - but she breaks the seal and reads it, trying to get herself ready to be attacked.>
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1675538,00.html)(Link: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1675538,00.html)http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1675538,00.html  ...it makes sense, but...you never do think about it >.> ))
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Also - nice pic with this article :3 ))
[03:00] arynwyn: <the note is in the same small, slanted cursive: [Miss Duskblade, I apologize for whatever upset I caused between you and Dresden. It will not happen again. Dresden has made very clear that he loves you and nothing will ever be between him and me again. I wish you two luck. -Keira Vel'Ranian ]
[03:02] arynwyn: (( O_o yikes. ))
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...<she reads the note without comment or reaction - she's used up so much emotional energy already - and sets it down> I hope she means that. <snuggles into the pillow and then says, quietly> Are you mad at me, Dresden?  For all of this?  I know I shouldn't have read it, and...now, I kind of wish I hadn't given in to my curiosity.
[03:07] arynwyn: Dres: <pulls off his wet chestpiece, definitely shivering now> I'm not angry with you. I don't even care that you read the note. I'm <sigh> frustrated that you got upset with me, when I hadn't done anything wrong. <pulling off his other wet clothes and searching for warm, dry ones naked> And whether she means it or not, she said she'd leave me alone. Well, us alone. <pulling on pants and a long sleeved shirt. he sneezes> ...damn it.
[03:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sits up> I'm sorry.  I was...<realizes anything she says is just going to sound like an excuse and goes back to> I'm sorry. <she tries to finger-comb her hair back into order>  I just know how I feel, and how I feel is that I would never let some other woman have you.  If the situations had been reversed, that could've been my note.  <she pulls her knees up to her chest and just looks at him> You must have a thing for murderously jealous women.
[03:16] arynwyn: Dres: <sits on the bed next to her and pulls her close> Maybe I used to. Now I just have a thing for you. <leans in to kiss her, but stops halfway there, sighing> I can't kiss you. I'm getting sick. <he hugs her tightly instead> 
[03:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns> You think I care about a cold? <she kisses his cheek and neck and then pulls away to kiss his forehead to see if he has a temperature>
[03:19] arynwyn: Dres: <his forehead is hot; he smiles> I love you. <he lays down in the bed and pulls the blanket up over him, snuggling against her> I'm sorry.
[03:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Get some sleep.  I'll start making some soup for you once you pass out. <she finger combs his wet hair>
[03:21] arynwyn: Dres: <sighs> I'll be fine. Just a stupid cold. <but he closes his eyes, clinging to her>
[03:22] arynwyn: (( so... switching to someone else? or FF? or...? ))
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((omg Joe's AWAKE!  we could FF but she's going to be all caring and cooing and fawning over him because he's sick. <shrugs>))
[03:23] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> S'what I figured. ))
[03:23] arynwyn: (( So... to who, then? ))
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ummmm.....someone?  Sorry, catching Joe up on stuff.))
[03:26] arynwyn: (( oh, apparently we're watching a movie now. >.> d'you work tomorrow? ))
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Nope!))
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((What movie? :) ))
[03:27] arynwyn: (( mkay. you'll be on in a couple of hours still then? The Reaping ))
[03:28] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Heh, let me know what you think of the movie.  And yeah I'll be here.))
[03:28] arynwyn: (( mkay. be back in a while then ))
[03:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((have fun! :D ))

[05:11] Chaos Angel Sox: So what'd you think of The Reaping?
[05:16] arynwyn: 4.5 stars :-D
[05:16] Chaos Angel Sox: out of...?
[05:16] arynwyn: 5 >.>
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: wow. liked it that much, huh?
[05:17] arynwyn: Yeah. I thought it was good. ^^
[05:17] arynwyn: Yay for twists. Heh.
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh Dadoo liked the National Guard video you showed me :)
[05:17] arynwyn: Yay!
[05:17] Chaos Angel Sox: and Mooms is still talking about the Alarm Cat
[05:17] arynwyn: I gotta run to the bathroom, then are you up for RP? 
 
 <Laugh> Oh dear.
[05:18] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure! :D
[05:18] arynwyn: okies. brb.
[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Mmm.  Ginger-teriyaki beef w/ white rice and a rum & coke.  Joe has such good ideas...even if I did all the cooking >.>
[05:22] arynwyn: <laugh> niiiice. I'm back, and with candy!
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
[05:23] arynwyn: And the neighbors are having a rowdy party. >.>
[05:23] arynwyn: Mkay, so... Ath & Lyr?
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Booo...unless you can join them? <laughs>  Then yay!
 
 Driving home tonight was a nightmare: constant Halloween parties for like 6 blocks and almost everyone at them (A ) has dark costumes and (B ) has decided that the middle of the street is the best place to stop and talk to their buds. >_<
[05:24] Chaos Angel Sox: and yes I am all for the Ath & Lyr :)
[05:24] arynwyn: Oh dear. >.<
[05:24] arynwyn: At least the military provides us with large backyards. <giggle>
[05:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Sometimes I just want to run them down.  Then they'll learn...
[05:25] arynwyn: <laugh> Uhm. Maybe not such a good idea. >.>
[05:25] arynwyn: Mkay, so... starting where with them?
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: the judges would totally be on my side >.> 
 <.< 
 
 And Joe's playing a draenei :P  Anyway....umm....where to start, where to start....
[05:26] arynwyn: Eww... <giggle>
[05:26] arynwyn: Mya devising the devious sex plan? >.>
[05:28] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> If it's devious and involves sex, it's Mya.  Or Xenoliya.  One or the other.  They're quite similar.  Though we've already seen how Xenoliya handles jealousy - far less obviously emotional display :P 
 
 We could start with Mya...telling her plan to Ath, after clearing it with Ms. T. (after all, they need to have the practice room all to themselves, but during their normal training time...)?
[05:28] arynwyn: Mkay.
[05:28] arynwyn: Where in this two weeks are we?
[05:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmm...probably closing in.  3 or 4 days left?
[05:29] arynwyn: Mkay. So they're desperate. >.<
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: If it concerns sex with Athame, I assure that yes, I am desperate. <grin>
[05:30] arynwyn: Ath: <raises her hand sheepishly> Yeah, me too.
[05:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <rolls her eyes>
[05:31] arynwyn: (( Heh, Tim is going to go wait in line until midnight to get Guitar Hero 3 <giggle> ))
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Joe pre-ordered it ^_^))
[05:31] arynwyn: (( Tim did too. ))
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh dear ^_^ it's well past midnight here; Joe was asleep at 12 :P ))
[05:32] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:32] arynwyn: (( mkay, so... where are we going to have Ath & Mya? ))
[05:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((This is a great name: Barnabas Suebu.  I just love that name.  Anyway...um...the family homestead?  Oh! I know! Mya drags Ath out shopping without telling her what they're shopping for - she's trying to find the perfect thing for Ath to wear for the...er....occasion. ^_^))
[05:33] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Awesome. You wanna start? ))
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure :) ))
[05:34] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[05:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <dressed in proper noblewoman's garb, she keeps Athame at a quick pace, striding with determination towards her goal> Come on, come on.  I know this out of the way boutique that might have just what you need...
[05:36] arynwyn: Ath: <hurrying to keep up, her cloak whipping in the wind> And just what do I need, Mya?
[05:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Something sexy, but not too sexy...easy to get in and out of quickly...and of course it has to be flattering, but in a very understated way.  It has to look like it's something that's been in your closet for decades and you just now remembered it's there...
[05:39] arynwyn: (( "Here, smell Jupiter." "Wow, smells like strawberries." "And now Saturn." "Mmm, pine needles! <pulls away from the smelloscope> As long as you don't make me smell Uranus! <laugh>" "I'm sorry Fry, they renamed Uranus in 2062." "Oh, what's it named now?" "Urectum" -Futurama ))
[05:39] arynwyn: Ath: Seems you've put a lot of thought into this. <rolling her eyes> What do I need this for again?
[05:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LoL>))
 Mya: For the man you're going to marry. <she says offhandedly> Here we are! <pulls Ath into the shop; it's a dress shop but most of the dresses on display show some amount of cleavage and/or leg, tend to cling to the figure and a great many are some sort of velvet, silk or (at least partially) leather.  Think if Frederick's of Hollywood made dresses>
[05:43] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls away from Mya> I'm not wearing any of this stuff for him!... <sighs> We're wasting time, Mya. I need to come up with a way to NOT marry him, that's the whole point! 
[05:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs heavily> I said for the man you're going to marry, not the one Uncle wants you to.  In point of fact "this stuff" <she picks up a dress and holds it against Ath to eyeball the size and color, then shakes her head and returns it to its rack> will be helpful in you not marrying Lord High-Muckity-Muck...or whatever his name is.  <She resumes looking through the dresses>
[05:45] arynwyn: Ath: What do you have in mind? <Mya's got her attention now, and she begins looking through the racks>
[05:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I told you I'd do some investigating, right?  Uncle respects me enough that I get to sit in on most of his meetings.  I was there the last time Lord What's-His-Face ((I refuse to name him if I don't have to ^_~)) came by for "negotiations."  He has a lot of demands, but he's willing to pay handsomely for them.  One demand in particular though sort of...caught my ear.  What about this one?  <shows a dress to Ath> I'm not sure about the leather bodice, but it's a nice color...
[05:48] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:49] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> No leather. <she pulls out a long silken dress in a dark plum and holds it up to her body> So, what was the demand?
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <Puts the dress back and then looks around the shop warily; there's a clerk at the counter, but no other shoppers.  Still she slips in close to Ath to whisper> Virginity. <she retreats to normal distance and resumes digging through the racks> I figured that was an easy enough problem to solve...<she grins over her shoulder at her sister briefly>
[05:54] arynwyn: Ath: <looks over at her sister, flushing> So, I'm supposed to... and he's supposed to find out.  But my reputation?... <puts the dress back and flips through a few more, not really looking at them>
[05:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> That will depend greatly on what your current groom chooses to say about why he's changed his mind.  Odds are quite likely your reputation will take something of a hit; even once you marry Lyranon, it won't look good for a long time. <she stops browsing to address her sister> This will be a challenge.  But I know you can do this.  We'll work out the PR later.  We're running out of time.
[05:59] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and swallows> Logistics? When, where? <continues flipping through dresses>
[06:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, you're almost never alone nowadays.  Uncle's spies are very good at keeping you in sight, though they usually stay out of earshot.  And they've got regular patrols set up around your room.  So, I've been talking to your tea...oo, Athie, what about this one?  The buttons might be a bit of a hassle, but there aren't many, and it's a nice shade of blue. <pulling one off to show to her>
[06:04] arynwyn: Ath: Oh, I like that one! <she takes it and puts it to her body> Do you think it would look good on me? <she feels the fabric and closes her eyes to imagine what it would feel like with Lyr's hands on her like that. she begins to turn very red and she opens her eyes> You've been talking to who? <clearing her throat>
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Your teacher, Ms. Terrian.  <she pauses> And by "teacher", I mean "chimney."  <she rolls her eyes>  Oh, and there's a dressing room over there if you want to try it on.
[06:06] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and heads over to it> What did you talk to her about? I mean, do you have a plan then? <goes in a pulls the curtain, slipping out of her robes and into the dress>
[06:06] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Best. Sentence. EVER: "We had gonads flying around the country." ))
[06:06] arynwyn: (( <giggle> What's with that?! ))
[06:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, you need to be alone with Lyr in a private room for a few hours, right?  You're in a private room for hours with Lyr nearly every day: training.  You're just not...alone.  Ms.Terrian's willing to provide an excuse for the two of you to practice alone tomorrow...and to conveniently stumble in on you two, thus opening the door and allowing Uncle's spies the material they need to make the properly damning report.

[06:09] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls the curtain back and steps out in the dress> She's willing to do that? Wow, I'm surprised... <she does a 360 so Mya can see the dress on her>
[06:10] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Niiiiice. ))
[06:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <studies the dress on Ath> Not bad.  Keep it as a candidate and let's see what else we have.  Or you could just buy it in addition to anything else we find. <she laughs> I like what it does to your bustline, but it's not quite so great for the rest of your figure.  Back to the shopping! <grin> And as for your teacher....she seemed...amused by the idea.  I think she just wants a chance to see Lyr naked...or at least mostly naked. 
 
 ((Yep - she's still spry enough that she likes a look at tasty man flesh once in a while.  Also, she knows it'll embarass the hell out of both of them and finds that hilarious.))
[06:14] arynwyn: Ath: ... ... ... <sighs and steps back in and changes back into her robe, then comes back out> This is going to be so embarrassing, isn't it?... I'm going to have to lock myself in my room for days... <hands the dress to the clerk and resumes browsing>
[06:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Worth it though, to not only get rid of Lord Lecher but to get to have madly passionate sex with Lyr for a few hours?  Besides, Uncle will INSIST you marry Lyr at that point.  This is the easiest, least painful way to get what you want....over and over and over again. <grinning and digging through dresses; she finds a deep rich wine one she likes and drapes it over her arm to buy for herself>
[06:18] arynwyn: Ath: <turning crimson again> I suppose so. <she steps in close to her sister and says quietly> But what if he doesn't like... me... for it... <keeping her head low to cover her blush, flipping through more dresses> What if I'm no good?...
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <exhales and pats her sister on the back reassuringly> I can give you some more tips if you want, but honestly, it's mostly just instinct.  Even the most active whore in the red light district has to learn what each client wants and likes.  So the first few times will be good...and then as you get to know one another, it'll head from there on up to mind-blowing pretty quickly.
 Besides, I still remember when I showed you how to get to his house a couple weeks ago.  He's crazy about you.  There's no way you can be bad to him.  Stop worrying so much.
[06:22] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a deep breath and nods> Okay. So, when are we supposed to do this? Tomorrow? And I suppose I'm supposed to just tell him this?
[06:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> You can go tell him tonight, but the spies'll be on you; there's one outside your door as well as the patrols around your window.  It's safest to explain to him, quietly, in the practice room.  Though Ms. Terrian says the room's nearly sound-proof, for the sake of others in the Temple who might be praying or meditating. <looking through dresses> Nice shape, but bad color...this would be great but it would do NOTHING for your figure at ALL....no, no, Ooo, I like this one...but it'd be damnably hard to get you out of...
[06:27] arynwyn: Ath: I'll just wait until tomorrow... <she fidgets, nervous, not looking through dresses anymore> Yeah, tomorrow. 
[06:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frets over dresses for a moment or two longer, then realizes her sister's quiet and not moving as much; she turns to her> Athie?  What's up?
[06:30] arynwyn: Ath: <faint smile> I'm fine. Just nervous. I feel a little sick, actually. I didn't eat breakfast. Maybe you should just pick something out for me... You're better at it than me anyway. <goes back over to the dressing room and sits down in the waiting chair>
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo: "He who has never been burned by the sun won't know the value of shadow." - Turkish proverb))
 
 Mya: <sighs and pursues, kneeling next to the chair> I know it's not the most...ideal setting for this sort of thing.  But your honeymoon with Lyr can make up for the lack of romance, right?
[06:32] arynwyn: (( Cool. ^^ ))
[06:34] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles a little> It's not that. I'm just nervous... <looks down at her hands, fidgeting still> Excited, but nervous. 
[06:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles faintly> Just don't drink too much before you head over there.  Remember, it has to look like you're just going in for training.  <she pats Ath's hands> Everything'll be fine.  <she looks around a little and spies a dress in Ath's favorite color> Ooo, Athie! Look!  <goes to grab it and brings it over to her chair>
[06:38] arynwyn: Ath: <takes the dress and holds it up, looking over it critically. she smiles> It's perfect. <it's a dark blue satin dress with silver buttons down the back, a low bust line and a dipping back> Come on, let's go. 
[06:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> You want to stop somewhere and get a little treat?  Chocolate dipped goodies?  Fruit tarts?
[06:40] arynwyn: Ath: For now or tomorrow? <grin> 
[06:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <laughs> Why not both?
[06:41] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Okay. Let me pay for this and I'll be ready. <she steps over to the counter and offers the clerk the gold, then has it wrapped and boxed up>
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <pays for the dress she picked out and smiles at her sis> Anything else you want for tomorrow?  I mean you can't exactly take a huge bag of stuff in there with you, but a little treat for your teacher and fellow student shouldn't be a big deal.
[06:45] arynwyn: Ath: Like what? Besides the chocolate-covered fruit?
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> Aphrodesiac? <grins and holds the shop door for Ath>
[06:47] arynwyn: Ath: <steps out> Oh dear. Am I going to need something like that? I mean, isn't that for women who can't, uhm, turn their man on?... 
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well, I doubt you need it.  It just sort of kickstarts things a bit faster.  But you're right; this is going to be awkward enough for you.  I'd hate for your first time to be a drug-fueled passionate frenzy.
[06:50] arynwyn: Ath: <flushes> Yeah... I think I'll stick with the fruit. 
 
 (( So, we gunna FF? :-D ))
[06:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod>))
[06:51] arynwyn: (( okies. ))
[06:51] arynwyn: Ath: <arrives extra early the next morning wearing the slinky blue dress. she steps into the room and sits in a corner, working at keeping her breathing normal>
[06:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <shows up around his usual time.  He opens the door with a smile on his face, as he knows this is some of the rare time he gets with Athame...and stops to blink at her, standing in the doorway> Wow...<stepping into the room and letting the door shut> You look really nice today. <smile>
[06:54] arynwyn: Ath: <begins her flush-fest. she stands and smiles over at him> Uhm, well... today is a special day. <swallows and fights the faint feeling she has>
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Oh?  Is it a good special day or a bad special day?  I mean...your uncle isn't announcing the engagement to that guy today is he?  <he looks worried, even as he looks her over>
[06:57] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head, stepping over to him> No. It's a good special. This is the day we prevent my engagement to that man from being announced. 
 
 (( Is Ms T coming in at all beforehand or not until later? ))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> She has to give the setup...the reason why she's leaving them alone.))
 
 Lyr: <both eyebrows rise in surprise and he grins> Really?  Oh, well if I'd known, I'd've dressed up too.  So how do we accomplish this miracle?
 
 Ms.T: <her presence is, as usual, announced via coughing and smoke as she pushes in through the door> Okay you two.  I've things I need to see to that are more important than you two.  So I've decided, since you both apparently like it so much, that today will be more combat training.  Death ends a match; winner rezzes the loser, and no going again until you're both ready, got it?  I'll be back later to see who's died the most and that person's going to get some extra hard training from here on out.
[07:03] arynwyn: Ath: <gives Ms. T a bright smile (she can't help it) and nods> 
[07:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <nods> Yes, ma'am. <grins at Ath> Ready to see who goes down first?
 
 Ms.T: <tries not to laugh; she hides it with a cough> Have at.  Try not to be too vicious. <she waves as she pulls the door open and walks out, letting it fall closed behind>
[07:06] arynwyn: Ath: <waits until the door shuts, then turns back to Lyr, smiling and flushing more> We're not supposed to be dueling today, Lyranon... <she chews on her bottom lip nervously>
[07:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Huh? But...Ms. Terrian just said...
[07:09] arynwyn: Ath: My sister... <laughs a little and takes his hand, leading him over to the wall> Let me start at the beginning. So, this man I'm supposed to be getting engaged to has a thing for <crimson> virgins. My sister devised this plan to, well... <looks away from him> change that little fact about me. To make me undesirable to him. She spoke with Ms. Terrian, who agreed to give us time alone today, but she'll be... walking in on us later. It will be a scandal, and I will look bad, but... it's worth it. 
[07:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blinks> Wait...we...<stops to think about this>...I'm not opposed to the idea of making you undesirable to the guy your uncle wants to marry you off to...and I'm certainly not opposed to HOW...but...are you sure you want to do this?  Especially given what it will do to your reputation?
[07:12] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and looks up into his eyes> I'm sure.
[07:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sighs and runs a hand back through his hair> You know...this isn't exactly how I'd imagined our first time together...though that really is a stunning dress. <He looks down at her, and, frankly, this close, all that does is give him a clear and good view of her cleavage.>
 
 ((And now for totally-inappropriate-for-this-scene movie time!))
[07:19] arynwyn: Ath: <looks back down at her hands> I know. It's not how I imagined my first time at all, or my first time with you. But... I don't have any other ideas. It's either this or... or marry Lord Greysun. <shakes her head> If you don't want to, then we won't...
[07:19] arynwyn: (( <laugh> What movie? ))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I said I'd do anything to keep you out of his hands, and I meant it. <he slides his hands around her waist> Besides, I can't think of a more pleasant way to accomplish that. <soft smiles and brushes some hair out of her face>
 
 ((Silence of the Lambs))
[07:23] arynwyn: Ath: <blushing again, she leans against him, her hand shaking a little as she reaches up to touch his cheek> I can't either. Oh, uhm... I have chocolate covered strawberries and bananas and orange slices if you want some...
 
 (( ooooo! And Guitar Hero 3 has a song by Dope from an album that's not been released yet!!! :-D ))
[07:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay :) ))
 
 Lyr: Maybe...after...<he clears his throat> Um...<he laughs nervously> You know, I hardly know where to start.  And at least the floor's padded, hm? <he falls into a sitting position and pats the mat next to him as he tries to, y'know...just look casual>
[07:28] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and kneels down next to him> I don't really know where to start either... <takes a deep breath and tries to stop her shaking>
[07:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles softly and puts an arm around her> Nervous, sweetheart? <kisses the top of her head reassuringly>
[07:30] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and leans against him, closing her eyes. she wraps an arm around him> But you like the dress?
[07:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You look even more beautiful than usual in it. <he strokes her hair soothingly>  Did you buy that just for...this?  For me? <still smiling>
[07:34] arynwyn: Ath: Oh, it's something I've had in my closet for years... <giggles softly> That's what my sister told me to say, anyway. <she grins up at him, blushing faintly, though she's calmed down some> Yes, I bought it just for you. 
[07:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm honored. <he runs his hand along one sleeve> Nice fabric too.  <he combs the hand into her hair gently and sighs> I wish I'd known.  I would've worn something nicer than this regular ol' robe.  Brushed my hair more....something.
[07:39] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles> But I love how you look, just like this. As a priest. Where I know you're happiest. And your hair is cute, in an unruly kind of way. <giggles again>
[07:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Great, I'm cute.  Kind of out of the league of someone as stunning as you.  <he leans in to kiss her carefully>
[07:41] arynwyn: Ath: <blushes again, returning the kiss gently, one hand sliding around to the back of his neck>
[07:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pulls her closer slowly, ready for her to shove him away at any moment.  In the meantime, he runs his hand out of her hair, down along her neck and spine>
[07:45] arynwyn: Ath: <feels her breath catch in her throat as she presses against him, her other hand wrapping around to rest on his lower back>
[07:46] arynwyn: (( So, uhm... is Lyr a virgin too? Just out of curiosity. ))
[07:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Not technically.  Some of his friends took him out a couple of times and bought him female companionship >.> but he was usually pretty drunk to agree to it, and he's never had a girlfriend/relationship.  So he's not physically a virgin, but he's not...oh, Lore, for example.))
[07:47] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> okies ))
[07:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Almost no one's Lore though....'cept maybe Kat. xD ))
 
 Lyr: <One hand on her back, he rests the other on her shoulder and slides his hand down her chest from there, obviously very cautiously.  He keeps expecting to get slapped.>
[07:53] arynwyn: Ath: <sucks in a quick breath and shivers lightly. she smiles faintly> I'm not going to slap you... <she puts a hand over his (the one on her chest) and looks up at him>
[07:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...I hope not.  It does kind of...kill the mood. <he slides his hand out from under hers to join his other one on her back...so he can start fiddling with the buttons while he kisses her deeply>
[07:57] arynwyn: Ath: <returns the kiss and starts on his robes, her breathing unsteady. she's a little lightheaded and she begins to tremble again, praying he doesn't dislike her body...>
[07:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he moves down to her neck...and finally gets the first button undone.  He's nervous, and he can't see the buttons, after all.  Everything he does is slow and soft, giving her every opportunity to stop him, and him every opportunity to fully enjoy her skin>
[08:01] arynwyn: Ath: <she closes her eyes and bows her head, then slips out of the top of the dress. she's very aware that her heavy and irregular breathing causes her chest to be more visible, but for the life of her she can't get her breathing under control. she waits, trembling, for his reaction>
[08:02] arynwyn: *her breathing draws attention to her chest ... that makes more sense. >.<
[08:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <can't help looking at all the newly revealed flesh on display, kisses her lips with a brief intensity, then goes back to kissing his way down from her neck, his hands slowly sliding over her shoulders, her arms, her back, her ribs and then up from there, which just conveniently lifts her breasts gently up to his lips; he's kissing around her bra (which I'm assuming she's wearing? if she's not, well...then he's not doing that ^_^ )>
[08:05] arynwyn: (( No bra. <giggle> ))
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: <3 <3 ))
[08:07] arynwyn: Ath: <gasps softly and lets her head fall back, her eyes still closed. she runs a hand through his hair and caresses the skin of his neck gently>
[08:09] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I just imagined it as one of those dresses with a built-in shelf bra. <shrug> ))
[08:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <carefully pushes her back and works at getting his robe off in annoyance>
 
 ((I tend to assume bras, but then I remembered you'd said it had a really low back, so then I was like "Crap I don't think they have backless bras in this time/tech level...so...maybe she's not wearing one at all..." ))
[08:10] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[08:10] arynwyn: (( And he's pushing her back as in down? onto the floor? ))
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod> Padded floor.  Really padded - like two or three gymnastics mats padded.))
[08:11] arynwyn: (( okies ))
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((A mattress would still be better >.> but....))
[08:11] arynwyn: Ath: <lays back on the floor and looks up at him, smiling faintly, her face flushed> ...I love you. 
[08:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <as he finally gets his robe off; he's got pants on under the robe, but not a shirt.  He smiles at her> I love you more. <he sticks his tongue out at her playfully>
[08:14] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles> Not possible, I assure you. <she smiles and sticks her tongue out at him in return. she grabs his belt and tugs him down, kissing him deeply, her hands caressing his chest>
[08:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blinks in shock for a moment, but goes back to kissing and caressing.  His hand slides along one of her still dress-covered legs ('cause she only slid the top part off, yes?)>You <in between gasping kisses> are intoxicating, Athame.
[08:18] arynwyn: (( yes, she did. and what's he shocked at? >.> ))
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Her grabbing him and pulling him down like that. :) ))
[08:20] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles softly, blushing again> Why thank you. I do my best... <kisses him again, her hands sliding around to his back, pressing him down on her>
[08:20] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[08:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((good shock! good shock :) ))
 Lyr: <he starts to push her skirt up, but changes his mind.  His hands return to her waist and work on pushing the dress the rest of the way off of her, so he doesn't get it...soiled> You let me know if I do something you don't like...<nuzzles some of her skin and kisses it>
[08:24] arynwyn: Ath: <her eyes closed, she nods, breathing heavy with anticipation> Alright. <she lifts her body to accomidate the dress removal>
[08:25] arynwyn: *accomodate
[08:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <having slid the dress off successfully, he starts working on his pants.  He's trying to get the clothes off quickly, even though every touch, every kiss is slow and savoring>
[08:28] arynwyn: Ath: <she opens her eyes to watch him pull off his pants, turning crimson as he does. she closes her eyes to avoid the uber blushing, her hand stroking his stomach>
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he has his pants most of the way off when he realizes she's got her eyes closed.  He ponders...then leans down to tickle her, grinning at her>
[08:31] arynwyn: Ath: <squeals and squirms away, giggling> Hey! <she sits up, her arms wrapped around her body for protection> That's not part of the deal! <grinning>
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles at her> But you're giggling and smiling...<tickles her sides, under her arms, and just happens to "accidentally" brush a sensitive (though not necessarily ticklish) area between her legs>...making you happy is everything I could want... <grin>
[08:35] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles and squirms more, then turns scarlet again after he touches her, looking away from him> I am happy. Very happy. Are you?
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - nature called.))
[08:38] arynwyn: (( no worries ^^ ))
[08:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Extremely.  <gives up the tickling pretense...with some regret (It was fun watching her squirm), and just touches her in uncertain "am I doing this right?" strokes between her legs, watching her for her reactions so he knows the answer to that unasked question>
[08:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I know this is going slow but between his natural uncertainty and his half expecting to either be pushed away or to wake up any second... ^_^; ))
[08:42] arynwyn: Ath: <closes her eyes and turns even redder, gasping softly at his touches. she eventually lays back down on the mats, one hand on his chest>
[08:42] arynwyn: (( No worries. Ath's the same. ^^ ))
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <gently starts to slide her panties down, resuming his kissing of whatever piece of skin he can find> If...it's too fast or you're not comfortable, Athame...
[08:47] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head but continues to squeeze her eyes shut> No, I'm... I'm fine... <lifts her body to help him remove her underwear, lightheaded again> I mean... If... if you're fine... with this... <she finally opens her eyes and looks up at him>
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <His chest is rising and falling at a pretty good pace, though not as heavily as hers.  He leans down to kiss her> I'm...more than fine with it.  Now smile or I'll tickle you again. <grin>
[08:53] arynwyn: (( sorry, we were watching a video on youtube ))
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Is okay :D ))
[08:54] arynwyn: Ath: <gives a nervous smile, then returns the kiss deeply, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly>
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <holds her for a minute, nuzzles her neck a little, then pulls away to get his own undies off.  He tries not to make a big deal of this, and wishes he weren't blushing a little>
 
 ((Lyr: Undies?  I wear "undies"?
 Me: If I say you do, you do.))
[08:57] arynwyn: (( <giggles> ))
[08:58] arynwyn: Ath: <watches him, blushing again but smiling. she takes a deep breath and fights off her dizziness, waiting and wondering what comes next>
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he ponders the situation a bit, then lays on his side next to her, pulling her in close to him and just getting used to the feel of her skin pressed against his. He closes his eyes and sighs in contentment...and decides against tickling her this time>
[09:01] arynwyn: (( sorry- bathroom & glass of water called ))
[09:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Totally cool :) ))
[09:03] arynwyn: Ath: <snuggles in close to him, into his arms, her body pressed against his. she calms back down and closes her eyes, a light smile playing on her lips> ...this is nice...
[09:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Mmm. <he rubs her back> I like this.  <he opens his eyes and kisses her, an edge of hunger in his normally slow kiss.  His hand runs down her back, all the way down until it's on the back of one of her thighs>
[09:09] arynwyn: Ath: <kisses back, the same hunger in her kiss. she presses her fully body against his, her hand running down his stomach to his <censored>, stroking him gently, turning red as she does>
[09:10] arynwyn: (( sorry about the "<censored>" thing, but, well... I dunno what else to put. >.> ))
[09:11] arynwyn: *full body
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> I know that problem all too well ^_^ ))
 
 Lyr: <looks at her, surprised again, but can't really say anything.  He doesn't let her go on with this too long though> Last chance... <he smiles at her and pushes her back as gently as he can; this is probably the roughest he's been with her so far, actually, just in how sudden the action is> ...you're sure you're okay with this? I don't think I'm strong enough to stop once we start.  Maybe some other guy might be, but...I'm not that guy.
[09:16] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls him in to kiss him hard, then lays back. she smiles and nods> I'm okay with this. I'm not exactly ready, but we don't have the luxury of time. And I'd rather this be with you than anyone else. <Like Lord Greysun...> I love you. That's all that matters. 
[09:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <frowns at the "not exactly ready" comment> It shouldn't have to be this way.  You deserve...silk sheets and...and all the time in the world to be ready.  <he starts to move away from her, looking off to oneside>
[09:20] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> We don't have that option, Lyranon... And I know it will be like that on our wedding night. <she grabs his hand and pulls him back to her> We have to do this, or we won't have a wedding night.... <her eyes get a little teary> Please. You said you wouldn't let me marry him... 
[09:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Oh light, don't cry...<kissing her quickly>...you know I won't let that happen.  <he realigns himself and exhales> I...I've heard this hurts sometimes, for girls.  I...I'll try not to hurt you.  Just, please forgive me if I do. <frantic kissing by way of apology in advance>
[09:25] arynwyn: Ath: <kisses him back each time, smiling a little> I'll be fine. <she widens her legs to let him in, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath>
 
 (( Heh, reading my mind again. None of my other virgins have ever had a painful first time so I was gunna do that for her. <giggle> ))
[09:26] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> I m in your headz, readin' your thoughtz.  totally.  He's just paranoid. >.>))
 
 Lyr: <nods, takes a deep breath and eases into her, watching her reaction the whole way...and trying to remember to breathe>
[09:28] arynwyn: Ath: <gasps as he does, biting her bottom lip and digging her nails into the flesh of his arms. she keeps her eyes shut tight, and as he pushes all the way in, she lets out a little strangled cry before biting her lip to shut herself up>
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Athame? <he kisses her temple and whispers apologies into her ear> I'm sorry, I'm sorry...<petting her hair>
[09:30] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head and takes a deep breath> ...'m fine... <she wraps her arms around him> Just go on. <faint smile> Better to do this now than on our wedding night, right?...
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm not so sure about that...<he hesitantly starts setting a rhythm, very very slowly at first, out of his fear of hurting her again; his breathing quickly dissolves into panting gasps.>
[09:35] arynwyn: Ath: <she focuses on him and his pleasure, instead of the burning and aching sensation between her legs, holding him to her>
[09:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <initially torn between hurrying up so he can get off of her and going slow so he doesn't hurt her more, he gradually picks up the pace, kissing her neck, caressing her breasts and, really, any skin he can easily find (which means he's propping himself up a little on his other arm, to try and keep some of his weight off of her).  He whispers her name over and over, like a litany as he starts to lose the reasoning part of his mind>
[09:40] arynwyn: Ath: <her eyes closed, she tries to enjoy his kisses and touches but the pain keeps her from the pleasure. she caresses his neck and shoulder and face blindly, still trying to give him as much pleasure as she can>
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <naturally, he tries to hold on for her sake, but it's quickly apparent to him that that'd be a long wait...and for something that might not show.  He sighs and forces himself to stop...which is difficult.  Very very difficult.  But, he does manage to pull out of her and move away from her, without finishing, though his body wants to very badly.  The rest of him....just looks down at her and tries not to cry.  He hangs his head and lays down next to her, rolling onto his side so he's facing away from her> I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry...
[09:46] arynwyn: Ath: Why are you stopping? <sits up and barely avoids wincing> I don't want you to stop... <she frowns, then says as playfully as she can manage> Come now, do as your soon-to-be wife instructs, and finish what you started. <small smile and a blush>
[09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I...can't.  I can't go on when I know you're not getting any pleasure out of it.  I feel like...<he sighs and glances at her over one shoulder> ...it doesn't matter.  You're not a virgin anymore, whether I get off or not.  That's the important thing.  You've been...<looks away from her again>...appropriately violated.  He won't want you anymore.
[09:50] arynwyn: Ath: <rolls him over onto his back and looks down at him> Lyranon, please... <she leans down and kisses him deeply> I want you to... <using his words> get off. Please. Don't make me beg. <small smile> Or, I suppose I could... <glances down at his thinger>
[09:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: "Thinger"?
 Me: Do not question what we label your anatomy as!
 Lyr: -_- women.
 Me: <arched eyebrow>
 Lyr: By which I of course mean "Goddesses".... o_O 
 Me: Better.))
[09:52] arynwyn: (( <giggle> sorry Lyr... ))
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: No.  Don't.  It'll go away on its own soon. <he sits up> It's...well, we'll try again...when you're ready.  Not before.  I can't stand hurting you like that.
[09:55] arynwyn: Ath: <pushes him back down, calling into mind the directions Mya gave her, slipping his thinger into her mouth and sucking gently>
[09:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <gasps> Ath...!<he can't get the rest of her name out, and for a second or two he just lays there, eyes dropping shut and a groan escaping his lips.  Then he pushes her off and holds her at a distance> ...Athame...don't.  It...that's not...you don't have to....
[09:58] arynwyn: Ath: Lyranon, stop telling me what to do and not do! You're not my husband yet. <she pulls out of his grasp and pushes him back down, going back to her work before he can stop her again>
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he gives up, mostly because his body forcibly shuts his brain down.  He tries to give her a warning, but his orgasm takes him by surprise as well.  When he can think again, his first instinct is to feel incredibly guilty>
[10:00] arynwyn: Ath: <does very well for her first time, swallowing everything down quickly and without choking. she's blushing again though, and she can't believe she just did that. she avoids meeting his gaze> So, uhm... do you want some fruit now?... 
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...<he shakes his head and replies between gasps for air> You...go ahead...you...probably...need it more....more than...I do...and I just...need to...breathe....<he's blushing and he's gone back to not looking at her>
[10:03] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls her bag over and tugs out the box of fruit, bringing her knees to her chest and wrapping one arm around them, facing away from him. she opens the box and pulls out a strawberry, then takes a slow bite> I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced you. <she sighs>
[10:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <that gets him to look at her in a different sort of shock this time> YOU shouldn't ha...? <he sighs and goes over to her, scooting in behind her to wrap his arms around her and kiss the back of her neck> I feel like...like I was doing all the forcing. <resting his head against her shoulder>
[10:07] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head and finishes the strawberry> None of this was your idea. How could you have forced me? <she wraps her arms around his arms and leans back against him> But you have to tell me, did I do it right? 'Cause I was going on instructions... I had no idea what I was doing, really.
[10:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Instruc...? <sighs> You were fine, Athame. <kisses her shoulder> 
 
 <There's a very loud and familiar cough outside the door.  And another.  Apparently she's just wheezing away out there...without coming in yet>
 
 Lyr: <looks at the door> Think we should move so it looks like we're in some sort of passionate embrace, or would my being naked and holding you while you're naked be enough?
[10:12] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head and pushes the bag away, turning around to face him> We should probably be doing... something... <already feeling humiliated. she takes a deep breath> 
[10:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <leans her back and presses up against her and says quietly, before bending to kiss her neck> At least she gave us some warning before just barging in...
 
 Ms.T: <thus commences with the barging in, leaving door wide open.  She pretends to be shocked...and checks out Lyr's butt> THIS is not combat training...
 
 Lyr: <sitting up quickly and covering himself with his hands> ...well, we just...um....added some new rules.... <blush not at all feigned>
[10:16] arynwyn: Ath: ...oh gods... <her blush and humiliation isn't faked either, and she covers her  face, crawling over to her dress and covering herself as best as she can>
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Ms.T: I can't believe you two.  Get dressed and get out of here!  Reeks of sex in here now...
 
 Lyr: <pulling his pants on quickly> ...better that than smoke.
 
 Ms.T: <arches a quite unfeigned eyebrow at his attitude> You, boy, already are dressed enough to be seen in public.  Get your stuff and get out.
 
 Lyr: <looks at Athame, an apology once again on his face>
[10:20] arynwyn: Ath: <doesn't look at him. she tugs on her cothes quickly, buttoning what she can, then grabs her bag and flees. she keeps her head down, tears stinging at her eyes>
[10:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sighs as he pulls on his shirt and grabs the rest of his clothes.  He starts to head for the door>
 
 Ms.T: <as her student nears her, she comments to him quietly> Doesn't seem like you two enjoyed this.
 
 Lyr: <he doesn't say anything, just keeps on walking>
[10:23] arynwyn: (( mkay, so... FF to what? ))
[10:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I vote for sleep.  my sleep anyway. ))
[10:24] arynwyn: (( mkay. I thought you might. ))
[10:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((getting out of emo-boy's color. :P ))
[10:24] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[10:24] arynwyn: (( <huggles> happy sleepings. ))
[10:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles> happy nekkid Jaes sleepings to you too, when you get there. :) ))
[10:24] arynwyn: (( I'm going too. :-D ))
[10:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((coo coo.  I'll be on later. :) ))
[10:25] arynwyn: (( mkay. see you then! ))
[10:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((g'night!))

[20:06] arynwyn: <huggles>
[20:07] arynwyn: <pokety?>
[20:17] arynwyn: dootedoo...
[20:23] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggleses>
[20:23] arynwyn: woo!
[20:23] arynwyn: guess what?!
[20:24] arynwyn: my best friend emailed me and I'm in the process of emailing her back. I haven't talked to her in MONTHS.
[20:24] Chaos Angel Sox: YAY! :D And that's much better than what I was going to guess :3
[20:24] arynwyn: What were you going to guess? <giggle>
[20:24] Chaos Angel Sox: That you were kidnapped by a tribe of mutant cannibal hamsters who made you their queen.
[20:24] arynwyn: O_o
[20:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Hey, it could happen.
[20:25] arynwyn: <ROFL> Where do you come up with this stuff?!
[20:25] Chaos Angel Sox: I pretty much just pull it out of my ass. ^_^; 
[20:25] arynwyn: <giggles> 
[20:27] Chaos Angel Sox: I miss the old photo lab I worked in.  I had a great boss.
 She was gone extra long for her lunch one time and everyone was starting to get worried.  So I started saying she was kidnapped by aliens who wanted her for breeding purposes but then they made her their queen and she had to go be crowned Supreme Awesome Ruler of their planet.
 
 So then she comes back and before anyone can ask her what happened/where she's been, I was all like, "Were you kidnapped by aliens who wanted you for breeding purposes, only they made you their queen and you had to go be crowned Supreme Awesome Ruler of their planet and that's why you're late?"  And she didn't blink or look surprised, she just said, "Yep.  I hate it when that happens."  Totally deadpan.  :3
[20:28] arynwyn: <ROFL> Sweeeeeet. :-D
[20:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ANYway....
[20:28] arynwyn: <giggle>
[20:29] Chaos Angel Sox: In my mind, Lyr's been talking to a friend of his in a bar somewhere.  And of course drinking a lot, though he's not really drunk.  He might be a little unsteady on his feet though >.>  But he just happened to run into this old friend of his he hadn't seen in a while, so...
[20:30] arynwyn: So?! Don't leave me hangin'! Ath has gone and shut herself up in her room, indefinitely. >.>
[20:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh dear. <.< (just 'cause I always type the eyes looking the other way...)  Well, said old friend will be needed later for the whole "getting around what Lyr's dad wants him to do" bit.  but for now, Lyr swore him to appropriate secrecy and has been babbling away about what happened and blah blah blah.  I fell asleep before anything significant could happen. ^_^; 
 
 Of course, by now, Furon knows....so he's...um...pretty likely to come have a Chat with his niece. ~_~
[20:32] arynwyn: Yeah... >.>
[20:32] arynwyn: Even *I'm* nervous about that. 
[20:32] arynwyn: muffins! Bbr
[20:32] arynwyn: *brb
[20:32] Chaos Angel Sox: <laugh>
[20:33] Chaos Angel Sox: I didn't realize Furon was so scary. o_O
 Selah: He's not scary to me.  He's warm and soft and he makes me happy.
 Furon: I try, beloved. <kissing her hand>
 Selah: <devoted smile>
[20:34] arynwyn: >.>
[20:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon = warm & soft.  Try and wrap your head around that.
[20:34] arynwyn: <holds out her hand to Furon>
[20:34] arynwyn: <giggle> Yeah, it doesn't work...
[20:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <looks at your hand> Yes? Did you want something?
[20:34] arynwyn: <withdraws it> Exactly. 
[20:36] Chaos Angel Sox: <snicker> So you might be able to understand how Selah only sees what she wants to see: Furon's damn near a completely different person when he's alone with her.  And he really does love her.  Hell, he's been in love with her for decades; it's why he killed his best friend. >.>  
 
 ANYway.....now that you're fortified with muffins, are you ready for the "Chat" ?
[20:36] arynwyn: <nodnod> I'm as ready as I'm going to get, methinks.
[20:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Furon: I am big and scary now, Rawr!))
 
 Furon: <strides straight past the butler who opens the door for him at his brother's house and makes a beeline upstairs.  He knocks imperiously on Ath's door> Aileth, we're going to talk.  <Note that this is not a question.>
[20:40] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls herself out of the crying ball she's curled herself into, attempting to straighten her hair. she steps over to the door and pull it open, her head down> Yes, Uncle. <her eyes are red and puffy, and she's changed from the dress into a black robe, which is crumpled from laying on the bed>
[20:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <arches an eyebrow and pushes past her into her room.  He shuts the door for her, pushing it hard enough that she can't hold onto the knob, but not slamming it> You at least seem appropriately dismayed by your misbehavior.  That gives me some hope for the moral decency of women in this family.
[20:42] arynwyn: Ath: <keeps her head bowed and she takes a deep breath for courage> ...no, Uncle, I am not dismayed. I am humilitated, but I don't regret what I did.
[20:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: You should feel humiliated.  I've half a mind not to let you go back to the Temple.  But instead, I'll merely take up the matter of your instruction with your teacher directly.  Be grateful I don't pull you out of there entirely and shut you up in here until your wedding day.  <he sighs heavily>  So what happened?  Did he seduce you?  Or do you really want young Mr. Sul'nova badly enough to utterly debase yourself like that?  And if he touched you against your will, tell me.  I'll see to it myself he never sees another sunrise.
[20:49] arynwyn: Ath: He did nothing of the sort. <she sighs and sits down on her bed> I tried to tell you about the arguing, Uncle, but you didn't listen. We were doing that to buy time to come up with a plan to get him out of having to work at his father's business after we were married. Then you said I was going to marry someone else. We couldn't come up with a plan besides "ruining" me in the eyes of Lord Greysun, so that's what we did. We love each other, so there's nothing to regret. <staring at her hands in her lap>
[20:51] arynwyn: (( Having connection problems? ))
[20:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bathroom. ^_^; and then Joe left magazine full of shiny toys in there...so I got distracted by the shiny.  please forgive.))
[20:52] arynwyn: (( <LOL>  No worries ))
[20:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Furon: <he blinks at her and then sighs> One of these days, you will both learn that you don't always get everything you want.  Though for now, you have gotten that much.  Lord Greysun will never agree to marrying you now, and I will get the joy of cleaning up after your mess.  You'll have to marry Lyranon Sul'nova now; you've left yourself very little choice, so I hope you're happy with him.  He won't have half the fortune and prestige Lord Greysun would've given you, and if he doesn't take over his father's business, he'll have even less.  I know about young girls and their foolishly idealistic notions about love being all they need in the world.  You need to eat, you need a roof over your head.  And don't fool yourself that you can so easily give up the comforts of a noble life.  But regardless, your choice is made.  The wedding's in three days; no point in avoiding unseemly haste now.  <he leaves abruptly>
[21:01] arynwyn: Ath: <curls back up on her bed and sobs quietly>
[21:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Should I have Mya go talk to her or FF to Lyr talking to her?))
[21:04] arynwyn: (( Either. Your pick. ))
[21:05] Chaos Angel Sox: <a few hours later, after dark has fallen, there is the tak! tak! of pebbles being thrown at Ath's window>
[21:05] arynwyn: Ath: <starts from the light slumber she had fallen into and, making sure her door is closed, she steps over to the window and pushes it open>
[21:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <looks up at her.  He uneasily raises his hand in a wave and calls up as quietly as he can> Can we talk? <he's still wearing his robe and such from earlier>
[21:08] arynwyn: Ath: <calls down quietly> I'll try to come down but there are probably guards at my door... <she closes her window and goes to her door, pulling it open and looking out>
[21:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hee. I just ordered part of your Xmas stuff. :3 ))
 
 <There are no visible guards....though for that matter, there aren't any guards period.  No point in watching her like a hawk now; Furon's sent his spies elsewhere>
[21:09] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[21:10] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and goes through the house, stepping out and shutting the door behind her softly. she looks around for Lyr>
[21:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <is still waiting by her window.  When he sees her come out, he walks over to her.  He sways a little bit, and has to put a hand against the wall to help steady him at one point> So....I guess it worked then.  Father got the news, at any rate.  <he runs a hand through his hair>
[21:13] arynwyn: Ath: <keeps her head bowed and doesn't look at him> Yes, my uncle did too. Are you drunk?
[21:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I've....been drinking for a few hours.  How are you?  Are you...? I mean, you're not still...in pain, are you?
[21:16] arynwyn: Ath: <avoids the question> Why did you come? Why did you come drunk? You offer me no comfort drunk. 
[21:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <sighs> Great.  No good to you sober or drunk.  So what do I have to do?  The whole point of this was to be able to have you with me, but if all I do is cause you to be...uncomfortable...<hangs his head>
[21:19] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> What do you mean you're no good to me sober? <she steps over to him and pushes her way into his arms, burying her face in his robe, her tears falling again> 
[21:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <seems surprised she'd want to him to hold her, but does so in some relief.  He kisses the top of her head> I...I hurt you.  And I couldn't make it better.
[21:23] arynwyn: Ath: <sniffing> It had to be done. <she clings to him, still crying> Better this than marrying Lord Greysun.
[21:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: You sure of that? <stroking her hair> I mean...oh I don't even know what I mean.  I can't decide which is worse.
[21:27] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls away from him, looking up at him with shining eyes, incredulous> You can't decide which is worse? ...hurting me one day or living forever without me? <her face shows how much this hurt her and a tear slides down her cheek> Then maybe this was a mistake. But it's too late now. <she turns away from him, to the door>
[21:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Athame...<grabs her arm quickly then drops it, looking guilty>...I don't want you to be with anyone but me, but...I can't stand that I hurt you either.  You weren't enjoying any part of that, and I can't help thinking that if I don't make you happy, then I don't deserve you.
[21:33] arynwyn: Ath: The pain will pass. <her head still down> You do make me happy. If you hadn't done this for me, then I would have been immeasurably unhappy, but you saved me from that. <she sighs and rubs her temples> It had to happen sometime. We couldn't go through our whole married lives without sex, so the pain was inevitable.
[21:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: But...you never...I couldn't make the pain go away at all.  I thought it would hurt for a bit and then you'd start to feel better, feel the same...pleasure I felt, but you didn't.  And so it became what it was: my enjoying myself at your expense.  <heavy sigh>  To my mind....that... <he can't finish that sentence>
[21:38] arynwyn: Ath: Let it go, Lyranon, for Light's sake... I'm sure next time I will enjoy it. And we have other problems to deal with. <she sits down on the stoop and sighs>
[21:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I can't.  I can't just let go of the fact that I....<sighs and sits on the grass near the stoop> Yes, we do have other problems.  I...I hope to have found a solution to one, but...there's no guarantee.
[21:41] arynwyn: Ath: Which problem? And what solution?
[21:41] arynwyn: (( I really  need more sleep... ))
[21:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Easy fix. :) ))
[21:41] arynwyn: (( sorry. I'll be back later. <huggles> ))

[02:13] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> That's something at least... <she looks over at him for a long moment and her eyes tear up again> ...hold me?

[02:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh and no worries about the song; I just like giving you music for your compy. ^_^ ))
 
 Lyr: ((damnit almost typed Mya again.  Stupid "y" names)) Glad to. <he gets up, sits next to her on the stoop and wraps his arms around her, sighing> When I was on my way over, I was half-convinced you wouldn't want me to touch you.
[02:17] arynwyn: Ath: <snuggles into his arms> Why would you ever think such a thing? I love you. <she leans against him, her head resting on his shoulder>
[02:17] arynwyn: (( <LOL> sweeet comic ))
[02:18] arynwyn: (( And I love musics. send all you want :-D ))
[02:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So now I have ominous moos....though I haven't read that comic in eons.  >.> It got kind of...unwieldy and...well boring after awhile.  But Sluggy Freelance was the first webcomic I ever read.))
 
 Lyr: I love you too.  I really do.  I promise. <holding her tighter>
[02:19] arynwyn: (( cool ))
[02:19] arynwyn: Ath: <nods and sniffs, blinking back tears> I know you do. So, why did you get drunk?...
[02:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: ...I suddenly didn't like being in control of myself so much. <kisses the top of her head>  And I'm not falling down drunk.  Just...a little past tipsy.  Really. 
[02:21] arynwyn: Ath: <nods again> I wish I were too, to be honest... <she sighs>
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! One of my favorite pages of Girl Genius ever: (Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040510)http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040510 ))
[02:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: If...if there's anything I can do to help...I mean...I owe you anyway, for earlier.
[02:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'd help anyway, of course, but...
[02:24] arynwyn: Ath: <shrugs> There's not a lot that anyone can do. The wedding is in three days. Those three days will be miserable. At least after that we'll be together. <nuzzling his neck>
[02:24] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[02:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Is there anything you want to talk about then?  I mean...before we're man and wife and all that?
[02:26] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> I don't suppose so. What about you? <kissing his neck now>
[02:26] Chaos Angel Sox: (( Also: Best reaction shot ever (third panel): (Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040623)http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040623  
 I <3 Agatha & Gil...))
[02:27] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm just...afraid now.  Of...of being with you.  I know, you know, in my mind, that it won't always be like that for you, but...I can't help how I feel about it.  <kisses her hair again>  Other than that....I'm really looking forward to three days from now.
[02:30] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls away and looks up at him> It's not going to be like that again. I mean... never that bad again. <she smiles> I'm looking foward to trying again, on our wedding night. And I want you to be too. <she strokes his cheek>
[02:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles half-heartedly at her> At least we'll have more time then, hm?
[02:34] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, studying him, then sighs. she turns away from him and puts her chin in her hand, resting her elbow on her knee> We don't have to, if you don't want to. If you're still upset about all of it. We can wait.
[02:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((OH! I have to find the page with the line about the death ray....in the meantime... (Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040719)http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040719  
 And no, I have no idea what started me on this kick.... ))
 
 Lyr: I'm more worried about what you want, Athame.  That's what this is all about.  I want to be sure you're happy.
[02:35] arynwyn: Ath: Once we're married, I'll be happy. And yes, I'd like to try again. But not if it's going to upset you like this again....
[02:35] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[02:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I've got three days to try and get over it.  I can't guarantee anything but...<he sighs and looks into her eyes> Just believe that it's all because I love you so much, hm? <and kisses her very gently>
[02:38] arynwyn:  Ath: <closes her eyes and kisses him back deeply but with equal tenderness. when she pulls away she snuggls back into his arms and nuzzles his neck again>
[02:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm just beyond relieved that you don't hate me or something.  I've been having waking nightmares about it.
[02:41] arynwyn: Ath: <says with a soft smile> You're so silly, Lyranon. I could never hate you. And like I said, all of it was my idea. You didn't force me to do anything. 
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: (Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051028)http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051028 ((Found it!! :D ))
 
 Lyr: <sighs> I should probably get back.  Before we get in even more trouble, hm? <kiss>
[02:42] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and nods, returning the kiss> Try and get some sleep. 
[02:43] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[02:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'll try.  You do the same. <he stands and helps her to her feet> 
 
 ((Lars is, in fact, the second man to give her a ring at this point...and the 2nd of 3 to fall in love with her....not counting the various people she can Command at will... >.> Okay I'll stop with the comic-ness now, really.))
[02:44] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[02:45] arynwyn: Ath: <stands up and pulls him in for a tight hug> Dream of me?
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Count on it. <gives her a kiss that he'd intended to be quick, but changes his mind halfway through, holding her tenderly and kissing her lingeringly>
[02:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay for adverbs!))
[02:47] arynwyn: Ath: <she returns the kiss with a gentle passion, finally pulling away with a small smile. her eyes glisten with tears again> When will I see you again? <holding onto his hand tightly>

[02:49] arynwyn: (( sweeeeeet O_o ))
[02:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: We can go back to our lunches, if you like?  I'm skipping training tomorrow to talk to my friend.  I have 3 days left to figure a way out of my personal mess.
[02:51] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Lunch it is. <she squeezes his hand, then releases it, stepping back toward her door> I'll see you tomorrow then. <small smile>
[02:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he nods and watches her re-enter the house, still feeling uneasy, but a little better>
[02:53] arynwyn: Ath: <closes the door behind her softly and sneaks back up to her room, a new headache coming over her>
[02:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww.  <gives Ath Advil>))
[02:53] arynwyn: (( Ath: Many thanks. <takes it> ))
[02:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm up to 350 grains of rice!! :D Yay for Latin & Greek roots to help me figure out words >.> 
 So now what?))
[02:56] arynwyn: (( sweet! I'm using dictionary.com <giggle> and I'm up to 130 grains. 
 
 uhm... not sure. >.> ))
[02:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> 
 Well lessee....I've got the rudiments of the Sasuke plot worked out....I kind of want Ari to catch Lore looking at rings, but I don't know how that'd be possible...I guess she could leave Killian or Ash or someone to watch the shop....ummm.....we can skip to the solution I thought of for Lyr's problem.....those are the only things I can think of, unless you've worked out Damien's evil?))
[02:59] arynwyn: (( I have sort of a plan... and it needs to be done when Rav is gone, so... It's not much though. Just one kind of little thing, and there's not a lot of RP involved.... ))
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((write it? :3 ))
[02:59] arynwyn: (( LJ or here? ))
[02:59] arynwyn: (( We could RP the actual event, since you have Cyla there... __
[02:59] arynwyn: *))
[03:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ooo.  :) Whichever makes you happiest :) ))
[03:00] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Mkay. ))
[03:00] arynwyn: <it's late at night, say two or three in the morning. Ren and the kids are asleep, as is Bren> 
 
 (( uhm, go ahead and put what Cyla is doing. ))
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <is patrolling the hallway outside Ren's room in shadow form, as usual>
[03:04] arynwyn: <there is a strange sound, a quiet roar, coming from the floor below, and smoke begins to curl up the stairs toward the Cyla and the rooms. a faint flickering can be seen if you look over the bannister>
[03:05] arynwyn: (( 320 grains ))
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <turns to the sound and sees the smoke.  She runs for the rooms she knows are occupied.  She starts by waking up the children, pounding on the door and telling them to get up, then heads for Ren's room>
 
 ((700 ^_^ but I've been playing a bit longer than you have.  Vocab Level 43))
[03:07] arynwyn: (( I'm cheating so I have vocab level 50 :3 ))
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Cheeeeeeeater!))
[03:08] arynwyn: Ren: <wakes and rubs his eyes, then pulls on a room and steps over to the door> What's going on?
 Bren: <opens his door after hearing all the commotion> Cyla?
[03:08] arynwyn: (( =P ))
[03:08] arynwyn: (( I'm not worried about the vocab level, I just want to donate rice. :-)  ))
[03:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: Back stairs! Now! <grabs Bren and hauls him towards the stairs, and begins herding the children, picking Mina up and handing her to Ren> There's a fire.  Get out of here.  I'm going to see if I can find out what started it.  Go.
[03:11] arynwyn: Bren: <turns around and grabs Cyla> No. Take Ren and the children and get out of here. Now. <and before she can stop him he's off toward the main stairs, heading down to the kitchen>
 Mina: <starts crying and holding her arms out for Ren>
 Ren: <takes Mina in his arms> Come on! Heath, Trent, let's get out of here. <heading to the back stairs>
[03:13] arynwyn: (( oops, missed the "handing [Mina] to Ren" part. sorry ))
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: Brennan!  <she looks between the man she's supposed to be guarding and the man she loves.  Sighing, she goes with Ren and the children as it occurs to her that this might be a way to get him and the kids outside alone and thus unprotected. She hurries them along; the sooner she feels they're okay, the sooner she can go back for Brennan>
[03:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woo! 1000!))
[03:18] arynwyn: Ren: <carries the Mina out, with Heath and Trent close behind, and takes them a safe distance, under a tall will tree. he looks back at the house, which has quickly gone up in flames. he shakes his head, watching windows break and flames shooting out, smoke billowing up into the dark sky>
 
 Bren: <comes stumbling out of the front door, some of his clothes on fire. he quickly drops to the ground and rolls around until the flames are gone, then pulls himself up, jogging out to the tree where the others are. his left arm is burned badly, and he keeps it close to his body>
[03:18] arynwyn: (( congrats! ))
[03:18] arynwyn: *willow
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ha! Got a word I'd already gotten. :) ))
 
 Cyla: <about to go back in for Brennan, she runs to him as he comes towards the tree and hugs him carefully> What were you thinking, you idiot? <she says softly>
[03:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Scourge means:    
 Hey wait! Undead menace isn't on here!))
[03:20] arynwyn: Bren: <holding him to her with his one good arm> That I could let you go into that inferno. Come on. <taking her further away from the house, to the tree, before turning to look at the house go up in flames>
[03:20] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[03:21] Chaos Angel Sox: [I'm going to assume the servants are coming out safely as well....?]
 Cyla: Oh light....I'm so sorry, Lord. <she says to Ren> I should've been able to stop this...
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Aventurine means:   [word] [word] sunstone  
 Me: Ding! <giggles> If we hadn't done that plotline, I'd never know this....))
[03:23] arynwyn: <yes, most of the servants are coming out safely, in pajamas, and gathering in back of the house>
 Ren: <hugging his children tightly> At least none of us were hurt. <but still, he sighs as he looks at his house burn, pain in his face>
[03:23] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I can build you a new house, Ren!  Let me just start up Sims....))
 
 Cyla: ...you need more of a security detail than one lone, half-trained Shadow Priestess can provide.  Whether this was deliberate or an accident, doesn't matter.  Someone would've seen it.
[03:26] arynwyn: Bren: ...it wasn't an accident. <shakes his head> No accidental fire burns that fast or hot.
 Ren: ... ... ... <hugging children still>
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <sighs> The fact remains, I'm not good enough protection.  At least, not on my own.  
[03:28] arynwyn: Ren: <sighs> I don't know what to do. Perhaps taking this Chief Warlock position was a mistake. <he stands back up and lifts Mina into his arms> Come on. Let's get to an inn. I need to write to Suravi.
[03:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Cyla: <nods> Yes, Lord.
[03:30] arynwyn: Ren: <starts off down the road toward town, the children close behind him>
 Bren: <keeps Cyla close, following>
 
 (( And that's all I have. >.< ))
[03:30] Chaos Angel Sox: (( awwww house burn down ;__; ))
[03:30] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[03:32] arynwyn: (( we could do Rav getting the letter? and Mai's baby, too, if you want? ))
[03:32] Chaos Angel Sox: When I hit 2000, I'm going to go get more Count Chocula...or maybe start the oven going for frozen pizza....
 
 Oooo we can do those :)  ((or, as I kept trying to type: dot hose))
[03:32] arynwyn: mkay. <giggle> 
[03:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Woot! 2000! xD 
[03:34] Chaos Angel Sox: this is the best idea ever :3
[03:36] arynwyn: <a week later, Rav is given a letter that reads: Dearest Suravi, Please sit down before reading this letter. There have been some unfortunate recent events. I'm not exactly sure how to word this, so I will just write it. Our house was burned down. Brennan believes it was purposeful, and I tend to agree with him. We are staying with my sister for now, until I can find a suitable place to purchase. I hope you and your sister are well. All my love, Thandren]
[03:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((had to chop my pizza in half.  not easy when it's frozen >.> but I don't want to waste any))
 
 Rav: <falls into a chair> Oh light...
 Verona: Bad news, Lady Rav?  ((she's been there long enough that she insists everyone use her nickname; Verona's respectful enough to insist on tacking her title in front of it))
 Rav: <she nods and rises> I have to...talk to my sister.  Excuse me.
 Verona: <nods> Of course.
 Rav: <runs up - well, not "runs": she walks quickly - to Mai's room and knocks on the door>
 
[03:46] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. >.< ))
[03:47] arynwyn: Mai: <has dozed off while she was reading and she starts awake> Mm? <blinkblink> Oh, come in.
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <comes in and shuts the door behind her, obviously distraught> Mai...<goes and sits on the bed and just hugs her sis without warning>
[03:49] arynwyn: Mai: <sets her book aside and, looking concerned, she hugs her sister back as best as she can with her huge belly> What's wrong, Suravi? <pats her sister's back>
[03:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: The house....<sniffle> the house was burned down.  Deliberately.  Everyone got out okay, I'm sure, or else Ren would've mentioned it, but...<leaking tears, but not really crying>
[03:51] arynwyn: Mai;
[03:51] arynwyn: (( Grr ))
[03:52] arynwyn: Mai: Oh... oh Suravi... <hugging  her sister again> I'm so sorry, Rav. <sighs and pats Rav's back some more, not knowing what to say>
[03:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((seine means:
 Me: Umm....it's a river in Paris?))
 
 Rav: It seems like Ren's always the target of someone's wicked schemes.  <she sighs>  It's...so wearying, having to always be paranoid, to be so careful....I miss Ren and the children terribly, but being here has been so restful for me up til now.
[03:54] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Sure is. ))
[03:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((apparently it means fishing net....the French named their river after a net? >.>))
[03:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((ambuscade (waylay)...good word....ambuscade.  fun to say too.))
[03:56] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs> Suravi, are you happy being married to him?... <pulling away to look her in the eyes>
[03:56] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((picaroon = pirate!  :D Yay for more piratical words!!! brb - pizza checkin' time))
[03:57] arynwyn: (( Sweeet! :-D ))
[03:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not ready yet - didn't really think it would be, but I really really don't want it to burn ^_^ ))
 
 Rav: Of course I am!  I love him.  I love being with him, and with the children.  They're my life's joy, Mai, but...I just want everyone to stop trying to hurt my family.  I'm so very tired.
[03:59] arynwyn: (( I'm the same. >.< ))
[03:59] arynwyn: Mai: <nods and hugs her again> Why does everyone want to hurt him?
[04:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Because he's powerful and rich.  <she sighs>  More powerful now that he's the Chief Warlock of Silvermoon....
[04:01] arynwyn: Mai: Maybe he should resign... <chews on her bottom lip> I... I don't really know what to say, Rav. Except that I'm really sorry.
[04:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay frozen pizza!))
 
 Rav: <sniff> ...anyway...<scrubbing at her cheeks> How's the baby today?
 
 ((Oh, they probably know by now unless they changed their minds on finding out: boy or girl?))
[04:05] arynwyn: (( girl ))
[04:07] arynwyn: Mai: <gives a small smile, still looking concerned, and puts a hand on her belly> She's fine. Been kicking a lot today, though. Just stopped about half an hour ago, I think. That's when I dozed off.
[04:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Have you two decided on a name yet or is Malseir still saying he wants to name her after you? <she chuckles dryly>
 
 ((Mal says "That way I can call for "Mairen" and they'll both come! It's wonderful!"))
[04:10] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> He still does, but I won't let him. We haven't decided anything yet.
[04:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal: Further, men do it all the time, naming their kids after themselves - why not the women?))
 
 Rav: As long as I interrupted your nap...<casts the diagnosis spell>...might as well make it worthwhile.
 
 ((anything wrong/weird with the baby other than being born without magic addiction but that much more susceptible to it?))
[04:14] arynwyn: (( nope, healthy )) 
 
 Mai: <closes her eyes, her hand still on her belly>
[04:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: Healthy and strong.  Have you...thought about where you're going to raise her?
[04:17] arynwyn: Mai: Mal has a place. (( Right? )) In Eversong. I'd love to stay here, but Mal wants to go back home. <small smile>
[04:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He does have a place in Eversong.  But he's....well....))
 
 Rav: Just another thing to talk about, hm? <she takes one of Mai's hands in both of hers> These are the things'll that bring you closer together as a couple.  
 Mal: I hope so, 'cause we always seem to have lots to talk about <he says from the doorway, carrying a box.  He does his tip o' the imaginary hat to Rav who nods at him> How're my girls?
 Rav: They're both fine....and they need separate names.
 Mal: Feh.  Can't think of a prettier name than "Mairen."
[04:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Woo! 3000.  I didn't even realize I was getting close))
[04:22] arynwyn: (( sweet! :-D ))
[04:23] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles over at Mal> Hey you! Come here and give us a kiss. And we do need to talk about where we're going to live and what we're going to name her. 'Cause I don't want to name her Mairen. <sticks her tongue out at him, then turns to Rav> I'm sorry about your house, sis. And thanks for the check-up. <she hugs her again>
[04:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he comes as ordered happily and bends to kiss her quickly, then blinks at Rav> Your house?
 Rav: It...burned down.  But everyone's okay.  <she stands>
 Mal: Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the house, but at least everybody made it out.
 Rav: Thank you.  I'll leave you two to talk. <she smiles at them both and ducks out, shutting the door behind her>
 Mal: <sits on the bed next to Mai and hands her the box, wrapped in brown shipping paper> Hey, look what came in today's mail run. <smiles>
 
 ((It's a box of various baby clothes and toys.))
[04:28] arynwyn: Mai: <unties the string and rips off the paper> Ooh! Baby stuff! <she oohs and ahs over everything, commenting on how cute it all is> Where did you get this stuff? <kisses him quickly>
[04:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I wrote to some of the houses I used to trade with, just giving them an update, you know?  I didn't ask for this stuff, but when one of the houses replied, they said they had some nice hand-me-downs they were sending.  <he smiles> And it's not charity - I'll repay them for it, in my usual way.  I think between this and the blankets they're making for you and the baby here, we'll have a good start, at least, hm?
[04:34] arynwyn: Mai ((yeesh, keep putting Ath >.<-)): That's so nice of them! <she puts everything back into the box and lays back, smiling> So, what are we going to name her? Anwyn? Rose? We don't have much time. I expect she'll be here within a week. <happy sigh>
[04:34] arynwyn: *>.< ))
[04:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, we'll come back to that.  I really wanted to talk with you about where we'll live.  <he keeps trying to keep a grin off his face and keeps failing>
[04:36] arynwyn: Mai: Oh, alright. Well, you have a place in Eversong, don't you? I just kind of assumed we'd be living there... <rubbing her belly and giggling as the baby kicks>
[04:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Yeah, I know, but that's 'cause I've been trying to keep this a secret.  And then I realized I didn't really have a plan for when I was going to tell you, and I hate keeping secrets like this anyway.
[04:39] arynwyn: Mai: <this gets her full attention> Secret? What secret? <she frowns>
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I...well it isn't done yet, but...I'm working on...a house.  It's not too far from here, about halfway between here and the Ashenvale border.  I've got a couple of the other guys here helping me with it.  <he breaks into a big grin> And...it's not the pretty house...which I guess is a good thing, since it burned down, but the point is that it's not fancy, it's not big.  But it'll have room enough for us and...whatever we name her.  And we'll be nearby, but still have our own place.  How does that sound?
[04:45] arynwyn: Mai: <gasps happily> We're not going back to Eversong? <she hugs him tightly> Mal! This is incredible! Oh! When can I see it? When will it be finished? <smiling blissfully>
[04:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <he laughs> Well, you can see it when you and the newest fairy princess are mobile.  It'll still take a couple months to finish, assuming the guys and I go out there every day to work on it.  We've been out there most days.  
 But...I didn't want you to be around all that bloodthistle, and we both like it here so much.  I was writing the houses I trade with to let them know that I was relocating, but I'll still trade with them through mail.  It'll take longer, but they still get what they need, and I'll still get stuff from them that I need.  I have a fair idea of what each house is good at acquiring.  Oh, and I didn't write your sister's house, but then she's right here.  <smile>  
[04:49] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs him again> This is so amazing! I was so worried about going back to Eversong... really worried. <she takes his hand and looks up into his eyes> Are you sure you don't mind relocating? 
[04:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I don't mind at all.  I really don't.  Eversong is nice, but...I like it here too.  And you prefer it here, so that makes this the best place in the world.  Besides, we'll have no shortage of babysitters if we need them...<nuzzles her neck just under her chin>
[04:53] arynwyn: Mai: <happy> Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you! <tight hug>
 
 (( aww! <3 baby time? ))
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure :) ))
 
 Mal: <he laughs> You are very welcome, princess.  Though I guess you're the fairy queen now, and she's going to be the princess.  <resting his hand lightly on her stomach>  She been behaving today?
[04:57] arynwyn: (( afk a few, Tim needs some contentifying before bed <giggle ))
[04:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> :D ))
[05:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Just sayin' here - is it bad I want to design their house in Sims?))
[05:17] arynwyn: (( No that's not bad!! ))
[05:17] arynwyn: (( mkay, so... where does everyone sleep? ))
[05:18] arynwyn: Mai: She's been kicking quite a bit, but good other than that. <sets her hand on top of his on her belly>
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You know where Mal sleeps in relation to Mai.  Rav's in the room next to Mal's (not sharing a fireplace - only two rooms do that).  Verona's at the other end of the hallway, and Gronen's room is about halfway between Verona's and Mai's - though he usually ends up sleeping outdoors (if the weather's good) or in the kitchens.  Anyone else you need to locate? ^_^ ))
[05:19] arynwyn: (( That's all, thanks! ))
[05:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Let me see if Amazon still has this awesome shirt....))
[05:19] arynwyn: (( Just needed to know who was within earshot. =P ))
[05:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Ah, okee.  so FF to night times then?))
[05:20] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> To a few days later. ))
[05:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nod nod okee. :) ))
[05:21] arynwyn: Mai: <wakes up at about 2 AM> Ohhh.... <she sits up, breathing hard, then calls out> ...Mal? ...Rav? Ohhh.... <gasping in pain>
[05:22] arynwyn: (( $10 says Shaggy from Scooby Doo is gay. <giggle> ))
[05:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((O_o))
 Mal: <wakes up> Mai, what's wrong? <from his room, though he sits up and is already pulling on pants>
[05:23] arynwyn: Mai: ...baby... coming. <gasp> Ohhh... <clutches at her stomach, grimacing in pain> 
[05:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <that gets him moving faster.  He runs out of his room, only wearing pants, and knocks on Rav's door to hurry her up> Baby's coming! <and then he runs into Mai's room.  He kneels next to the bed and takes one of her hands, petting her hair with his other hand>
 Rav: <comes into the doorway, still pulling her robe closed> I'll go get some hot water and towels.  ((I have no idea what these are used for, but they always get them in these situations....err...in movies and sitcoms >.> and Fullmetal Alchemist.))  Be right back.  <she runs downstairs>
[05:27] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:27] arynwyn: (( D'you want to do the actual birth or just skip to the "uhm, she's a Highborn" thing? ))
[05:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm....I vote for the skipping, unless there's something that happens before that point you want to do?))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( nope. so... Rav is doing the actual delivery? ))
[05:29] arynwyn: Mai: <panting from the effort and lightheaded, she lays back after hearing her baby's first cries, a smile on her face and tears of pain and joy streaming down her cheeks>
[05:31] arynwyn: (( Heh, they still don't have a name for her. >.< ))
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I would guess so.  
 Rav: >.> Oh Light....<starts praying>))
 
 Rav: <sighs in relief>
 Mal: <is looking at the baby when she starts crying> Ohh, look at her...
 Rav: Knife please, Malseir?
 Mal: Kni...oh the cord.  Right...I put it around here...somewhere...<finds it and offers it to her>
 Rav: <cuts the cord quickly and takes the towel Mal offers to her next.  She cleans the baby up> Blanket? <Mal hands her one, still watching his baby girl, and Rav wraps her up and stands, walking up to gently transfer the baby to Mairen's arms.  The baby's eyes are still closed and she's still crying, and Mal's obviously transfixed>
 Verona: <opens the door, pokes her head in (she -and quite a few other druids- have been just outside listening for the crying) and smiles> About time.  I'll have some fresh linens brought up.  Congratulations.
 Mal: Thank you...<distractedly>
 Verona: <shuts the door, letting them have their little moment>
[05:36] arynwyn: Mai: <continues crying, holding her baby and stroking her wispy hair> She's so... beautiful. <counting fingers and toes> And perfect. <leans down and kisses her forehead> 
[05:36] arynwyn: (( Oh, sorry; who's RPing the baby? ))
[05:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Your chara just gave birth to her.  I think she's yours ^_~ ))
 Rav: <smiles> And she still needs a name.
 Mal: Does this mean my vote for naming her "Fairy Princess" is overridden?
[05:38] arynwyn: (( <laugh> okies ))
[05:41] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and sniffs, then nods, not looking up> She needs a real name. (( Which, for the life of me, I can't come up with. What do you think? ))
 <the baby fusses but doesn't cry, grabbing hold of one of Mairen's fingers and squeezing it. she slowly opens her eyes and they are a startling blue> (( And I can't remember if new babies open their eyes right away or not, but this one does. >.> ))
[05:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((well of course she does, 'cause she's awesome...and...err...let me consult the fantasy name generator...))
 Mal: <blinks> Um...is-is that normal?
 Rav: Blue eyes? I...well, this is the first baby I've ever delivered, but Mai's eyes weren't blue when she was born....
[05:44] arynwyn: Mai: <runs a finger over the baby's brow and studies her> Suravi, you have blue eyes. But... you didn't used to, right? <looking up at her sister> 
[05:45] arynwyn: (( Is it 'used to' or 'use to'?  >.> ))
[05:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Cesona, Aleanni, Rhyanon, Loia, Derona, Esoru....? and it's used to))
 
 Rav: <nods> When I finally conquered my addiction, they became this way.
 Mal: So...she's not addicted? <he looks at Mai and then at their baby in awe>
 
 ((I keep forgetting to run this past you, but since it's come up again: I figure Mal's eyes tend towards a sort of blue-green because his addiction is still there, he just does a better job than most of fending it off.  They're greener when he's in Eversong and slightly bluer being around the druids, because of the level of his dedication to fighting it off.  But they're never BLUE blue.  And I figured Mai's eyes might be doing the same?))
[05:49] arynwyn: (( <nod> Sure. ))
[05:51] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles down at her baby, kissing her again, breathing a sigh of relief> I was... so worried she would be. I had nightmares of giving birth to a Wretched. But she's perfect, and she's not addicted. <looks up at Mal, smiling happily>
[05:51] arynwyn: (( I like Rhyanon, 'cept maybe spell it the traditional way, Rhiannon? ))
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Darn, Amazon doesn't have that same shirt anymore - but they have awesome stuff from the same company: Bay Studio.  One of the comfiest and nicest looking shirts I have.  It can be sort of quasi-dressy or just a lay around the house shirt, depending on what you wear it with.  And did I mention comfy?))
[05:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure. ^_^ ))
[05:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Your baby ^_~ ))
[05:53] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Nice. ))
[05:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Wow...I...
 Rav: Your daughter's a Highborn.  It's....it's incredible.
 Mal: <chuckles> See? She is a fairy princess. <he leans down to kiss the baby and then kiss Mai>
[05:54] arynwyn: Mai: <kisses him back gently, smiling, but looking very tired> It is incredible. Mal, we need to name her... 
 <the baby yawns and closes her eyes again, dozing off>
[05:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Well, what do you want to name her, Mai?  We've already seen how bad I am at this sort of thing.  <smiles, petting the newborn's hair>
 Rav: Oh!  I've got to get that crib up here the guys have been working on...<she smiles at her still unnamed niece and ducks out>
[05:57] arynwyn: Mai: <snuggling back into her pillows> What do you think of the name Rhiannon? It was... my mother's name. <tired smile>
[05:58] arynwyn: (( Heh, sorry I'm making up your char's history like that. >.< ))
 
[06:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Meh.  Never established her name.  it's fine. :) ))
 
 Mal: <he smiles> Sounds like a fairy princess name to me.  <he brushes some hair out of her face> You look like you're not going to wait for clean linens, sleeping beauty?
[06:01] arynwyn: Mai: <leans into his hand and kisses it> I'm doing my best to hold out, but Light... Talk about tired. <she looks back down at Rhi> She's so beautiful. 
 
 (( Curious as to Rav's reaction to the name then. :-D ))
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <continues stroking Mai's hair> Just like her mother. <kisses her temple>
 Rav: <comes back in, carrying a crib with Verona's help.  The crib's currently filled with multi-colored blankets, and a pile of clean linens for the bed> Here we go.  I'm sure you think you'll never let her go, but I promise you'll need this at some point.
 Verona: <kicks the door shut behind her as they position the crib near the fireplace (but not too near)> So is she "Fairy Princess Ashtaron"? ((Assuming Mai took Mal's last name? >.> ))  Or did we come up with a real person's name? <she grins> Everyone's dying to hear how she is and what her name is.
[06:05] arynwyn: (( Yes, she did, of course. ))
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((just checking ^_^ ))
[06:06] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> We decided to name her Rhiannon. <she looks over at Rav>
[06:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <blinks and then smiles softly> Mom would've loved that.
 Mal: "Fairy Princess" will be her middle name. <grins> Just kidding...
 Verona: <laughs then looks to Mai> You able to get up so you can sleep on clean sheets?
 Mal: I can always pick her up, if you two'll change them?
[06:10] Chaos Angel Sox: (( This can be your Xmas present to Timmeh - though I don't think he should wear it, obviously: (Link: http://www.amazon.com/Sexy-Plus-Black-Fishnet-Dress/dp/B000MP83B6/ref=sr_1_219/002-9305679-5270447?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1193652563&sr=1-219)http://www.amazon.com/(Link: http://www.amazon.com/Sexy-Plus-Black-Fishnet-Dress/dp/B000MP83B6/ref=sr_1_219/002-9305679-5270447?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1193652563&sr=1-219)Sexy-Plus-Black-Fishnet-Dress/dp/B000MP83B6/ref=sr_1_219/0(Link: http://www.amazon.com/Sexy-Plus-Black-Fishnet-Dress/dp/B000MP83B6/ref=sr_1_219/002-9305679-5270447?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1193652563&sr=1-219)02-9305679-5270447?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1193652563&sr=(Link: http://www.amazon.com/Sexy-Plus-Black-Fishnet-Dress/dp/B000MP83B6/ref=sr_1_219/002-9305679-5270447?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1193652563&sr=1-219)1-219 ))
[06:10] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> I think I can stand. Mal, will you hold her? <smiles up at him and holds her out> Careful to support her head... <she gives her to Mal, then drags herself out of the bed, standing unsteadily> Oof. Dizzy...
[06:10] arynwyn: (( <LOL> ))
[06:11] arynwyn: (( His motto on lingerie: Why buy it? You're not going to be wearing it very long. ))
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <holds Rhiannon carefully and kisses her forehead softly>
 Rav: We'll be quick, I promise.
 Verona: <is already stripping the dirty linens off the bed>
 
 ((<laugh> good point.))
[06:12] arynwyn: Mai: <steps over to the cradle and begins to make it comfortable for the baby> 
[06:13] arynwyn: (( Hm. <ponders making more muffins> I have half a sub left from supper, but I kind of want to save it for tomorrow... We did get milk tonight, so at least I can make pastaroni now. ))
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <starts putting the clean sheets on as soon as Verona's gotten the soiled ones out of the way>
 Mal: <enraptured with his daughter> I can't believe we did this...we made a life.  I mean...I knew that...but it's not the same as holding her, you know?
 Verona: <laughs> Oh dear.  You may not get to hold your own daughter again at this rate, Mairen.  He may not let her go.
[06:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You need to get more groceries at one time >.> ))
[06:15] arynwyn: (( We're going out of town for two weeks and we leave on Saturday. >.> ))
[06:16] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs softly and looks over at Mal in adoration> Better he love her like this than not love her at all. He could have abandoned me after he found out... <goes back to fixing the blankets in the cradle>
[06:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh.  Where you going? :D ))
[06:17] arynwyn: (( Home! Minnesota. He's got 2 weeks of leave before he gets deployed. Also, I'm going to ND to see my best friend. She has an orchestra concert she wants me to come to, so I'll be going up there for a couple of days. I hope to get my schooling straightened then. ))
[06:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <shoots her a look> I could never have done any such a thing.  No real man would even consider such a thing.
 Verona: Yes, yes, we know you have morals despite your impregnating an unmarried woman, Malseir.  You don't need to remind us.
 Mal: <sticks his tongue out at Verona> Keep it up and I'll name someone else as her godmother.
 Rav: <laughs as she finishes up the bed, with Verona's help> Yes, well you two can argue over that later.  Nice clean sheets, all ready for the new mother.
[06:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sounds like fun! :D So when will you be back? ;__; ))
[06:19] arynwyn: (( Uhm. Nov 18th or so. I'm sure I'll still be online some, but not a ton. =(  ))
[06:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> That's what I figured.  But it sounds like it'll be an awesome time for you! :D :D ))
[06:20] arynwyn: Mai: <steps over and kisses Mal, then kisses Rhiannon's forehead. she smiles and crawls into bed, yawning> 
[06:20] arynwyn: (( I hope so! ))
[06:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Should I put her in the crib then?...I have no idea how to do this...
 Verona: Yes, in the crib.  And you'll figure it out. 
 Rav: No one knows how to do it at first.  You'll be fine.  <pulling covers up over Mai and tucking her in>
[06:22] arynwyn: Mai: Mal, are you going back to bed? <smiles at Rav and hugs her tightly, whispering her thanks>
[06:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Verona: <ducks out with a smile>
 Rav: <double checks the crib>
 Mal: <still holding baby Rhiannon> I'll stay here if you want me to, my queen. <smiles and sits next to her on the bed, leaning down to kiss her carefully>
[06:26] arynwyn: Mai: <kisses him back> No, it's alright. I just... <shakes her head and smiles> Get some rest. Rhiannon will only sleep a few hours, at most. 
[06:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: I don't think I can sleep.  But if my queen and my princess need to, I understand.  I can gape over your collective beauty after I finish helping with the New Baby party I'm sure will be necessary to have tonight. Today...whatever.
[06:29] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles softly> Do I get some wine, finally? <stroking Rhi's hair> Mmm, I hope there's cake...
[06:29] arynwyn: (( so, are we doing more RP or are you going to bed? ))
[06:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm not tired enough to sleep yet. :) ))
 
 Mal: Cake, wine...drunk chocolate?  I know it's kind of warm, but maybe in the evening when it cools down?
[06:30] arynwyn: (( yay! <cough> I mean, okay. ))
[06:31] arynwyn: Mai: Drunk chocolate! Mmm! <smiling> Sounds perfect. <as her eyes drop shut> Just like my family. Perfect...
[06:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <brushes his lips against her forehead> Sleep, love of my life.  I'm going to tuck the princess in and try and convince the guys that I do not, in fact, need to drink myself into a stupor now that I'm a father. <grins> 
[06:32] arynwyn: Mai: <giggles softly and doesn't reply, drifting off to sleep>
[06:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Good night, my queen. <gently lowers Rhiannon into her crib/cradle (should really be a cradle I realize...) and tucks some blankets around her, leaning down to kiss her forehead gently too> and good night, my princess.  <stands and watches the baby for a bit, then goes to the door and turns back to watch Mai sleep for a little while before slipping out quietly>
[06:35] arynwyn: (( <3 <3 <3 ))
[06:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Why for <3-ing?))
[06:36] arynwyn: (( 'cause it's all so SWEET! ))
[06:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> it's true.))
[06:38] arynwyn: (( mkay, who now? just gotta wait for the oven to heat up then I can put the muffins in... ))
[06:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay for muffins!! Ummm.....who do you want to mess with? ))
[06:40] arynwyn: (( hm. well, how soon until Rav goes home? ))
[06:40] arynwyn: (( I've got some more evilness for Ren... ))
[06:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Rav'll stick around for the first couple of months, probably...which should be just enough time to get the house finished up...so she'll probably go back once they're settled in))
[06:42] arynwyn: (( Mkay. Hm... Eh, I dunno. Ren isn't my favorite person to RP but I have more evil for him if you want to do that. ))
[06:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well let's do someone you do like.))
[06:43] arynwyn: (( uhm... Charise & Jaes? <giggle> ))
[06:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> You always do like the Jaes-ness. ^_^ 
 Jaes: Ooh!  Does this mean I finally get to be married?  Pleeeease?))
[06:44] arynwyn: (( 'spose so... I don't have any drama for them though. >.> ))
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: <big eyes> I wanna be married....there doesn't have to be drama.  In fact, I'd far rather that there be no drama involved in my wedding.  Just a beautiful woman to have by my side forever and ever and ever....or until I get all corpsified and gross))
[06:46] arynwyn: (( <eyeroll> But that's no fun. Unless that beautiful woman is me... then I'm okay with no drama. <grin> ))
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: <glomps Charise>))
[06:47] arynwyn: (( <glare> Fine then! You anger the goddess, so you get drama at your wedding! <plots evil>
[06:47] arynwyn: ))
[06:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: ;__; ))
[06:48] arynwyn: (( So, what do we got, Jen? Anything for them? Or do you just wanna RP their beautiful, sweet, wonderful <gag> wedding? ))
[06:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Other than Jaes wondering exactly how to treat Charise on their wedding night, I got nothing.  Jaes still has to help Lyr find the loophole, but other than that....))
[06:49] arynwyn: (( Hm. Well, there's always the book, but even that's not much... ))
[06:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((the book?))
[06:51] arynwyn: (( Oh well. Let's just do Ath & Lyr. 
 Yeah, y'know. Charise is a writer, only she's too embarrassed and self-conscious to get it published. When she moves in, there's going to be a whole box of these little leatherbound books. Those are her novels that she writes in her free time. And they're actually good. So, unless Jaes is going to swipe the one she's been writing in, the one in her bedside table, I got nothing.... ))
[06:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((OH right that book.....and he'd already decided he was going to swipe it first chance he got... ^_^  But we can do Ath & Lyr))
[06:52] arynwyn: (( You pick. I'm up for either. Ath is one of my fav chars to RP, but I <3 Jaes. :-D ))
[06:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well Jaes'll be in the Ath & Lyr stuff anyway, so let's do that :D ))
[06:53] arynwyn: (( Okies. Start where? ))
[06:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm, lunch?  Not the day after we left off, but the day after that.  So there's 1.5 days until the wedding at this point.))
[06:54] arynwyn: (( Mkay. ))
[06:54] arynwyn: (( you wanna set the scene? I'm not sure where to have them meet. >.> ))
[06:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We can start at the end of lunch - and just anywhere there's food, I'd think.  But I'll scene-set :) ))
[06:55] arynwyn: (( thank yah! ))
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <reaches across the table and holds Ath's hand as they finish up eating> The salmon's good here; I'm going to have to remember to come back.  Thanks for suggesting this place.  <he kisses the back of her hand and smiles at her>
[06:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((or I'll just give Lyr dialogue.  >.>))
[06:57] arynwyn: (( that works too. <giggle> ))
[06:58] arynwyn: Ath: <gives him a small smile> Of course. 
 
 (( uhm, this is your baby so I'm going to let you work it. ))
[06:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take off.  I'm meeting my friend today to see what he's come up with as far as getting me out of taking over the family business.  Unless...well, you're welcome to come with if you have nothing better to do.
[07:00] arynwyn: Ath: <wipes her mouth and takes a drink of water> I'd like to come, actually. I will stay out of your way and keep quiet, I promise. <she doesn't smile as she stands and pulls on her cloak>
[07:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm not worried about that.  We're meeting at a bar we know, and it's not really a ladylike sort of place.  But I'd love to have you there.
[07:01] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I'll keep a low profile.
[07:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Just stay close to me so that if someone tries to grope you, I can deck him.  <smiles and grabs his cloak, but doesn't bother to put it on.  He leaves it draped over one arm as he slips the other around her waist and kisses her cheek>  And, any other time, I might be worried about introducing you to this friend, but he's safely [engaged/married/whatever] now.
[07:03] arynwyn: Ath: <faint smile> It wouldn't matter anyway.
[07:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I know you wouldn't leave me for him, but...well, men are just irrational that way.  <as he walks with her>  Just accept my insecurity and reassure me when I get that way, and you won't have any problems. <chuckle>
[07:07] arynwyn: Ath: <puts a hand on his holding her and looks up at him> Consider yourself reassured then. <soft smile> Because I love you.
[07:07] arynwyn: (( <waits impatiently for the muffins to cool> ))
[07:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Smell the ....muffiny goodness!))
 
 Lyr: <stops as they cross into Murder Row, and pulls her around to him to kiss her> ...I love you too.
 Jaes: In the middle of the street?  Honestly, you two...<says the voice from behind them>
 Lyr: <doesn't turn around> Don't act like you don't kiss your [fiancee/wife] every chance you get.  I know you, Jaes Doranar.
 Jaes: I keep telling you people change....
 Lyr: You don't change that much...<he says as he turns to Jaes and shakes his hand>
 Jaes: <laughs> Okay, true enough.  And this must be the lady you told me about? <he bows to Ath> Jaes Doranar, at your service, lady.
 
[07:12] arynwyn: Ath: <flushed, she gives a little bow in return> Aileth Duskblade, until tomorrow. Call me Athame, though, if you'd like. I hope I'm not intruding...
[07:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Not at all.  This concerns you as much as it does Lyr, in a way.  Shall we?
 Lyr: <nods and he and Jaes start walking towards a small, hole-in-the-wall bar> It's not the highest quality place, but they make the best mixed drinks and have the best bar snacks.
 Jaes: <laughs> It's true.  Best bar in the city, I swear.
 
 <The bar is dark, smoky, the sort of place for dark deeds done dirty that noir writers love to describe.  But there are lights over the booths, and Lyr steers them towards one of these>
[07:16] arynwyn: Ath: <keeps her head down and slips into the booth, next to the wall for safety>
[07:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <slides in next to her>
 Jaes: <takes a seat opposite them> We ordering anything or just getting straight to business?  I'll go place an order at the bar.
 Lyr: Water'll do fine.  Athame, want anything to drink?
[07:18] arynwyn: Ath: Just water, please. <looking at Lyr> If you want to get a drink, go ahead. Don't not drink because of me.
[07:19] arynwyn: (( <offers chocolate chip muffins> ))
[07:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I honestly only want water.  I'd order a drink if I wanted one. 
 Jaes: Be right back.  <goes to the bar and comes back with two glasses of water and a mug of beer.  He hands them their waters and sits down.  Taking a swig of beer, he pulls out a piece of paper with complicated looking legalese all over it> Okay, so there's good news and bad news in this...
 Lyr: Oh light, I'm worried already. <drinks deep from his water> Maybe I should've ordered something hard.
[07:21] arynwyn: Ath: <sips her water and plays with the condensation on the outside of the glass with a finger, watching Jaes and trying to read the paper upside down>
[07:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Bad news: No, you cannot get out of this.  He got PROS to write this thing, and it is tighter than...<he glances at Ath and revises his phrasing>...a snare drum.  
 Lyr: Okay, but you have good news in that? <notices Ath looking at the paper> That's the contract Father made me sign: the one that says once I'm married I have to stop being a priest and start learning the family business.
[07:25] arynwyn: Ath: <nods, frowning> I didn't realize there was a written contract. <she sighs and leans back against the booth> So, he can't get out of it, but...?
[07:26] arynwyn: (( <giggles @ Jaes> ))
[07:28] arynwyn: (( <droolfest> (Link: http://phantasmagoric_splendor.theplebocompany.com/images/Johnny%20Depp%20-%20Melt%20Trigger2.jpg)http://phantasmagoric_splendor.theplebocompany.com/images/Johnny%20Depp%20-%20Melt%20Trigger2.jpg&nbsp;-))
[07:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: But you don't wait until he's dead to inherit.  You get it all immediately once you're married.  There's a little condition that it has to be a consummated marriage, but I don't think that'll be a problem.  <shoots Lyr a "Will it?" look>
 Lyr: <blinks> You're saying that once I'm married...I can do whatever I want with the mines?  Including shut them down?
 Jaes: <nods> I wouldn't do that if I were you - that's your family's income right there.  But yes, they're yours.
 Lyr: But I don't want to learn how to....
 Jaes: Then DON'T.  Hire someone who knows more about mining than you do to run the things.  Hell, you'll be in charge!  Excuse my language <to Ath>.  Pass new rules on safety and working hours if you hate the way he runs things, but shutting them down is going to put you in the poorhouse.
[07:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mmmmmmmmmmm Johnny Depp...))
[07:29] arynwyn: (( mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ))
[07:29] arynwyn: Ath: <waves a hand> My sister has worse language than you. <turns to Lyr> That's easy enough, then. You won't have to give anything up.
[07:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Why would he even do this?
 Jaes: Well, if I had to guess?  He thinks you hate him.
 Lyr: What?!
 Jaes: Old practice: if your heir wants you dead, give him what he wants while you're still alive.
[07:32] arynwyn: Ath: <raises an eyebrow> Interesting. But <turning to Lyr again> I thought you said the contract keeps you from priest training? Or was that a misunderstanding?
[07:33] arynwyn: (( mmm... (Link: http://rollercoasteroflove.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/johnny_depp_40.jpg)http://rollercoasteroflove.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/johnny_depp_40.jpg&nbsp;-))
[07:34] arynwyn: (( okay, I'm done. :3 ))
[07:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I had thought that I would have to start learning the mining business, so I wouldn't have time for priest training.  That's what Father had always told me.  I mean...look at that. <pointing to the densely packed writing> Would you read all that?
 Jaes: That's what I'm here for. <grins>  And I'm sure that was his intention, but technically, according to the wording here, it's yours from the moment you get back from your honeymoon.  So you can do whatever you want.
 Lyr: Wow....umm....<runs a hand through his hair>
[07:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<droooooooooooooool>))
[07:36] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a drink of her water and offers Jaes a small smile before turning to Lyr> I assume you've paid him well for his time? <reaching into her cloak for her bag of gold>
[07:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I wouldn't let him do any such thing.  Friends help each other out.
 Lyr: I tried, really.  I honestly did....
[07:40] arynwyn: Ath: <takes out her bag of (25) gold and sets it in front of Jaes> You're [engaged/married]. Buy her something nice. We're not friends so you shouldn't have any problem accepting. <smile>
[07:41] arynwyn: (( eh, make it 50g. >.> ))
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <laughs> No, we're not friends, but you're soon to be married to my friend.  Therefore I still can't accept it.  And I've plenty of coin to keep my beloved in pretty little silken things for some time to come.  But I thank you for the offer.
 Lyr: <grins> "Pretty little silken things"?  What about buying her something to wear OVER them?
 Jaes: <looks mock horrified> Over?  Why would I want her to wear something OVER them?
[07:43] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs, but doesn't move to take the coin back. she turns to Lyr> I should be getting home. I have a few last minute wedding plans I need to deal with. 
[07:43] arynwyn: (( <giggles> <3 <3 <3 Jaes!! ))
[07:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
 Lyr: <nods> I'll whisk you away home then.
 Jaes: <pushes the bag back towards her> You can best repay me by making Lyr happy.
 Lyr: She already does that.
 Jaes: Actually, could I talk to your bride in private for a moment, Lyr?  I promise to take good care of her and keep my hands to myself.
 Lyr: <studies Jaes for a moment and then looks to Ath> If you're comfortable with it, it's okay with me.
[07:47] arynwyn: Ath: <raises her eyebrow at Jaes in curiosity, nodding> 
[07:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'll be right outside.  <he kisses Ath quickly and heads for the door>
 Jaes: <watches Lyr exit and then smiles at Ath> I should tell you that Lyr told me about your near-marriage to some other man and...how you two got out of that entanglement.  I haven't spoken a word to anyone, not even my lady love, about it, just as I swore to Lyr I wouldn't.  But, as you've likely noticed, the whole thing got him quite upset.
[07:49] arynwyn: Ath: <takes another drink of water and nods> Yes, I did notice that. 
[07:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Any decent man worries about his partner's pleasure.  Men are, honestly, rather easy to please.  To put it vulgarly, and I hope you'll forgive me, ((as I steal from Clerks)) insert somewhere close, preferably moist, thrust, repeat.  Women are so much more complicated than we crude beasts.  Aside from the fact he caused you pain, he feels like he failed you because you couldn't enjoy yourself.  And all the talking in the world won't do him any good on this point.  Failing as a lover is one of the worst things that could happen to a man.
[07:53] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns and stares down at the table> What was I supposed to do? I tried not to show my pain. <sighs heavily and leans back in the seat again>
[07:54] arynwyn: <and yes, she's scarlet>
[07:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I'm not faulting you.  I'm just explaining to you why it's such a big deal to him, why he can't let it go.  Talk to him about it until you're blue in the face, he won't let it go until he's proven to himself that you enjoy being with him.  Of course, given the particular circumstances, he's paranoid about trying again. <he sighs> So, if I might offer some suggestions....?
[07:57] arynwyn: Ath: <tries not to fidget and nods> Go ahead. 
[07:58] arynwyn: (( Ath: I hope this proves I love you, Lyr. I'm taking sex advice from a complete stranger, and a man at that. >.> ))
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Take the upper hand.  The more control you have, the more initiative you show in doing and saying what you want, the more relieved he'll be.  Well, you should always say what you want, regardless; he won't know otherwise.  Get on top of him, instead of the other way around: he won't worry about crushing you, it won't feel like he's pinning you to the ground, and it might even help with any residual...pain.  When you're in control, you set the pace, what's going on, everything.  So he knows that everything that's happening is because you want it so, not because he's "forcing" it on you.
 I promise, a couple of times of you doing this, and he'll feel better.  Oh, and don't EVER, EVER fake it.  Even if you're the best actress on this or any other continent, if he finds out, he'll be devastated.  So if it hurts again, tell him to stop and try something else.
 
 ((Lyr: You're taking sex advice from JAES.  If I had any doubts about your love for me, they would be gone now.))
[08:03] arynwyn: Ath: <long drink of water, very red face> Okay. I'll... do my best. <faint smile> Thank you. But now I insist you keep the money. <pushing the pouch back over to him>
[08:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <shakes his head and stands up> Lyr would...attempt to....kick my ass if I took your money, and besides, it's hardly necessary.  You're marrying a good friend of mine, and if ever a man needed to be married, it's Lyranon Sul'nova.
[08:05] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs and takes the pouch, tucking it back into her pocket, then stands up, pulling her cloak around her tightly> Again, thank you. <she bows>
[08:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: You're welcome, Lady.  <bows in return>  And if it makes you feel any better, I gave him some advice too.  You're the first relationship he's had, and only the...<stops to count> third woman he's had sex with.  The other two don't really count anyway. <he gestures towards the door with a half-bow, escorting her towards it>  So you're not alone in any...awkwardness you might feel.
[08:08] arynwyn: Ath: <steps out into the fresh air, wishing he hadn't told her that last little tidbit of being the third woman... she looks around for Lyr>
[08:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <steps up to her as they come out> Okay, where did he touch you and with which hand?  I need to know which one to break...
 Jaes: <laughs>
[08:10] arynwyn: Ath: <rolls her eyes, though she smiles> I need to get home. <turns back to Jaes> It was a pleasure to meet you. <she slips her hands in Lyr's>
[08:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <bows again to them both and shakes Lyr's hand as he offers it>
 Lyr: Thanks again. <leads Ath away and as soon as he's convinced they're out of earshot leans in and asks> So what was that about?
[08:12] arynwyn: Ath: Keeping you happy. <picks up the pace>
[08:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Oh light.  Just ignore him.  He always thinks he knows what's best...likes playing dad to the world, even though we're the same age, damnit.
[08:16] arynwyn: Ath: Actually he gave me some good advice. <shrugs a little> 
[08:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm afraid to ask....so just tell me, do I need to sock him in the mouth?
[08:18] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> No. Please don't. He's a very nice man. And he helped us a lot today. 
[08:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: It's true. <he stops outside her door> Have you further need of me, love of my life?
[08:21] arynwyn: Ath: <pulls him close> I do. But... <glances back at her front door, then back at him, smiling> I can't now. <she kisses him deeply> 
[08:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <returns the kiss, sliding his arms around her; he breaks away for all of a second before kissing her again>
 
 Mya: <opens the door, leaning in the doorway, watching the two of them and smirking>
[08:23] arynwyn: Ath: <presses against him for a moment until she hears the door open. she pulls away and turns to look at Mya> ...do you mind? <giving her a "go away" look>
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: No. <with a shrug and a grin>
 
 Lyr: <flushes slightly and clears his throat>
[08:26] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs, annoyed. she turns back to Lyr and kisses him again, but quickly> I suppose I'll see you tomorrow. <she smiles> Despite everything, I'm excited. 
[08:27] arynwyn: (( Ath: What the hell, Mya?! >.> ))
[08:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I hope so.  I am too.  
 
 ((Mya: You've obviously forgotten the annoyance that are little sisters.  It's high time you were reminded. <grins> Besides, he looks like he's a good kisser.  I'm taking notes to give to Dresden. ^_^ ))
[08:29] arynwyn: (( Ath: <eyeroll> ))
 
 Ath: <kisses him quickly again, then turns toward the door, glaring at Mya and saying quietly as she passes> ...thanks.
 
 (( Dres: What the hell? I need pointers? >.> ))
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Any time. <grins and follows her in>
 Lyr: <watches her go with a sigh>
 
 ((Mya: Never hurts to keep learning new techniques, darling.))
[08:30] arynwyn: (( Dres: ... ... ... ))
[08:31] arynwyn: (( Bedtime or more? :3 ))
[08:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: For instance....<whispers to Dresden a new technique she's just learned, and grins at him>))
 
 ((I've got about an hour and a half-ish.))
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((if you're sleepy, that's fine though ))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( Dres: <grin> Let's go try this out. ))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( I'm not. I slept all day. >.< ))
[08:32] arynwyn: (( So, an hour and a half until you have to go or have to sleep? ))
[08:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya: <chuckles> See? You should always keep learning...<giggle>
 
 Hour and a half until I'll likely be tired enough to catch a nap before I go to class.))
[08:33] arynwyn: (( mkay ))
[08:33] arynwyn: (( so... who now? ))
[08:33] arynwyn: (( you wanna do the book thing with Jaes & charise? 'cause I can't get enough of him. <giggle> ))
[08:33] arynwyn: (( plus, I have very little left on my list of things to do to our chars. >.> ))
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laughs> Sure thing.  ^_^ You like his advice, btw?  He told Lyr the proper way to use fingers and tongue on a lady's sensitive parts. xD Light knows he has enough practice by this time....))
[08:34] arynwyn: (( <nods and laughs> Sweeet... we could do wedding night, instead, if you'd prefer. <shrug> ))
[08:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: I PREFER!!  
 Me: <whap> No one cares what you prefer, boy.  Hush.
 Jaes: <whimpers at Sarah pleadingly>
 Me: <rolls her eyes> Oh that's right, go suck up to her just 'cause she thinks you're a sexy beast.
 Jaes: Damn straight!! <goes back to puppy dog eyes and pouting at Sarah>))
[08:37] arynwyn: (( Wait, who's wedding night? I meant Ath & Lyr. <drools at Jaes> But, well... if you want to do the book thing, we can do the wedding night for them too... I guess... <pounces Jaes>
[08:37] arynwyn: ))
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He hears "wedding night" and he just assumes it's his.
 Jaes: Isn't mine the most important? <sniffle>
 Me: ....not really.  Ath & Lyr actually have issues with theirs...))
[08:39] arynwyn: (( <giggles> I could always have Charise be all in pain too... ))
[08:39] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: o_O Um...no?  Please?))
[08:39] arynwyn: (( Heh, so what's so fun about your wedding night? ))
[08:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Jaes: I get to have sex with Charise finally.  That's not fun enough?
 Me: Fun for you, maybe...
 Jaes: ...definitely.
 Me: But what about us?))
[08:41] arynwyn: (( <nod> This is about US, dearest Jaes. Not you. So, methinks Jen should choose. =P ))
[08:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I vote for...
 Jaes: <gives me puppy dog eyes>
 Me: ....Ath & Lyr.
 Jaes: <pouts>
 Me: We'll get you your wedding night some other time, when you're not being such a whiny ass about it.  Go back to being smoooooth and maybe you'll get your way.))
[08:43] arynwyn: (( <nod> Smooth is hotter, Jaes. Ath & Lyr it is. ))
[08:43] arynwyn: (( So, starting with them just finishing the wedding and getting to wherever they're staying for their honeymoon or what? ))
[08:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah the wedding was likely pretty uneventful.  All pretty and expensive and proper etc.))
[08:45] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[08:45] arynwyn: (( Where are they honeymooning? ))
[08:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmmmm....Where does she want to honeymoon?))
[08:45] arynwyn: (( Hadn't thought about it. >.> ))
[08:46] arynwyn: (( Maybe there's a nice restort out in Eversong? <shrug> Doesn't really matter. )
[08:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yikes I'm having trouble remembering zones... xD ))
[08:47] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[08:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((let's just go with the resort in Eversong idea))
[08:48] arynwyn: (( And I meant resort, not restort. >.< ))
[08:48] arynwyn: (( okies. who starts? ))
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm...I'll make Lyr start.))
[08:49] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[08:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <opens the door to their suite in the resort, then picks Athame up and carries her in, kissing her temple as he kicks the door shut behind them.  
 There's a separate washroom, a king-size bed, and outside the curtained doors, there's a private manmade (elfmade, really) hot springs, surrounded by tall privacy fence.>
[08:51] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles softly as he picks her up, wrapping her arms around his neck. she looks around> This place is amazing. Oh look! There's champagne already here.
[08:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles> They think of everything here. <he sets her on the bed> Care for a glass, Lady Sul'nova? <smile>
[08:53] arynwyn: Ath: <lays back on the bed> Yes please. <she smiles happily> This is the most comfortable bed... <she slips off her shoes and removes her veil and gloves, folding them carefully and setting them aside>
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <loosens his tie as he heads for the champagne then decides Screw it and tugs it off, letting it fall to the ground.  He unbuttons the first couple of buttons in relief and starts working on getting the champagne open.  The cork flies out with a POP! and ricochets off the wall to fall next to the bed.  He laughs and starts pouring into the waiting flutes> Who knew honeymoons could be so dangerous?
[08:57] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles and slips off the bed, taking the glass as it's filled and sipping at it. she steps over to her bags, which were delivered before they arrived> I'm going to change... <she grins over at him and drags it toward the washroom>
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Okay. I'm just going to get off my feet.  Light, feels like I've been standing forever....<he tugs his tux jacket off and tosses it across the room heedless of where it lands, then sits on the edge of the bed, pulling his shoes and socks off in relief>
[09:01] arynwyn: Ath: <goes into the washroom and changes quickly, making sure to hang her dress up. she steps back into the room wearing a sexy, lacy white thing, champagne in hand. she flushes as she walks over to him>
[09:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <looks over as she comes out and then blinks, rising to his feet and looking her over> ... ...you look...wow.  <stunned smile; he tries not to think about what's coming up, or, at the very least, not to worry about it>
[09:04] arynwyn: Ath: <takes a drink of her champagne and then sets her glass down. she takes a deep breath, gathering courage, and steps over to him. she leans up and kisses him deeply, her hands working at the buttons on his shirt>
[09:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <kisses her back, sliding his hands over the silk - over every part of her that the silk covers.  Slowly of course.>
[09:08] arynwyn: Ath: <pushes his shirt off of him, running her hands over his chest, still kissing him. her hands fall down to the top of his pants and begin to work on getting them undone>
[09:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pulls away just enough to be able to say> You don't have to push yourself, you know.  We have all the time in the world now. <smiles and kisses her again>
[09:11] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles and kisses him, dropping his pants. she pushes him back and down, onto the bed>
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <blinks up at her as his back hits the bed, but doesn't protest.  He reaches up to her, pulling her down close to him, kissing her neck>
[09:14] arynwyn: Ath: <her breathing picks up and she straddles him, leaning down to kiss him again, then kiss his neck and shoulders and chest. her hands begin to push down on his ((<giggle>-)) undies>
[09:14] arynwyn: *((<giggles> ))
[09:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lyr: Oh light.  Do I have a "thinger" again too?
 Me: Would you rather not?
 Lyr: <pause to think about that> nevermind...))
 
 Lyr: You're sure this is okay?  <he rests his hands on her thighs and runs them up from there, sliding under the sexy lacy white thing ((Where did I get silk from? >.>))>
[09:17] arynwyn: Ath: <shivers a little and grins down at him> More than okay. <she bites her bottom lip as she looks at him> Remember that night my uncle called off our engagement, and I came to see you?
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he nods> Of course.  I remember everything from the moment I first saw you.  What about it?  Don't tell me sneaking out of your house in the middle of the night is a turn on? <soft teasing smile as his hand runs over her skin under the lace>
[09:20] arynwyn: Ath: <laughs and shivers more, leaning in to say quietly> The way you kissed me that night... that slow, intense kiss... that was heaven. <when she pulls away to look at him, she's flushed, but smiling>
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <smiles and runs a hand into her hair, around to the where her neck meets the back of her head and pulls her down gently to recreate the kiss for her, soft, slow and deep>
[09:23] arynwyn: Ath: <by the end of the kiss she's breathing hard and she feels lightheaded. she smiles down at him after she pulls away> ...now I'm ready. <she sits up, though still straddling him, and begins to take off the lacy thing she's wearing>
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((It's 30 degrees right now >.>))
 
 Lyr: <watches her, awe-struck, and leans up to kiss her slowly again as she gets it off, running his hands around her waist>
 
 ((Lyr: This is exercise...I think my torso's at a 45 degree angle to my legs...))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Brr! Bliss! <giggle> ))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Oh, is he not all the way on the bed? >.> ))
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He is, but he's leaning most of the way up from the bed))
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Brr. Hell.))
[09:27] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[09:27] arynwyn: (( Oh, I see. ))
[09:27] arynwyn: Ath: <returns the kiss and scoots back on his body, letting her weight push him inside of her>
[09:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <a surprised gasp turns into a groan.  He lets himself fall back to the bed, hands sliding to rest on her hips as he moans her name>
[09:30] arynwyn: Ath: <relieved that it doesn't hurt like last time, she sets a slow pace, leaning down to kiss him as she moves>
[09:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <matches her pace, careful to let her set it> You...amaze me...<he whispers ferverently in her ear>
[09:33] arynwyn: Ath: <kissing his neck, breating hard> ...why? I've done nothing amazing. <her pace naturally picks up and she feels herself slip away into the bliss>
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: not...true...<holding her, copying her pace and rhythm.  His hands slide over her skin and he kisses every part of her his lips come near>
[09:36] arynwyn: Ath: <she's too far gone to argue, her body tense and her breathing hard and irregular. after a few more moments, she cries out, her nails digging into the flesh of his shoulders>
[09:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <it doesn't take him long to reach his own climax at that point, his back arching a little off the bed, his hands gripping her hips.  He strokes her hair and her back and focuses on breathing again until he can say> ...everything...you do...amazes me.  <he punctuates this with a kiss on...whatever part of her is closest; he's too lazy to move at this moment>
[09:39] arynwyn: Ath: <collapses against him, then rolls off and onto her side, facing away from him. she curls up into a ball and closes her eyes, trying to get her breathing under control>
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <the worry that had been abating rears its head again.  He sits up and rubs her back> Athame...?  Are you okay?
[09:40] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> Mmh. 'm fine. <but she sniffs>
[09:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <frowns> Did I hurt you again?...was this too much too soon?...
[09:42] arynwyn: Ath: <shakes her head> No. It was... amazing. <she rolls over to face him, snuggling up against him. her eyes are glistening but she's not exactly crying>
[09:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <holds her, confused> Then...what's wrong?
[09:43] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles a little> I don't know. I just feel a little overwhelmed with emotion, I guess. <she nuzzles his neck> I'm alright. Don't worry. <kiss> I loved it. Did you? Did I... do okay?
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Okay? Light, that was...it was unbelievable.  I may have to pinch myself to see if I dreamed it. <kiss smooch nuzzle snuggle>
[09:45] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles softly> I'm glad. Are you over your fear now? I mean... over what happened before? <rests her head on his shoulder>
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Mostly.  You're sure it didn't hurt?
[09:46] arynwyn: Ath: It did a little at the beginning, but nothing like before. 
[09:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: I'm sorry....
[09:47] arynwyn: Ath: Please don't be. <she looks up at him> Please. I'll get on my knees and beg, naked, if I need to. 
[09:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: Don't do that.  I don't want that.  <looking at her in concern> I just...I love you.  I don't want to hurt you.  Not ever.
[09:49] arynwyn: Ath: <smiles> I love you too. And trust me, the pleasure outweighed the pain, easily. <leans up and kisses him again>
[09:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <holds her to him tightly as he kisses her back> I'm glad. <he whispers as he pulls away>  I promise, it'll just get better from here on out.  I swear it.
[09:52] arynwyn: Ath: <nods> I know. <grin> I'm ready to go again whenever you are. <running a hand down his stomach>
[09:55] arynwyn: (( <gives Jaes Viagra> You're gunna need this on your wedding night.
 Char: Rawr! <pounces Jaes> ))
[09:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he laughs, blocks her hand with his own, then mimics her movement>
 
 ((<laughs>
 Jaes: Promise? <huggles Charise tightly and nuzzles her cleavage playfully>))
[09:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I'm going to need to nap soon.))
[09:56] arynwyn: Ath: <giggles and nuzzles his neck>
 
 (( <nodnod> Yeppers. ))
[09:56] arynwyn: (( soon meaning now? =P ))
[09:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((5 minutes))
[09:56] arynwyn: (( Hehe, okies. ))
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <he pushes her gently onto her back and gently rubs between her legs (the way Jaes told him to), kissing her neck and shoulders> I need another few minutes, but that's no reason you can't enjoy yourself in the meantime...
 
 
 ((Jaes, these two owe their happy sex life to you.
 Jaes: I know, I know.  And I didn't even ask for any money for it...
 Lyr: Hey!  We'd've gotten there on our own!! ....eventually...))
[10:00] arynwyn: Ath: <gasps softly and moans, arching her back a little> ...wow.
 
 (( Ath: <to Lyr> Shush! <smiles sweetly at Jaes> Thank you. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. <deep bow> ))
[10:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Lyr: <pauses in his kissing to smile, then kisses her lips again> Your happiness is all I want.
 
 ((And now I think it's time to leave them their privacy...
 Lyr: I wasn't aware we had such a thing.  Always seems to be someone watching us... :P ))
[10:03] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Okies. <huggles Jen> Happy sleepings. See you later! ))
[10:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep.  back after close (12:30 EST).  I hope I get this job. <huggles> Happy sleepings to you too, Muffin Lady. ^_^ ))
[10:03] arynwyn: (( Good luck!! ))
[10:04] arynwyn: (( Muffin lady?! <giggle> )
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<chocolate covered Jaes-es for you> yeah you made muffins earlier!))
[10:04] arynwyn: mmmmm... wow. chocolate-covered Jaes. Don't tell Tim. >.>
[10:04] arynwyn: Good luck with the job. :-D
 
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: wasn't planning on it. ^_~ he's all yours....except for when he's with Charise.
 
 Thanks. <more hugses!>
[10:05] arynwyn: <huggles!> sleep well!

[00:24] arynwyn: send me a message when you get back from work. :-)
[02:22] arynwyn: Doing my best not to worry. >.>
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: oh, sorry.  I came home and went straight to sleep.
[03:01] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Cacking and pleaning. Er... packing and cleaning. Yeah, that's it.
[03:01] arynwyn: I kind of figured. <huggles> 
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles> sowwy.  I was pretty wiped.
[03:02] arynwyn: No worries. Feeling better now? :-)
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: well I've got some more sleep under my belt.  I got off work early too, because I was so sleepy; the boss called around and got Dustin to come in and let me go home.
[03:03] arynwyn: That was nice.
[03:03] arynwyn: are you still tired or are you up for some RPness?
[03:04] Chaos Angel Sox: yeah my boss is awesome. :)  How was the day of Sarah?
 
 I'm still a little tired, but that's 'cause I just got up I think.
[03:04] arynwyn: Eh, it was okay. Played Sims most of it. Just made some pasta so my tummy's happy at least.
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay!  
 Ooo foods.  I've had a couple tootsie rolls and a bacon spud today. >.>
[03:06] Chaos Angel Sox: omgigottheuitsjob! xD
[03:06] arynwyn: <laugh> 
[03:06] arynwyn: WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Congrats!
[03:06] arynwyn: When do you start?
[03:07] Chaos Angel Sox: My first week of work will begin on Sunday, Nov. 11th, but I'll have paid orientation on Fri & Sat before that. :D
[03:07] arynwyn: Awesome!
[03:07] arynwyn: I'm happy for you. ^^
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: thankee ^_^ 
 Murphy's being whiny.  Let me get him and me and some foods.
 
 Oh and I came up with something that's not really evil and barely drama for Mal & Mai.
[03:09] arynwyn: Sounds good. I have some possible drama for Mya & Dres that involves Keira, but I dunno if I wanna do it. Part of me thinks it's too much...
[03:09] arynwyn: Of course, that's the part of me that wants them to be happy. <cough>
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Share, share!
[03:15] arynwyn: Uhm. Mya's walking down the street and past an alley. As she walks by, she sees Keira & Dres. Keira kisses Dres... he doesn't exactly kiss back, but he doesn't push her away either, and then he takes off... I dunno. What do you think? 
[03:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Heh, you like Mya pissed off at Dres? xD
[03:16] arynwyn: <laugh> I like torturing Dres. =P 
[03:17] arynwyn: 'cause he's gunna flip out. >.>
[03:18] Chaos Angel Sox: at this point all I know is that Mya would be MAD .  She might try and kill Keira. ~_~
[03:18] arynwyn: <nod> I figured. But I don't think she'd get the job done... >.>
[03:19] Chaos Angel Sox: I doubt it.  Keira's too skilled.
[03:19] arynwyn: So I dunno. It was what I daydreamed last night before I fell asleep.
[03:19] arynwyn: Keira = lvl 50 pally. >.<
[03:20] Chaos Angel Sox: OUCH >_<
[03:20] arynwyn: Heh, yeah. 
[03:20] arynwyn: So, up to you. Let's do the Mai & Mal thing though. :-D
[03:21] arynwyn: The thing about my Dres drama is I don't know how to resolve it. >.>
[03:22] Chaos Angel Sox: the Mal & Mai thing, in my head, happens after they move into their place, but....I don't think that's necessary...
[03:22] arynwyn: <shrug> We can FF to after they've moved in.
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: it just gives them more privacy for the fighting >.>  (no, not Mal & Mai fighting....I don't think <.<)
[03:24] arynwyn: <laugh> uhm, okay. so, they've moved in then. you wanna start?
[03:24] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure.
[03:24] arynwyn: oh, Tim wants me to try a guitar hero song. gimme a min. :-D
[03:24] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure :)
[03:24] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm gonna set some scene anyway.
[03:24] arynwyn: yep!
[03:34] arynwyn: (( Mkay, back. ))
[03:37] Chaos Angel Sox: <The house that was built for them is in a sort of night elf style.  There are two bedrooms (Master and, for now, nursery), a small galley kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a fireplace - only one bathroom right now.  There's a low fence around most of the house that's done in the Tauren style, all stretched leather on posts (though you can actually see over it).  The house was stocked with some food staples and warm blankets when they got it, and had all the necessary furniture.  There're built in bookcases in the living room; they're mostly empty, except for the few books Mai and Mal had with them at the Sanctuary.
 
 At this point, they've probably been living there a couple of weeks, and it's nearly spring again (since she was pregnant in early spring, and it took another couple months to finish the house after that point).  Mal was able to conduct some business before the snows cut down on the number of animals around, and there are some furs for the beds, warm robes donated by the Sanctuary and some of the Houses back in Eversong, and of course, more supplies for the baby.  The druids helped get a good stock of firewood for the couple so Mal could focus on maintaining his business.  There's still snow on the ground, but the days are gradually warming, and the ice on the trees is starting to melt.
 
 On this particular day, Mal's just come back from hunting.  He has some small game, which he sets aside as soon as he returns, a big smile on his face for his Fairies.  He pulls his hat off (no more imaginary tips o' the hat - till the weather warms up at least), and goes over to Mairen and Rhiannon, giving them both happy smily kisses>
[03:40] arynwyn: Mai: <hugs him tightly, smiling happily> Hey you! <she kisses him quickly> I need you to bring in more firewood, if you don't mind. I need a bigger fire to cook dinner. 
 Rhi: <giggles up at Mal, grabbing his finger and batting her dark eyelashes at him>
[03:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Certainly, my queen. <kisses Mai's cheek, jaw and neck briefly, tickles Rhiannon a little, then goes to retrieve his hat.  He ducks outside with a grin and an actual hat tip and shuts the door quickly to keep the cold out.  After a few minutes outside though, suddenly Mal's voice can be heard through the walls.  It's not real clear what he's saying, but his voice is raised and his tone is sharp.>
[03:44] arynwyn: Mai: <had begun chopping vegetables when she hears Mal's voice. she wipes her hands on her apron and steps over to the door. she grabs a fur cloak and wraps up in it, then steps outside> ...Mal?
[03:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <is in a heated argument with an older blood elf man.  A carriage isn't far off, and a concerned looking older blood elf woman looks at the altercation in despair.  The older man has dark brown hair, and a graying moustache and goatee.  He looks very dignified in his reds and golds, and also rather annoyed.> You were spying on me?!  What the hell?!
 Older Man:  Not spying!  I'm not allowed to be concerned about you?  That's all they were for: to let me know if you were dead or alive, or on the verge of death.  That's all.  They didn't meddle, they didn't tell me your every move...though now I'm sort of wishing I had actually had you spied on!
 Mal: Great, how reassuring.  "I wanted to spy on you but I didn't actually."
[03:50] arynwyn: Mai: <steps over to Mal and puts a hand on her arm, looking concerned and confused. she says quietly to him> What's going on?
[03:54] arynwyn: *a hand on HIS arm
[03:55] arynwyn: (( Yeesh. >.< ))
[03:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <wraps a protective arm around Mairen>
 Older Man: <bows to her>  ((Crap, names...)) I'm Selom Ashtaron, Malseir's father.  That's his mother over...<he turns back to the carriage - and the woman's gone>
 Older Woman: <because she suddenly appears right next to Mai, beaming.  Her long hair, the same bark color as Mal's, is piled atop her head, and she's wearing a very modest but becoming red & gold dress and a fur cloak.  She takes one of Mai's hands in both of hers> I'm Noren Ashtaron.  <still smiling widely at Mai and Mal>
 Selom: <has this "I should've known" look on his face> You should at least invite us in, son.
 Mal: Stop calling me that.  I'm not your son.
 Noren: Oh of course you are, stop being foolish!  And I hear you have a grandchild for us, hm? <beam beam>
 Mal: And I don't want you <very clearly indicating his father> in my house.
[03:55] arynwyn: (( <LOL> Noren is the name of the dorm I lived in the past two years at UND. ))
[03:56] arynwyn: (( Named after someone, of course. ))
[03:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<Laugh>  It's alos the name for a Japanese room dividing curtain.  Well, really they hang in business doorways typically, but...))
[03:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Fantasy name generator suggested it and I was like..."Noren? Like the curtain? Eh...sure why not.  It sounds good."))
[03:58] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at the woman, then turns to Mal, giving him a Look, before glancing back at the two> Yes, please do come in. It's far too cold out here. I was just starting dinner too. Would you care to stay? <looking and smiling at Noren> And of course you just have to see Rhiannon. She needs to know the only <glare at Mal again> grandparents she has left. <begins leading Noren into the house>
[03:58] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I believe it was the woman's last name, though, at UND. She was a nurse. ))
[04:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <sighs and gives Selom a "You win this time, Gadget." look, then turns and follows Mai in without another word to his father>
 Selom: <follows as well, in quiet dignity>
 Noren: Oh, thank you dear, that'd be lovely!  <she shoots her husband a "You behave" look quickly then turns her beaming gaze back to Mai> Rhiannon!  Such a lovely name!  A girl then?  How wonderful!  Girls are such a joy to have, not like little boys who'll just drive you crazy, believe me.  <she laughs>
[04:02] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs and leads her over to the cradle where Rhi is cooing away happily> We named her after my mother. Mal wanted to name her after me, but that'd be silly. <grins over at Mal, then turns back to Rhi. she picks her up and hands her to Noren> Do you <to Noren and Selom> have any requests for supper? We eat a lot of stew here, but then, we don't get company often. <smile>
[04:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Oh, anything's fine.  Hello, little one.  Ohhhh, she's just gorgeous!  <holding Rhiannon and tickling her, grinning from ear to ear>  Yes, you are, little one, just gorgeous!  <insert cooing baby talk here>
 <Mal and his father eye each other like circling dogs.  Mal deliberately moves to stand by Mai, and away from his father, while Selom goes to look at the little girl.  What Noren seems to take in stride makes him stop and stare>
 Selom: Blue eyes?  She's...
 Mal: Our daughter.  <he says defensively>
 Noren: She's the cutest widdle thing I ever did see! 
 Selom: <ignores his wife's cooing> How is this even possible?
[04:09] arynwyn: Mai: <clears her throat> When I was pregnant, I drank a lot of moonwell water. We aren't for sure that's what caused her to be highborn, but... we consider it a blessing. <smile> Mal, will you bring in that firewood now? <pushing him toward the door. she says quietly once they're far enough away from Noren & Selom> Please try and enjoy their company. They're your family, Mal. What I wouldn't give to see my parents again... <she sighs>
[04:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Right, they're my family, who blamed my sister for her suicide instead of understanding.  They're the family who didn't want to hear about silly things like fighting magic addiction off entirely, just keeping it at bay enough not to be Wretched.  I'll just try not to talk to my father while they're here.  ...I'll go bring in the firewood.  <heads out>
 
 Noren: <holding Rhiannon up and cooing more>
 Selom: <watches his son talk to Mairen and then leave> Forgive us, but we haven't heard your name, miss.
[04:14] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs and watches him go, then turns to Selom, smiling though her eyes are sad> Forgive my manners... I'm Mairen. <she goes back over to the kitchen and begins working on the vegetables again, uncomfortable>
[04:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: And what's your family name, dear? <she carries Rhiannon over towards Mairen, smiling reassuringly>
 Mal: <brings in a bundle of firewood; he walks past Selom as if he didn't exist and sets the bundle down near the fireplace; he brings a few pieces over and throws them into the stove for her>
 Selom: <eyes Mal's actions and seems to be trying not to scoff.  He's looking around the house when he's not looking at his son, and he doesn't seem impressed>
[04:18] arynwyn: Mai: Truedawn. Though, of course, I took Ashtaron when we married. <thanks Mal and tosses the chopped vegetables into the pot> What meat did you bring home today, Mal? Or should I use the rabbit we already had?
[04:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Rabbit's just about all there is right now.  Use the rabbit I brought down yesterday; if it's not enough, I've got two more today.  <he kisses her cheek>
 Noren: <grins at her husband encouragingly then returns her attention to Mai> I'm sorry we missed the wedding.  Of course, no one told us.  <pouts in disappointed affection at her son>
 Selom: That's right.  Our son disappears from Eversong and never returns, and then we hear he's...<he stops as Noren gives him a VERY sharp Look.  He sits down in a chair and pulls a pipe out>
 Mal: NO. <he says as soon as he sees the pipe> You take that out of my house.  This Minute.
 Selom: I'm your father, boy.  You don't talk to me like that.
 Mal: Right now you're a guest in my home, Father <he almost sneers the word> so if I tell you to take your dirty habits out of my house, you'll godsdamn do it.
 Noren: <sighs in distress>
[04:26] arynwyn: Mai: <turning to Selom, biting her bottom lip> For the health of your grandchild, sir. <turning back to Noren, rather red> There wasn't a wedding. My sister wed us up at the Druid sanctuary. There were only a few people present. <she goes to the ice box and pulls out a hunk of rabbit meat and begins to tear it into strips>
[04:29] arynwyn: (( What was Selom about to say? <giggle> ))
[04:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <glares at Mal and puts the pipe away>
 Mal: <watches him as if he's going to try to smoke without being caught>
 Noren: Oh, the sanctuary!  We were on our way there when we saw your charming little house here.  We stopped to ask directions, at my insistence of course, and stumbled across the very two people we were looking for.  Three even! <petting Rhiannon's hair>
 Mal: I'll show you how to get there later.  We don't have the beds to put you up for the night, I'm afraid.  <yeah, he sounds SO disappointed by that...not.>
 
 ((The rest of that sentence, intended to be more a rebuke to Mal than anything else was "and then we hear he's shacked up in the Felwood with some girl he knocked up." >.> Thus Noren's cutting him off.  All she cares about is "My son got married and he has a baby!!  I'm a grandmother!!"))
[04:34] arynwyn: (( <nod> I figured that's what he was going to say. ))
 
 Mai: <smiles a little at Noren> Why were you headed to the Sanctuary? <she put the meat in the pot and puts it on the stove, then pulls out a loaf of bread to slice>
[04:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: To see you two, of course!  We didn't know where you were, but we'd thought maybe the druids would.  <she grins>  Oh! And we have....Selom, go get the gifts out of the carriage.  <makes a shooing motion at him with one hand, cradling the baby in the other>
 Selom: <rises without a word and heads outside>
 Mal: <watches him go as he addresses his mother.  His tone for her is less edged and biting, but still sort of distant> You didn't have to bring us gifts, Mother.  We're doing fine.
 Noren: Oh pish tosh.  I'm a grandmother now and grandmothers spoil their grandchildren.  It's the way of the world.  And we owe you two a wedding present anyway. <resumes cooing at Rhiannon>
[04:39] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles at Noren> That's very kind of you. <slicing bread>
 Rhi: <begins to fuss and cry, holding out her hands for Mal>
[04:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Ohhh, don't cry, little one.  <walks over to Mal and offers her to him>
 Mal: <takes her and holds her, patting her back gently> There, there, princess.  No crying now.  <he kisses her head softly>
 Noren: Ohhh, look at that. <smiles and her eyes well up a little> Just the sort of thing a mother dreams of. <slight sniffle of happiness>
 Selom: <walks back in with a footman and the driver in tow; they're carrying festively wrapped boxes galore.  Selom directs them to put them "over there damnit" and they pile the gifts up, tip their hats to the ladies and leave.
 Mal: <eyes the boxes as if, at any second, a bunch of snakes are going to pop out and attack them>
[04:47] arynwyn: Mai: <finishes slicing the bread, arranging it on a plate and setting it on the table. she sighs> Again, forgive my manners... It's been so long since I've been a hostess. Do either of you want anything to drink? <going to the cabinet and pulling out glasses> I think we have a bottle of wine, but that's the only thing alcoholic. At least that I know about. <she grins over at Mal for a brief instant>
 Rhi: <continues to fuss>
 Mai: <glances back at Rhi> She's probably tired. She just ate, so she can't be hungry.
[04:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<playing with databases>))
 
 Mal: C'mon, princess, nap time.
 Noren: <blows kisses at Rhi>
 Mal: <heads upstairs; he can barely be heard to say> Yeah, my family makes me tired too...
 Selom: <mutters, starts to pull out his pipe and then stops and puts it away again> I'm sure wine will be adequate.
 Noren: Lovely, thank you, dear.  And after dinner, I insist on you opening presents. <grins> I've been so looking forward to meeting you, dearie.  Anyone who could get my boy to settle down is some sort of miracle worker, I'm sure. 
 Selom: <mutters something to himself and goes to sit at the dinner table>
[04:52] arynwyn: Mai: <pours them each a glass of wine and sets them on the table> Things just kind of happened. I can't take any credit for anything. I don't regret any of it though. <she stirs the stew> He made me settle down as much as I did him.
[04:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <quietly rolls his eyes at the "Things just kind of happened" line> You're doing a remarkable job of putting up with him though.
 Noren: <sighs in distress again> And I'm so sorry about us just bursting in on you like this.  We'll write before our next visit.
 Selom: <arches an eyebrow at this "next visit" idea>
[04:57] arynwyn: Mai: <barely avoids glaring at Selom> I don't "put up" with him. I love him. We're very happy here, together. <smiles at Noren> And don't worry about the surprise visit. Does the Sanctuary know you're coming at least?
[05:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: No, I'm afraid not.  My husband got a wild hair and we just set out.  I'm glad I could talk him into letting me tag along.
 Selom: <looks as if he's regretting that decision>
 ((Murphy is eating a Tostito he found on the floor >.>  This cat eats anything, I swear...))
 Mal: <comes downstairs and goes to Mai's side> She fussed about being in the cradle at first, so I held her till she passed out.  I'll go check on her again after dinner. <he kisses her cheek>
[05:00] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I saw him lick up Italian seasoning off the floor when I spilled some making those breadsticks one time. >.>))
[05:01] arynwyn: Mai: <wraps an arm around him and nods> You spoil her rotten. <smiles up at him, then turns back to the stew> I think dinner's about ready. <she pulls out some bowls and begins to fill them> 
[05:01] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[05:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: She's my fairy princess.  She deserves spoiling.
 Selom: <rolls his eyes> "Fairy princess" indeed...
 Noren: <swats her husband's shoulder in what seems to be just a playful gesture> Oh stop that.  I think it's precious.
 Selom: <rubs his shoulder where she hit him; apparently she hits harder than it seems>
 Noren: <sits next to her husband and sips a little wine, smirking Juuust a little>
 Mal: <takes filled bowls over to the table; he sets one down in front of his mother first, and then all but drops the other bowl in front of his father before going back to see if Mai needs any other help>
[05:08] arynwyn: Mai: <hands him a bowl and takes her own over to the table, sitting down and wondering if they are going to do their usual blessing over the food with a prayer to the Greatmother. she glances at Mal, unsure what to do>
[05:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <takes his seat next to Mai, bows his head, and starts in on their usual prayer>
 Noren: <if she thinks it's odd, she's not saying anything.  She doesn't bow her head, but she keeps silent and waits for him to finish>
 Selom: <frowns, arching an eyebrow.  He moves to eat, but Noren smacks him in the arm warningly.  He sets his spoon back down and waits for Mal to finish>
 
[05:12] arynwyn: Mai: <bows her head and joins him in the prayers. she takes a long drink of wine when they're finished, not making eye contact with anyone. she keeps her head down as she eats, a silent continuation of the prayer going on in her head, asking for the Greatmother to help her through the night...>
[05:14] arynwyn: (( Bleh... I can up with a sweet name earlier but I can't remember it now. >.< ))
[05:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwww. :( Umm......chocolate? Chocolate's sweet :3 ))
 
 Selom: <starts eating finally>
 Noren: <takes a bite> Mm, thank you, dearie.  It's very good!
 Mal: <chuckles lightly> If I didn't have her around to share cooking duties, I'd be eating charred meat the rest of my life.  <he kisses Mai's cheek again, takes a piece of bread and digs in.  For the time being, at least, he is ignoring his father, though it helps that Selom is staying quiet>
[05:17] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[05:18] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes a little> It's just stew. You would be fine and you know it. <smiling over at Mal> You got along without me for how long? And I don't think your diet consisted of only charred meat. <she butters a piece of bread and bites into it>
[05:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Mostly.  There's a reason I traded for food at your sister's house. <grins and shoves more food in his mouth>
 Noren: What's your sister do?  I'm assuming she's a priestess, since you said she married you two? ((And she's probably headed back to Eversong by this point.))
 Selom: <eats without a word, as if he were enjoying a quiet meal alone>
[05:23] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> She's the head Priestess at the Temple. She came out to the Sanctuary when I wrote and told her I was pregnant. She's married to Thandren Amir'Tor ((almost forgot his last name. >.> )) . You might know him. He's currently the Chief Warlock of Silvermoon. <she says all of this very casually as she continues eating>
[05:24] arynwyn: (( these sour Dum Dums are AMAZING. ))
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
 Selom: <Okay, that got his attention; he's surprised at first, and then seems dismayed>
 Noren: Oh, how wonderful!  Any other family, dearie? <small talk, small talk, eat eat>
 Mal: <watches Selom, eyes narrowing slightly at his father's reaction, but he eats without a word, readying himself for the coming post-dinner screaming (a word I apparently can't type tonight) match>
[05:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh! And I got candy today in class!! :D ))
[05:28] arynwyn: (( Sweet! ))
[05:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((literally :D ))
[05:28] arynwyn: Mai: I have a sister in the Knighthood. Everyone else was killed in the attacks. <she glances at Selom and his curious expression, then goes back to staring at her plate>
[05:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that dear.  But at least you and your sisters survived, hm?  And the Knighthood! How marvelous!  How proud you must be of your family!!
 Mal: She might not tell you so, but Mairen's a very skilled mage.  I have to watch my step or she'll catch me on fire. <grins at her>
 Noren: <laughs> Just what any good woman should do!
 Selom: <the "mage" comment got his attention as well....>
 Mal: <...which Mal knew it would.  He's keeping an eye on his father's reactions out of the corner of his eye>
[05:33] arynwyn: Mai: <flushes> Yes, I was a promising student at the Spire. <clears her throat> But it wasn't meant to be. <she stops eating and pokes at the stew, breaking off a piece of the bread of toying with it>
[05:34] arynwyn: (( so, I'm confused... I thought NaNoWriMo was 1000 words a day. But the grand total is supposed to be 50000 words? >.> ))
[05:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((minimum 1000 words a day ^_^; ))
[05:34] arynwyn: (( ah, okay ))
[05:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((when I did it two years ago, sometimes I got 850 words a day and sometimes I got 2000. <shrugs>))
 
 Mal: <pats her hand> Now she's practically Queen of the Felwood.  At least, of this part of it.  They adore her at the Sanctuary....not as much as I do, of course. <smile>
 Noren: <laughs again> Precious.  Your queen and your princess, hm?  You always did like the fairy tales.
 Mal: And now I get to live one. <kissing Mai's cheek again>  Thanks to you. <smiling at his wife>
 Selom: <rolls his eyes again>
[05:39] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes and returns the kiss on the cheek> Yes, and Mal's the Knight in shining armor. <giggles softly and squeezes his hand, then drinks more wine>
[05:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Well I think it's all charming and precious.
 Selom: Thank you for the meal.  If you'll excuse me; I do enjoy a smoke after dinner, and since I'm not allowed to do so in here...<rising>
 Mal: <rises as well> I'd better go with you.  I won't let you smoke that...stuff...too near the house, and as tempting as it might be to have you attacked by wild animals...
 Noren: Malseir!
 Mal: ...Mother would never forgive me. <goes to get his hat and cloak, before Selom can get his>
[05:44] arynwyn: Mai: <sighs a little and watches them go, then begins to gather the dishes together to start on the dishes>
[05:45] arynwyn: (( ugh, I have the munchies. >.> ))
[05:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Foooooooooood...))
 
 Noren: <sighs> They're such children, even at Selom's age.  <she shakes her head and helps clear the table> I do apologize for my husband's behavior...especially since I doubt he will.
[05:48] arynwyn: Mai: <offers a small smile> It's alright. I just know that I would do anything to see my parents again, and Mal... well... <sighs again and shakes her head, then begins scrubbing dishes> Maybe someday they will reconcile. 
[05:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Perhaps...but I wouldn't hold your breath.  Mal gets a lot of his personality from me, but he does have his father's pig-headedness. <she sighs> They're probably arguing as we speak.  Selom just can't seem to see the joy of this situation at all.
[05:52] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> I can understand that, though, to an extent. Our union wasn't exactly... traditional. Most parents would be embarrassed by what happened. <she sighs> But it is what it is. And I don't regret any of it.
[05:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Selom is "most parents"; I'm not.  <finds a towel and starts drying dishes as Mai finishes washing them> He won't say so, but he wants Mal back in our family as much as I do, more even.  There's a certain thing about men and their sons... <shakes her head> But he can't just come out and ask him.  No, no, no.  And right now, well...he disapproves greatly.  Views all of this as "shocking" and "scandalous".  He's just a silly old man.  Don't you worry; I'll keep him in line for you, dearie. <grin>
[05:58] arynwyn: Mai: <chuckles lightly> I wish Mal would go back to you as well. But it's his decision. He's still in a lot of pain from what happened with his sister. <finishes up the dishes and begins to scrub the counter and the stove> I don't know how to help him move on or release his anger about it. 
[06:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <sighs> Not a day goes by I don't think of her, wonder what her life would've been like now if she were still with us.  But...<pats her hand> you just keep on doing whatever it is you're doing.  I've seen him a couple of times in the past few years, and he's never looked happier than he does when he's talking with you or holding the baby. <smiles> In the end, I just want him to be happy.  <she looks over at the pile of presents> Should we start opening gifts without them?  It's getting on, and we still have to see if the Sanctuary will let us stay there while we're visiting.
[06:03] arynwyn: Mai: <wipes her hands on a towel> Tell them you are visiting us and they will take you in happily. <smiles and looks to the door> We may as well. Who knows how long they'll be. Do you want another glass of wine or anything?
[06:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Oh no, I'm fine, dearie, but thank you.  <she goes over to the pile and sorts through until she finds a small box in blue paper - very small; jewelry box sized> Here's your wedding gift.  I wanted to be especially sure I was here when you unwrapped this one. <offers it to her>
[06:05] arynwyn: Mai: <sits down by the fireplace and takes the gift, pulling it open slowly> You really didn't need to... 
[06:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Pish tosh, of course I did.  <it's a pair of earrings: heart-shaped rubies shine out from gold settings> Every woman needs something sparkly. <she continues sorting through until she finds another small jewlery box> And this is for Rhiannon, when she's older.  It's not so sparkly, but then we didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, so I sort of hedged my bet with this.
[06:09] arynwyn: Mai: Oh, these are lovely! <she examines them in the firelight> I've never really had any jewelry... For Rhiannon? <blinks and takes the second box, pulling it open as well> 
[06:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <this is a simple oval silver locket on a simple silver chain.  Nothing fancy to it.  When opened the locket has room for two pictures: one side has a picture of Selom & Noren in it; the other is blank> So she remembers her grandparents.  If you still have a picture of your parents ((I bet Rav can hunt one down <cough>)), you can put it in the other side for her.  <smiles>
[06:13] arynwyn: Mai: Oh... This is wonderful! <she tucks it back in the box and stands to hug Noren> Thank you so much. I'm so glad we're finally meeting. And all these gifts... <smiles> Thank you.
[06:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <hugs her back> Ohh, you're welcome, dearie.  Most of the rest of the presents aren't as nice: baby clothes, baby toys, baby blankets.  <she laughs> Dishes, books, random stuff I thought you might need.  Some hand-me-down clothes for you.  I wasn't sure how much you had to wear out here.  Most of it's practical - well, as practical as clothing gets in the city. <she chuckles>  I doubt you've much need for evening gowns and party dresses, though I threw a couple in there anyway.  For romantic evenings by the fireplace, hm? <grin>
[06:19] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes and grins back> Thank you so much. We don't have much out here yet, so this is great. <she picks up another gift and opens it, examining the contents> This is wonderful. 
[06:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: Anything I can do to make you two more comfortable out here.  It's a quaint little place you have.  Cute, but...it's still lacking some personality.  Maybe I can squirrel you away to the city for some home decor shopping some day?  I don't want to just send you things: it should be you and my son's home, not mine.
[06:23] arynwyn: Mai: <laughs> That would be nice. The place is still a little... <looking around> bare. But it's nice. You know Mal and some of the Druids built it? <sitting back down> Isn't that amazing? And he'll add on when we have more children. 
[06:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: "When" she says!  "When we have more children"!  Oh, how I love to hear that.  <she smiles and looks around again> He built this?  My son built his own house for his wife and baby girl...it really is just like the fairy tales...which reminds me...<she gets up and sorts through boxes, shaking one occasionally till her face lights up. She brings it back over to Mai> I think this is the one...
[06:26] arynwyn: Mai: He's an amazing man. <smiling and watching curiously, then taking the package. she tears off the paper>
[06:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <it's a box of towels and clothes mostly, but there are a couple of books in it.  One of them is an obviously well-loved volume of fairy tales and bedtime stories.  Noren picks it up and pets the cover> I used to read this to Malseir when he was a little little boy.  When he learned to read on his own, he used to read and re-read this book till the cover fell off.  I had it rebound for him, and he kept reading.  He didn't take anything with him when he left, but I always wondered if he would've taken this if he'd stopped to pack instead of just storming out.  I thought he should have it again, for his children. <she smiles and offers the book to Mai>
[06:32] arynwyn: Mai: <looks up at Noren, smiling> I'm sure Rhiannon will treasure it as much as he did. <she flips through a few of the pages and makes a mental note to show it to Mal when he returns> I can't say it enough: Thank you.
[06:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <laughs> You're a sweet girl.  Just what I always wanted in a daughter-in-law.
 Selom: <comes back in> It's getting late, Noren.  We should go.  Our son's giving directions to the driver.  <his tone is terse, and he doesn't look pleased>
 Noren: <sighs and stands> We'll be staying a few days, dearie.  Lunch tomorrow, perhaps?
[06:35] arynwyn: Mai: <stands as well and nods> Yes, of course. Come by whenever you're ready. <she doesn't make eye contact with Selom>
[06:36] arynwyn: (( Heh... are the parents going to find out about her addiction? Might be kind of interesting to have Selom offer her/them some Bloodthistle or something. <shrug> ))
[06:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <hugs her> Don't even think of cooking, either.  Just point me at the kitchen and I'll pull something together. <smiles as she pulls away>
 Mal: <coming inside; he strides straight past Selom> Your carriage awaits, Mother.
 Noren: Oh, dear boy. <hugs him too and kisses his cheek in the sloppy manner of overly affectionate mothers>  Thank you. 
 Selom: <clears his throat>
 
 ((If Selom and Mai end up alone together, he'll likely question her about her mage training - right now he thinks she gave it up because Mal got her preggers.  If they're alone together outside the house, he'll light up his pipe - and that's not tobacco he's smoking...which is why Mal threw a shit fit about it.))
[06:39] arynwyn: (( Oooooh. >.> ))
[06:40] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles and waves as they go, holding out her hand for Mal. she says, after they're gone> Have a nice chat with your father? <she knows this is a silly question>
[06:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <mutters, glaring at the door they left through> ...thick-headed, obstinate son of a...<clears his throat and decides it's convenient subject change time; he doesn't want Mai to know what his father thinks of this situation.  He does is best to get the growling suppressed rage out of his voice> Did you have a nice chat with Mother?
[06:42] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> She's a wonderful woman. Look at this. <she holds up the earrings first> Those are mine. <then the locket> That's for Rhiannon. Look inside. <and finally holds out the book, a soft smile on her face> ...and this. 
[06:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <nods at the earring, smiles at the locket until he sees the picture, but hides the resulting scowl...mostly.  When she offers the book to him, a wave of serene contentment washes over him.  He takes the book and looks at it, opens it and flips through the pages> ...I remember this.  <he looks up at her> My childhood storybook. <he smiles at her and then down at the page again, reading little snippets here and there as he flips to random pages>
[06:47] arynwyn: Mai: <nods> Your mother told me. <she slips under one of his arms and looks down at the pages as he flips through them, then smiles up at him. she leans up and kisses his cheek, whispering, "I love you" before pulling away> I'm going to take these upstairs to our room. <gathering packages up>
[06:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Here, I'll help you...<he sets the book down on the nearest table and goes to collect some of the heavier boxes.  If it's real heavy, he stops to open it and leaves it down here - those are usually the ones filled with books, so he lugs them over near the bookshelves to deal with later>
[06:50] arynwyn: (( so... FF? ^^ ))
[06:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure; to when? Lunch tomorrow?  Mal's gone most of the day, so lunch will likely be just the parental units & Mai.))
[06:52] arynwyn: (( Okies. Do you want to do the whole lunch or just the Mai alone with Selom thing? ))
[06:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We can skip to that part...I've got a reason for Noren to take off :) ))
[06:53] arynwyn: (( okies. you wanna start? ))
[06:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sure sure :) ))
[06:54] arynwyn: (( merci! :-D )0
[06:54] arynwyn: *))
[06:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <yawns and stretches> Oh, I think I stayed up too late last night...and ate too much lunch today.  <she laughs> Do either of you mind if I slip off back to the Sanctuary for a bit of a nap?
 Selom: Not at all.  <pats her hand>  The carriage can drop you off and come back.  
[06:56] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Of course not. 
[06:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Noren: <gets up and hugs Mai> I'm glad you enjoyed the presents.  <she kisses her husband's temple and briefly shoots him a warning look>  Have fun, you two. <she smiles, gathers her cloak, and bustles out>
 Selom: <smiles at her as she leaves and pulls his pipe out, then pauses> I know it's a little chilly outside, but care to talk more while I smoke? <he nods towards the door>
[06:59] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles nervously> Sure. <she goes and grabs a fur cloak and pulls it around her shoulders> I put Rhiannon down just before you two got here so she'll sleep a couple more hours.
[06:59] arynwyn: (( YUM. (Link: http://frogbogblog.com/Brad.jpg)http://frogbogblog.com/Brad.jpg&nbsp;-))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mmmmmmmmmmm))
[07:02] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[07:02] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sorry - popping other half of pizza in oven))
[07:02] arynwyn: (( no worries. ^^ ))
[07:02] arynwyn: (( ever heard of/read I AM LEGEND?  ))
[07:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: Good.  She's a beautiful child.  I'm sure she gets all of that from her mother. <pulling his own cloak on>
 
 ((Yep yep.  Well, I read the Graphic Novel.  I'm a little worried about the movie treatment, but...hey, Will Smith. ^_^ I'm hoping to go see it when I get out of my final - it comes out the same day.))
[07:03] arynwyn: (( Nice! I read the book for a  horror fiction class I took last summer. Didn't really like the book and I'm also a little worried about the movie, but like you said, it's Will Smith. :-D ))
[07:04] arynwyn: Mai: <blushes faintly and pulls the door open for him>
[07:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <walks out and dutifully waits until he's well away from the house to light up.  He puffs on the pipe stem a couple of times and sighs a cloud of contented smoke> And how's the boy treating you?
[07:06] arynwyn: Mai: <smiles> Very well. He's a gentleman, sir, as I'm sure you raised him. <the smoke has not yet reached her>
[07:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <snorts derisively> I raised him to be a gentleman, yes.  The jury's still out on whether I had any success.  Frankly, he likely couldn't have done better than to have married you, but marrying you should've been the first step.  <puff puff> Not a hasty cover to unrestrained impulses.  You're a fine woman, and you could've had a prosperous life ahead of you.  You deserve better. <puff puff>
[07:12] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> No, I really don't think-- <the smoke reaches her and she realizes what he's smoking. her eyes, normally a bluish-green, flash a very bright and vibrant green (and stay that way for Mal to see) > Oh... <she blinks a couple of times> I need to go inside... <she leaves very abruptly, going to the house and closing the door behind her. she searches for her bottle of moonwell water that she keeps in case of emergencies and takes a drink of it>
[07:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <seems confused by her sudden departure, but he can't go after her while smoking.  He watches the door as he puffs away on his pipe>
[07:15] arynwyn: Mai: <she knows she shouldn't go back out but she also doesn't want to be rude. she takes another drink, then tucks the bottle into her cloak and steps back outside. she offers an apologetic smile> Sorry about that. <clears her throat and offers no explanations. she stands further away from him than before and keeps her head down>
[07:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((was fetching pizza))
 Selom: <arches an eyebrow and says nothing> At any rate, I apologize to you for my son's disrespectful treatment of you, and I thank you for your gracious support of marriage to him.
[07:18] arynwyn: Mai: <frowns> He didn't treat me in any disrespecful manner and I wanted to marry him. <she sighs>
[07:19] arynwyn: (( Holy... lookit this. Poor woman. >.> (Link: http://maceys.net/albums/Steph/huge_boobs.jpg)http://maceys.net/albums/Steph/huge_boobs.jpg&nbsp;-))
[07:20] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: Kind of you to say.  But even you said, you were a promising student of the Spire.  And now, this cannot be.  It must be hard to live out here like this, knowing you could've been so much more.
[07:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL> Okay that has to be faked...somehow....))
[07:21] arynwyn: Mai: I didn't leave the Spire because of Mal. <fighting the urge to go closer and breathe in the smoke...>
[07:21] arynwyn: (( <giggle> dunno ))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: ((gyah it hurts me to look at it...))
[07:21] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> ))
[07:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: No?  Then why?  You wanted to be a mage, yes?
[07:22] arynwyn: Mai: <gives in to the urge and steps closer, closing her eyes to savor the smell> Yes, of course, but I... <pauses and turns very red> I had some personal issues I had to deal with.
[07:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: Such as my idealistic son?  <he shakes his head> Such a shame for the Spire to lose two students to this poisoned wasteland out here. <puff>
[07:25] arynwyn: Mai: No, it wasn't your son! <sighs and looks away> It was the exact thing you're smoking. Bloodthistle. Mana potions. Crystalized mana essence. All things they push at you to make you <uses her fingers to make quotes> "stronger" and "better"... Only all they do is make you ill.
[07:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: Ill?  I'm quite healthy, for my age, thank you.  And still as powerful as a man half my years.  <he finishes his pipe and taps the ashes out onto the ground> We live in a time when our race is still coming back from near extinction.  There are two ways to keep our civilization alive.  Your child in there represents one way: more babies means more future citizens.  But just as important is the power to keep those elements that would harm those children at bay.  We need power to keep what happened all those years ago from happening again.  Without it, we might as well just open our gates to the Scourge and let them do as they see fit.
[07:30] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head> It doesn't make you ill? Then why do we have Wretched walking around? If my sister hadn't intervened, if Mal hadn't saved me, I'd probably be one by now. <and she stalks off toward the house, pulling out her moonwell water to take another drink>
[07:31] arynwyn: (( Wha? Blood + is back on the weekday lineup? Sweet. ))
[07:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <can and does follow her, tucking his pipe away>The Wretched are simply those who lack the strength of will necessary to wield sufficient power.  They let it break them down.  The Spire would have taught you that, given time.  You would not have become one of those abominations.
[07:34] arynwyn: Mai: <shakes her head, still going back to the house> They didn't care. I was halfway there, and they didn't care. <she pushes the door open and steps inside, pulling off her cloak and hanging it up> You are ignorant of the pain it causes, and that's a true pity. <she puts the moonwell water on the table within easy reach>
[07:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <unfastens and removes his own cloak, hanging it next to hers.  He sighs at her> As idealistic as Malseir is.  No wonder you two get along so well.  If only the daft fool had married you first; to scandalize such a prestigious family...<shakes his head>
[07:38] arynwyn: Mai: <rounds on him> Don't call him that! He's not daft, nor a fool. <she scowls at him> I need to go change, to get this smoke off of me. I don't want it around Rhiannon. <and she heads upstairs>
[07:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Selom: <sighs> I'll take my leave then...<picking his cloak back up> Noren's talking about taking over the Sanctuary kitchen for a big dinner tomorrow night.  I'm sure she'll talk to you about it more during the day tomorrow.  <he exits quietly>
[07:40] arynwyn: (( now what? ))
[07:40] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mal seeing her eyes being all Green and such?  I'm not sure >.>  my idea stopped at "Mal's mom and dad coming and pestering the ever living hell out of Mal" ^_^ ))
[07:41] arynwyn: (( <laugh> okay. enter Mal then. ^^ ))
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <returns home to check up on the family before heading out to forage for food, not long after his father leaves (say an hour or so?)>
[07:44] arynwyn: Mai: <is scrubbing the smokey dress in her washbin, her eyes still very green. Rhiannon is on a blanket on the floor not too far away. they both look up when Mal comes in and Mai smiles>
[07:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Kind of a small load of laundry, my queen. <he comes over, looping an arm around her waist and kissing her>
[07:46] arynwyn: (( He's not going to say anything about her eyes? >.> ))
[07:47] arynwyn: Mai: <returns the kiss> Yes, it is. <she doesn't offer more than that. she's unaware her eyes are green so she thinks she won't have to worry him with it>
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Give him a sec ^_^ and Joe just woke up.))
 Mal: <cups her chin and looks at her eyes, not into them - At them> ...what happened? <he looks confused>
[07:50] arynwyn: (( Ah.. ^^ ))
[07:50] arynwyn: Mai: <blinks> Huh? <still unaware her eyes are green>
[07:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: Your eyes are...did you run out of moonwell water?  And did my parents annoy you so badly you had to...<sighs> I didn't think there was anything in the house: no mana pots that I knew of, and that damn herb doesn't grow out here...
[07:53] arynwyn: Mai: <pulls away from him and sighs> I went out to talk with your father after lunch, while he had his pipe. I didn't know he was smoking bloodthistle. <fights the urge to cry> I told him what happened to me and he basically called me weak. <goes back to scrubbing her dress> I'm scrubbing the dress I was wearing at the time because I don't want Rhiannon around it. 
[07:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: <exhales sadly and pulls her away from her scrubbing and into his arms> I'm sorry.  I should've warned you.  If he was smoking normal tobacco, it'd be bad enough, but...that's how he prefers to take his.  Should I tell him he can't smoke here at all anymore, not even outside?  I will.  <his tone of voice says "Yes, yes, please tell me I can tell him to shove that pipe where the sun don't shine.">
[07:58] arynwyn: Mai: <wraps her arms around him and nods> We live out here to be away from that. I'm still not strong enough... <sighs and buries her face in his shoulder> I'll never be strong enough. I don't want to be around it at all. So yes, please, tell him not to smoke it here... 
[08:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Mal: But you didn't take any bloodthistle from him, right?  You just inhaled smoke...which you couldn't help.  So you are stronger.  I'll still gladly tell him to stop smoking while he's visiting here, but don't ever think you aren't stronger than you were, Mairen. <hugs her tight>
[08:02] arynwyn: Mai: <nods again, returning the tight embrace> Yes, you're right. I didn't. But... I thought it. And I don't want it around Rhiannon. 
 
 (( Trinity Blood. D'you know it? ))
[08:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I know of it.  Joe likes it a lot.  I wanna see it.  Vatican Holocaust Robots with a Genocide function!  Also, vampires.  What's not to love?))
[08:03] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Sweeet. It's also on the Adult Swim lineup now. ))
[08:03] arynwyn: (( so what next? or are you tired again? ))
[08:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not tired!! :D  Joe just keeps distracting me with stuff.))
 Mal: See? You're so much stronger than you used to be.  And I'll do everything I can to help you.  You know I will.  <pulls away just enough to kiss her tenderly>
 
 
 ((As for what next....umm....I dunno.  ^_^; I know the Druids will likely throw a big dinner for Mal, Mai, Rhi and his parents the night before they set out, just 'cause they like any excuse for a get together/party.  Noren'll continue to coo over Rhiannon and try and talk Mai into coming to Silvermoon for visits/parties/shopping trips. :D 
 Are you sleepy, Miss Up-At-2-AM?))
[08:09] arynwyn: (( I'm not tired. Hah, am I ever? =P Hm. You never decided if you wanted to do that thing with Keira or not. Or there's always Charise's book... uhm... Also, my other evil for Ren... but that's kind of eh to me. ))
 
 Mai: <returns the kiss softly, then pulls away, smiling> You can start by refilling my moonwell bottle. After an exposure, I'm going to need it... <she points to it on the table and goes back to scrubbing her dress>
[08:09] arynwyn: (( so far I really like this show, even though it's only 10 mins in. =P ))
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh.  Yes I want to do the Keira thing; and the book thing; there's also Lore and the quest for the rings that I totally want him to get busted on....Sasuke's evilness...or...um...yeah, I think that's all I got.))
 
 Mal: <chuckles> Yes, my queen.  <he kisses her nose and pulls away to go pick up Rhiannon and cuddle and smooch and tickle her for a bit>
[08:12] arynwyn: (( Sure. And we can do this for Lore: a noble comes in asking for a potion, willing to pay a very nice sum, and Lore is out but Ari doesn't want him to lose the business so she goes out to find him... So, take your pick. Any of those things is fine by me! :-D ))
[08:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hmm...<thinky thinky thinky> I know I want to do Lore & Ari before the Sasuke evilness.  Oh, and Jaes wants his wedding night. <rolls her eyes> Hmm, but I think I want to torture Mya & Dres first.  (devil) ))
[08:16] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Okies. So have her go for a stroll. ^^ ))
[08:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sure sure - what time of day?))
[08:17] arynwyn: (( they work night shifts, so just before dusk. ))
[08:18] arynwyn: (( aw. vampires are the bad guys on this show. ))
[08:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <is out and about in the city.  She knows it's getting late and she ought be going home soon, but she likes the look of Silvermoon in the twilight.  She decides to take the longest way possible home, so she can enjoy it as much as possible>
[08:24] arynwyn: <as she passes an alley, she can hear voices. if she looks, she sees Dres and Keira arguing in loud whispers. Dres has his back against one of the walls and Keira has a hand on his chest, holding him there. he's not really struggling against her, but he doesn't seem happy with the arrangement. finally the argument stops but Keira doesn't release him. instead, she leans in and kisses him hard on the mouth, and not just a peck, a deep kiss with lots of tongue. Dres holds his hands up and away from her body, his eyes closed, but he doesn't kiss back. Keira finally pulls away and looks into his eyes, smirking a little. Dres looks like he's been punched in the stomach as he gapes at her for a moment. a second later he sprints down the alley (away from Mya, who he's not seen) and vanishes from sight>
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Keira still there?))
[08:25] arynwyn: (( Yep ))
[08:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <She blinks at seeing the two of them, and stares when Keira dares to kiss her husband.  Her eyes narrow into thin, angry slits.  She watches Dresden run away, and she wastes not another second in striding up to Keira and, without prologue or explanation, punching her in the mouth as hard as she can.  Not very rogue-ish of her, but her burning anger is in control at the moment, not her cold, calculating training.>
 
 ((Mya in RP is higher level than I ever got her character - but she's a far cry from 50 >.> Maybe mid thirties?))
[08:30] arynwyn: (( okies ))
 
 Keira: <takes the punch without even a wince, raising an eyebrow and wiping at the blood that blooms on her lip. she merely smirks and pushes past Mya to head out of the alley>
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((they might be rolling out the paid name change to the servers today; the downtime is 6 hours instead of the usual.))
[08:30] arynwyn: (( cool ))
[08:31] arynwyn: (( If I play again, I'm going to change Rhee's name... though I'll immediately start another char with the name 'cause I love it so much. <giggle> ))
[08:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <thinks: You should know better than to turn your back on me; she swishes her skirt high enough to get at her dagger (poisoned of course, like all good rogue-y blades), drawing it from its sheath and moving to stab Keira in the back (well, down low, in the side - aiming for the kidneys really).  She stealths automatically, as a matter of form...and so that passersby don't see her.  Even if it's useless against Keira, no one else should know that the reserved and ladylike Myanara Duskblade is capable of this sort of thing.>
 
 ((Which reminds me: Noren used to be a rogue.  It's how she did the "disappear out of the carriage and reappear by her new daughter-in-law" trick when they first showed up.  She's waaaay out of practice, but she likes to stealth for mischief's sake sometimes.))
[08:35] arynwyn: (( Ah. okies. <giggle> ))
[08:35] arynwyn: Keira: <calls over her shoulder> Don't even try. <striding away>
[08:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <like that's going to stop her.  She simply speeds up her attack, moving in faster and swinging the blade with every intention of burying it deep in Keira's organs...and maybe giving it a good twist, just to make herself feel better>
[08:38] arynwyn: Keira: <stops and turns with a sigh, drawing her sword and holding it up. she looks Mya in the eyes> Don't do this. Not only will I kill you, I won't even get in trouble for it. <smirk>
[08:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <glares at her> Maybe not with your superiors.  Maybe.  You think you'll ever get what you really want, you lying bitch?
[08:41] arynwyn: Keira: <lowers her sword and steps in close, leaning down to say right in Mya's face> I am better than you will ever be. Dresden is remembering what we had. It's only a matter of time before he comes back to me. <stands back up>
[08:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <doesn't answer that in words, just moves (as fast as she's capable of) to tear Keira's throat open with her blade>
[08:44] arynwyn: Keira: <moves back, but not quite quick enough. the blade drives deep into her throat and she lets out a rattling gasp. she pushes Mya off of her and swings her sword, catching her hard in the side. the sword digs deep into her flesh, but not as deep as it could have>
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Mya still have her dagger or is it either in Keira's throat or on the ground?))
[08:46] arynwyn: (( <shrug> You pick ))
[08:46] arynwyn: (( I trust you not to god-mod. :-D ))
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <the dagger comes out of Keira's throat as Mya's pushed away, but she drops it as the sword connects.  She winces and bites back a cry of pain, literally: biting her lip hard enough to draw blood.  She pulls a throwing dagger out of her sleeve and hopes she can steady her vision before Keira can get away from her, but not crying out from the pain isn't the same thing as being able to focus through it.>
[08:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww, thanks ^_^ ))
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I thought about writing an outtake of that which was: 
 Mya: <Totally doesn't even notice the sword; she twists the dagger in Keira's throat and then jerks it over to one side, completely decapitating her>
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[08:49] arynwyn: Keira: <pulls her sword out of Mya's side harshly> Finished yet? <she casts a Purify spell to get rid of the poison>
 
 (( <LOL> ))
[08:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'll stop...when I believe you'll leave Dresden alone.  Since your word is obviously worth shit, I don't know...when that'll be.  <that speech took a lot out of her.  She takes a chance and throws the dagger at Keira, trying to aim for her chest; she gets her 2nd (of 3) throwing dagger in her hand as soon as the 1st leaves it>
[08:53] arynwyn: Keira: <the dagger embeds in her chest, just above her heart, but because of her armor it doesn't do much damage. she pulls it out and tosses it behind her> You're not worth my time. Throwing toy daggers at me... <she spits on the ground>
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <wants to give a nice speech about not giving a damn what Keira thinks of her, but doesn't want to waste breath talking when she needs it for, oh, say, living.  She aims for Keira's head this time, attempting to focus through the pain and the rapid blood loss, and sends her 2nd dagger at her>
[08:56] arynwyn: (( <ponders making brownies...> ))
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((GO FOR EEEET! Live the dream!))
[08:58] arynwyn: Keira: <the dagger cuts along her left cheek, blood spilling down her face. Keira looks pissed now and she steps forward over Mya, raising her sword and driving it down toward her heart/shoulder area>
[08:58] arynwyn: (( at 3 AM? >.> ))
[09:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So?))
 
 Mya: <Her mental reflexes are still fairly sharp, getting a boost from adrenaline, but her body's not quite up to the task.  In her attempt to dodge away from the falling blade, she basically falls to the ground...but to the side.  A little.  The blade goes into her arm, near the shoulder, and Mya can't stop herself from screaming in pain, though she does manage to cut the scream short a little.> ((She's been trained so much in Do Not Be Detected more than in combat.  She'd be a Subtlety rogue if specced properly - though I specced her as Combat for leveling....))
[09:03] arynwyn: (( <nodnod> Okies. ))
 
 Keira: <twists the blade for good measure> Stupid whore. You think I don't know about you and your family? <she spits again, blood mixing in with the saliva, aiming for Mya's face. she tugs her blade out and kicks Mya in the stomach, then turns to go> 
[09:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((3 AM, 3 PM, who cares?  If you wanna make brownies and you're able to make brownies, what do the numbers on the clock matter? ^_^ ))
 
 
 Mya: <cries out again as the blade twists, and she ignores the blood and spit on her face, especially given that she's just been kicked in the stomach.  ((Ohhh the evil I could do with that....Dresden would hate Keira until the end of time...<cough>)) She struggles to her knees, facing Keira, pulls her last throwing dagger and focuses hard, using all her energy to aim her final strike at the back of Keira's neck.  She throws the dagger and collapses face down in the alleyway, unable to see if it succeeded or not.  She's still conscious, barely, and she watches her blood pool on the cobblestones, listening for a cry of pain, the sound of someone's knees hitting pavement, anything that might tell her whether or not she missed>
[09:11] arynwyn: (( O_o ooooh, dooooo eeeeet!! :-D ))
 
 Keira: <hisses in pain as it hits her, but it (luckily) doesn't strike her spine. she reaches back and tugs it out of her neck, tossing it to the ground and striding off>
 
 Ath: <five minutes later, Ath comes by, calling Mya's name quietly. It's late and she's worried about her baby sister>  (( 'cause I don't want Mya to die. >.> ))
[09:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have not zee brownies...I do have those microwaveable molten lava cake thingies though :3 ))
 
 Mya: ... ...<hears Ath calling for her, on the verge of tipping into unconsciousness from blood loss.  She's too weak to talk.  She reaches for one of her throwing daggers on the ground and just sort of drops her hand against it, not really able to pick it up.  But the metal striking stone beneath it makes a chink! sound.  Mya does it again - chink! - and then tries to get her energy up for a third attempt>
[09:15] arynwyn: (( mmmm! ))
[09:16] arynwyn: Ath: <turns at the sound> Mya? <she apprehensively steps into the alley, holding her latern up> Oh gods... <she kneels next to her sister and begins casting the best healing spell she knows, and then a second time> Mya? Are you alright?
 
 (( And I vote on teh uber evil with the kicking in the stomach thing :-D ))
[09:17] arynwyn: (( Although Keira hurting Mya at all is bad enough... ))
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh.  Can you guess what I was thinking?  And yeah, that's basically what Mya was banking on: go ahead and kill me, bitch - see if Dresden wants you then.))
 
 Mya: <groans as the healing energies wash over her> ...no.  Not at all.
 
 ((Also...Furon is going to be pisssssed at this. >.> If his power and influence aren't enough, I'm fairly certain he's a higher level rogue than Keira is a pally.  She can see through his stealth, sure, and he's older than she is, so she'll have an edge if the fight goes on for awhile, but...anyways...))
[09:20] arynwyn: (( <laugh> Let Dres do the honors... And she hurt/killed a baby, hm? ))
 
 Ath: Gods, Mya. What in Azeroth happened here? <she helps her sister into a sitting position>
[09:22] arynwyn: (( And his power/influence would be enough... It goes like this: Kael'thas/direct advisors/those that do his work and get Protectors/those that give up family to become Protectors/those that do neither/those that are against him ))
[09:24] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hee.  I knew you'd know where that was going.  And if you vote for it, so shall it be.  Just to add to the horror, say Mya didn't know either...Ath's a priest.  She might be able to detect it, given reason to look for it...))
 
 Mya: That....bitch...ugh...<puts a hand to her stomach>...she...won't give up on him. <she sort of nods loopily, though she doesn't seem to be agreeing to anything> ...still feel kinda lightheaded...and there's...so much pain...
 
 ((Oooo.  Oh dear.  I think it's about to suck to be Keira.))
[09:25] arynwyn: Ath: <casts another healing spell, then looks at Mya's stomach> You're not wounded there... but it hurts? Mya, are you pregnant? And what bitch?
[09:25] arynwyn: (( Ath's not gunna cast the spell until Mya tells her too... ))
[09:25] arynwyn: *to
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Eh, well... maybe if she doesn't know if she's pregnant but there's pain... <shrug> ))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Oh, and is it dead or just very hurt? ))
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Keira.  She wants Dresden for herself.  And she won't give up.  And pregnant? I...don't know.  It's possible.  I haven't been doing anything to prevent it....
[09:28] arynwyn: Ath: <frowns and begins casting a dianosis spell> I don't know who Keira is... <she finishes the spell and 
 
 (( dead or hurt? ))
[09:28] arynwyn: *diagnosis
[09:30] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I doubt it's very far along if Mya hasn't figured out she's pregnant, so...hurt.  It's barely "alive" at this point.))
[09:31] arynwyn: <she finishes the spell and takes Mya's hand, squeezing it gently> You are pregnant, but it's... very hurt. You need bedrest, Mya. <she casts yet another healing spell>
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...<blinks a few times> ...I'm...she hurt...I'll Kill Her.  I will...<moves to stand, determined to track Keira down and garrote the life out of her>
[09:34] arynwyn: Ath: Mya, no! If you try, you'll only hurt it more... <she pushes Mya back down> Stay here. I'm going to get some help. And gods, Mya, don't move or you'll kill it... And where the hell is Dresden?
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I don't know.  The bitch had him pinned to a wall.  She kissed him...not that he did anything about it...<grrrrrrr>...and then he ran off. <her hands ball into fists again> That was when I punched her in the mouth.  <she smirks at the memory> Didn't really hurt her much, but damn it felt good.  Not as good as seeing her in unbearable pain would, mind you...
[09:38] arynwyn: Ath: <sighs> Stay here. I'll be right back. <she runs off, leaving the lantern, and comes back a few minutes later with a couple of strong male servants> Back here. We need to carry her back to the house. And be careful with her or it'll be your head! <she glares at each of them>
[09:39] arynwyn: *heads
[09:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <exhales in frustration> I need to get stronger, Aileth. <since the servants are there, she uses her "public" name>  I need to be able to thrash her the next time...
[09:40] arynwyn: Ath: <saying quietly in her ear since she doesn't want the servants gossiping> Not for nine months. <the servants pick Mya up and head back toward the house>
[09:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs again> I suppose not. <frowns> I probably won't see Dresden until dawn...
[09:43] arynwyn: (( So, FF? Uhm, and she won't see him at dawn. He's going to disappear until she comes and finds him. >.> ))
[09:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oh dear.  that'll be a bit. >.>  And sure.  FF to...her being well enough to track him down?))
[09:44] arynwyn: (( Mkay... he'll be at/around his cabin. I can set the scene. ))
[09:44] arynwyn: (( oh, and the door'll be locked, but I'm sure he's given her a key by now. ))
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Kk))
[09:47] arynwyn: <everything outside the cabin looks normal, and the door is locked. after she pushes the door open, though... The whole place has been ransacked. Anything glass has been shattered. Anything cloth has been ripped. Papers are scattered everywhere, and in general, everything has been tossed around, pushed over or thrown across the room. There's blood on the floor as well, and Dresden is no where to be found.>
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <blinks and readies her dagger with the same practiced swish-and-draw motion of her skirts, dropping into stealth out of the same habit> Dresden? <she calls, falling into a crouch, not only to protect her heart and head from sudden attack by anyone who might've seen her pre-stealth, but also to protect her midsection, which is suddenly one of the more important parts of her.  She's still not used to that.  She looks around for signs of life, stalking quietly towards the kitchen first>
[09:52] arynwyn: (( He's not there, so... ))
 
 Dres: <a few minutes after she arrives, Dres stumbles into his cabin. he leaves his dead deer just outside the door as he steps in, noting the unlocked door. he looks terrible: his clothes are torn and bloody, his hands and arms are cut up badly, and he hasn't bathed or shaved since the incident. he steps in and looks around>
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <spins towards the intruder...then, seeing it's Dresden, she straightens out of her crouch and drops out of stealth (not that it matters, for him). She frowns and goes over to him quickly, stepping around paper and items on the floor> Dresden? Gods, are you alright?  What happened here?
[09:55] arynwyn: Dres: <his eyes go wide when he sees her and he holds his hands up, backing away> What are you doing here?...
[09:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I have to talk to you.  About a couple of things.  Most of it not good.  But tell me about this <gesturing to the disaster area that is his cabin> first.  What happened?
[09:57] arynwyn: Dres: <steps around her and walks further into the cabin> Nothing. <he kicks something and it flies across the room> What do you want to say? <turning to face her, scowling>
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns at him> Nothing?  THIS is not "nothing", Dresden.  And if I'm not supposed to lie to you, then I think it's only fair that you do the same. <folds her arms>  I already know about Keira kissing you the other day, if that's what you're trying to hide.  Way to say "No" to her, by the way.
[10:00] arynwyn: Dres: <glares at her, picking something up and thowing it across the room (though not at her)> Just me. That's all that happened, Mya. Just me. And if you know, why the hell are you here? Just to bitch me out? 'Cause if that's it, then leave. 
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I'm far more pissed at her than at you.  Bitch said she'd stop this shit, so obviously her word can't be trusted.  But...why would you do this?  Gods, Dresden, this...this isn't like you. <looking around at the mess>
[10:03] arynwyn: Dres: <fighting back his anger, his eye twitching a little> Why are you here? What do you want to say? Just tell me and go. 
[10:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <frowns, looking more sad than angry> Why won't you tell me what's wrong?
[10:05] arynwyn: Dres: Argh! <he punches a wall hard with a sickening cracking sound. he closes his eyes against the pain, breathing hard> ...what do you want, Mya?
[10:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <starts at the sound and sighs> Forget it.  I'm not going through this with you right now.  I haven't even seen you in the last few days.  Ath's been hovering over me like a hawk and I've hardly been able to get out of the house.  Hell, she wouldn't let me out of bed for two days.  <she scowls> Look me up when you decide you give a damn again. <she storms out and heads back for the city; she wanted to ride, but walked instead, worried about all the bouncing on the already injured fetus>
[10:10] arynwyn: Dres: <swears and goes after her, grabbing her arm harder than he meant to. he drops it quickly> Stop. Just stop. <he turns her to face him> I'm not fit to be your husband, okay? <looking around like someone will overhear> Come back to the cabin. We'll have a drink and talk. 
[10:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: "Not fit"? <she stares at him as if he suddenly turned into a draenei> Yes, let's talk about this notion of yours.  <walks back to the cabin>
[10:12] arynwyn: Dres: <follows her in and pours them each a shot of rum, taking his immediately and pouring another>
[10:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sets hers aside> Why would you think you're not fit to be my husband?  Isn't that my decision? <thinks: ...and not that bitch's? but refrains from saying it>
[10:14] arynwyn: Dres: <runs a beaten up hand over his face and takes another shot> 'Cause I... I can't tell her no. <he collapses in one of the only non-broken chairs and sighs heavily> You deserve better.
[10:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Well you'd better learn to tell her no, because you're stuck with me...unless the problem is really that your attraction to me is wearing off?  We did marry fairly quickly...
[10:18] arynwyn: Dres: <looks up at her quickly> No! <he sighs again angrily and shoves some of the crap on the table off> It's me. I'm just... <glares at the floor, listing off all the awful things he is in his head>
[10:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs> ...you're...possibly...a father.  Assuming it survives.
 
 ((Way to just drop a bombshell, Mya.
 Mya: Eh, I do what I can.))
[10:20] arynwyn: Dres: <looks up again, in shock, his voice cracking when he says> What?
[10:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: I didn't know I was pregnant when I attacked Keira.  Aside from the various other injuries I sustained, she gave me a good kick to my stomach.  Athie was the one who found out, when she was healing me up.  She said I have to rest, a lot.  It's why I haven't been able to track you down until today...though I had hoped you'd come to me before this point.
[10:24] arynwyn: Dres: Keira... <stands and goes to Mya, still looking shocked> She did what? <he puts a hand on her stomach gingerly, but his eyes flare with anger> Keira hurt you? And the... the baby?... <glowering now>
[10:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <shrugs> I attacked her.  I saw her kiss you.  I was too angry to think of anything else but causing her pain, and, like I said, I hadn't realized then I was pregnant.  I got in a few good strikes, but by and large....if Athie hadn't come along when she did....<she sighs> I need to get stronger so I can give that bitch the proper ass-kicking she deserves but...that's going to have to wait at least 9 months. <cold anger back in her voice>
[10:27] arynwyn: Dres: <eyetwitch> She hurt you? <and without another word, he begins searching for his armor, pulling on the pieces as he finds them>
[10:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Dresden...can you thrash her later? <she turns to face him> I...really need you here.  ....Please?  <she winces at how weak that sounds to her ears, but then reminds herself, with a mental sigh, that she really isn't as strong as she thought she was>
[10:31] arynwyn: Dres: <stops and looks up at her, then crosses to her and pulls her close carefully, his anger melting> Gods, Mya... <stroking her hair and kissing her cheek gently> 
[10:31] arynwyn: (( mmmm.... I want pancakes! :-D ))
[10:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <sighs in relief, holding him as tightly as she can> I don't care what you think, no one else is fit to be my husband.  And you can't leave me now, if I'm carrying your child, right?
[10:35] arynwyn: Dres: Mya... Mya... I never wanted to leave you. It never crossed my mind... <kiss, stroke, kiss> I was so afraid you were going to leave me... I've been such a complete ass. I don't know how you can ever forgive me...
[10:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Unless I can get proof you're actually sleeping with her...or someone else, or you start abusing me, you're stuck with me.  Once a Duskblade gets their claws in you, there's no turning back. <chuckles lightly and nuzzles in against his neck>
[10:39] arynwyn: Dres: <smiles lightly and continues to stroke her hair> Did you walk here? You should rest. The bed is about the only thing clean in this place. <bends and picks her up gently, gathering her into his arms>
[10:40] arynwyn: (( Heh, Tim's up. ))
[10:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: It was a tossup between the longer walk and the shorter ride.  I thought the horse might be more damaging...<looping her arms around his neck>  But I think a short rest would be good.
 
 (( Ruh roh, Raggy! < /Scooby>))
[10:42] arynwyn: Dres: <carries her into the bedroom and lays her gently on the bed, pulling a blanket up over her> So, tell me exactly what happened. <he sits next to her and brushes some hair out of her face>
[10:42] arynwyn: (( I'm not Raggy, I'm Rarah! <giggle> ))
[10:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<snickers>))
 
 Mya: <sighs and describes the fight, starting from her punch and going up to Ath coming looking for her, though she doesn't really know how long it was between Keira leaving and Ath showing up.  She includes generalities of what Keira said, such as "She said something like she would kill me and not even get in trouble for it."  Two things she remembers verbatim are "It's only a matter of time before he comes back to me" and Keira calling her a "Stupid whore."  To be fair, Mya also includes her own provocative dialog, which she remembers much better.  Of course, she talked less.>
[10:47] arynwyn: Dres: <stands and paces as she tells him all this, his good hand balling into a fist> I can't believe this. I can't believe she'd do this. She's not who she used to be. <glower> I'll make her pay, Mya. Don't worry. She's not going to get away with this... <he sits back down on the bed, sighing>
[10:50] arynwyn: (( Poor Tim. He's gotta go on a 4 mile run this morning. In 32 minutes. >.< ))
[10:50] arynwyn: (( I could NOT do an 8 minute mile. >.> ))
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <smiles> As much as I like hearing that, I still wish I was going to be the one to knock her cold.  <she sighs>  Athie and I have been keeping a low profile about all of this; if Uncle Furon finds out, he'll find a way to have her drawn and quartered....which, as attractive as that sounds to me, might not be the best way to go about this.  I wanted to let you know first, so that if there's some sort of...standard operating procedure in place....
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Me neither. >.> Ugh, exercise.))
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<grooves to "I'm Too Sexy" as it comes on>))
[10:53] arynwyn: Dres: I'm going to tell The Phoenix. He needs to know. And she'll be punished, if not terminated, for this. Of course, I'm not going to say you attacked her first... That would make your protection null and void, and she would get off scott free. I'm going to ask him if I can do the punishment or termination myself... <clenching his fist again, glaring at the floor> 
[10:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awww damnit.  All the plants that are listed as natural toxin removers are toxic to my cat >.> And considering this cat eats every damn thing he finds.... ~_~ ))
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: ...You shouldn't lie to your superior though.  What happens if he finds out you lied to him about this?
[10:55] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Tomato plants are toxic?!  Wth?!))
[10:56] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> I don't care. You're my wife. And she hurt our baby. <resting a hand on her stomach> I'm not going back either. I wasn't going to before this, but now it's certain. 
[10:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yeesh.  ~_~ Not that I'm very good with plants, but some of these are listed as really easy to take care of.  Doesn't matter. All freakin' toxic.  Though Tomato Plants weren't on the list of toxin removers - they were just on the Toxic to Pets List, and that surprised me.  Cornstalk is too. >.> ))
 
 Mya: You're...quitting?  <She isn't sure if she should be happy about this or not>
[10:57] arynwyn: (( Weird. >.> ))
[10:58] arynwyn: Dres: <shrugs> Guess you could put it that way. 
[10:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <she does smile a little> I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the idea of you spending more time with me, but...it's not going to be a problem for you, is it?
[10:59] arynwyn: (( gimme a sec ))
[11:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk))
[11:01] arynwyn: (( making pancakes ))
[11:01] arynwyn: Dres: I'll deal with it. <he leans forward and kisses her forehead> I have a sick wife and baby. They'll understand. Or they'll get over it. 
[11:03] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :3 ))
 
 Mya: I'm not sick, and neither is the baby.  We're just....recovering.  <she puts her hands over her stomach> I'm still getting used to this idea.
[11:03] arynwyn: Dres: <rests his hand on top of hers> Recovering, sick. Whatever. You need extra attention. <he gives a soft smile> ...we're going to have a baby.
[11:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <nods> Gods know we've been trying hard enough, hm? <she smiles in return> Ugh.  I hope I don't have to rest through the whole thing.  I'll go stir crazy.
[11:06] *** arynwyn has received Sarah Mclachlan - Full of Grace.mp3.
[11:06] arynwyn: Dres: Yes, you're resting through the whole thing. I don't want to take any chances. <leans foward and kisses her gently>
[11:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: <groans when he finally pulls away> You're going to sacrifice my sanity. <she looks at her stomach pointedly> You'd better be worth it, kid. 
[11:08] arynwyn: Dres: <laughs, then nuzzles and kisses her neck> What if I stay shut up with you? Keep you company? Will that keep you sane? <grin>
[11:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Mya: Maybe...but I can't guarantee anything.
[11:10] arynwyn: Dres: Guess we'll have to try. 
[11:10] arynwyn: (( Now what? Sleepings or more RPness? ))
[11:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well I don't need to sleep, but I do have errands I should be seeing to >.> ))
[11:13] arynwyn: (( lame. =P ))
[11:13] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Gotta pay rent, gotta pay the bursar, and car needs an oil change badly.  As in, it was due for one in September >.> ))
[11:13] arynwyn: (( O_o ))
[11:14] arynwyn: (( Okies. Well, when you get back are you going to get back on or something else? ))
[11:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Umm....it'll depend.  I might nap, I might clean the apartment up some or I might get back online.  I'll stop here first whatever I do and if you're on, I'll letcha know what I'm up for.))
[11:15] arynwyn: (( mkay. depending on how long you are, I may or may not be on. I'm not really tired at the moment, but who knows what will happen once my tummy is full? ))
[11:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs> Full of pancake-y goodness!))
[11:16] arynwyn: (( Mhm! :-D ))
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hooway!!! :D ))
[11:16] arynwyn: (( So, I'll see you later on today sometime. Depending. ^^ ))
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep yep :D ))
[11:16] arynwyn: (( <huggles> ))
[11:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<hugses>))
[12:21] arynwyn: bed for me :3
[12:21] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Tue Oct 30 12:21:34 2007.
[19:34] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Tue Oct 30 19:34:03 2007.
[19:34] arynwyn: 'm up when you are.
[20:25] arynwyn: Heh, finally told Mark "FUCK YOU"... 
[21:22] Chaos Angel Sox: o_O what'd he say...?
[21:22] *** Auto-response from arynwyn: Playin' God. Er, I mean... playin' Sims. <nodnod> That's it. <cough> Send me a message and I'll reply, it'll just take me a minute.
[21:22] arynwyn: dunno, I blocked him after that
[21:22] Chaos Angel Sox: No what'd he say that made you say that to him?
[21:23] arynwyn: Oh.
[21:23] arynwyn: He wanted me to tell you to email him, and he's upset I still RP with you, etc etc etc.
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: He's upset that you still RP with me?
[21:24] arynwyn: Last straw was that nothing's changed since August. So I said, "Nothing's changed? Okay. How about this? FUCK YOU."
[21:24] arynwyn: Yeah. 
[21:24] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles>
[21:24] arynwyn: <huggles>
[21:24] arynwyn: fucktard
[21:24] arynwyn: happy sleepings?
[21:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Yes.  oh so good sleepings.  And now I know what to say in my email to him. ^_^
[21:26] arynwyn: >.>
[21:26] arynwyn: May I ask? 
[21:26] Chaos Angel Sox: sure.  ask away. :)
[21:27] arynwyn: What are you going to say?
[21:28] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm going to tell him to fuck off, only nicer than that. ^_^;  I'm glad you told him in those exact words, but my using your words might not be the most helpful for him :)
[21:28] arynwyn: <nod>
[21:29] Chaos Angel Sox: <hugses> how were your sleepings? :D
[21:29] arynwyn: pretty good, though short.
[21:30] Chaos Angel Sox: short? :( why for?
[21:30] arynwyn: made myself get up at 2
[21:31] Chaos Angel Sox: why? crazy person. ^_~
[21:31] arynwyn: 'cause I need to fix my sleep schedule before I get back home.
[21:33] Chaos Angel Sox: awwww.  good point.
 
 Btw, I have to go to bed earlier tonight 'cause I have to be on campus at 12:30, which means I'll probably have to get up at 11 AM >_<
[21:33] arynwyn: No worries. What time are you going to crash?
[21:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Gonna try to go back to bed about 3 AM.  Dunno if I'll be able to sleep, but....
[21:34] arynwyn: Mkay. You up for RP until then?
[21:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Wow, Mark already replied to my email:
 
 "As Sarah and I just had a massive fight, it probably doesn't matter much."
 
 ....okay, so since you and Sarah aren't talking anymore, there's no point in trying to be friends with me anyway? Great, thanks, Mark. >.>
 
[21:35] arynwyn: Well, you did avoid emailing him for what, a month?
[21:36] Chaos Angel Sox: I wasn't avoiding him.  I just didn't know what to say to him.  And this time the time between his emailing me and my responding was a week. 
[21:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Well between his original email and him emailing me pestering me to answer....
[21:37] arynwyn: <shrug> I don't care. You don't have to email him at all. It's not my place. Which I told him and he was a jerk about it.
[21:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Actually not even a month.  It began on Oct 7.  >.>  Anyways.....
 
 Yeah it's really stupid that he'd pester you to get me to email him. >_<
[21:38] arynwyn: Mhm. Apparently since I refused I was being an unsupportive friend. What the hell? I can't make you care.
[21:39] Chaos Angel Sox: <huggles and stolen Halloween candy>
[21:39] arynwyn: <huggles> Stolen? 
[21:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Well I'm not supposed to eat it yet....
[21:39] arynwyn: <laugh> You bought it so it's not stolen. =P
[21:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Yeah but calling it "stolen" gives it that dangerous sounding edge.
[21:40] arynwyn: <giggle> Gotcha. 
[21:41] arynwyn: RP! I demand RP!
[21:41] arynwyn: :-D
[21:42] Chaos Angel Sox: <laughs> Sure sure.  Whatchoo wanna do?
[21:42] arynwyn: I 'unno. >.< You pick.
[21:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Ummm.... Lore getting busted ring shopping?
 Ummm.....Sasuke plot-ness?
 Ummm.....yes, Jaes, yes we could possibly let you have your wedding night.  Shut up.
 
 or if we can't figure anything out there's always OOC Truth or Lie? ^_^;;;
 
 Also - I need cereal...
[21:47] arynwyn: Oh, I vote the Lore thing. ^^
[21:48] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Okay, so... Full House. Mary Kate & Ashley were better actors as little kids than they are now. ))
[21:51] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LoL> I'm not surprised.  Actually I think their acting talent has stayed the same - but little kid acting is different from big-kid acting...))
[21:51] arynwyn: (( So true. But at least back then they were cute. Now they're just uber thin. >.> ))
[21:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Hi! My name's Mary Kate and I'm a stick! :D 
[21:52] arynwyn: <LOL>
[21:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore colored font....
[21:53] arynwyn: What color was Ari again?
[21:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lore color? Lore color? I don't remember. ^_^;;;))
[21:53] arynwyn: (( Lore was dark green. ))
[21:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh sweet, thank you. :D  I think Ari was a purple or pink?))
[21:54] arynwyn: (( Going with purple I guess. ))
[21:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okee.  go shopping boy. <shoves Lore>))
[21:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((^_^))
[21:55] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[21:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <Leaves the jewelry shop he was just at, not sure he likes any of those.  He strolls over to another glass window filled with shiny sparklies and peruses them> Argh....I have no idea what to get...<he mutters>
[21:58] arynwyn: Ari: <sighs as she turns down another street in the Bazaar, wondering where in the world Lore could be. she finally spots him and hurries over, glancing at the shop he just left. she raises an eyebrow> Lore?
[21:58] arynwyn: (( OH! <giggle> Did you know another Rambo movie is coming out? ))
[21:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O oh gods, why...?))
 Lore: ARI! O_O Umm....<he actually blushes a little>...wh-what's going on?
[21:59] arynwyn: (( <laugh> S'what I thought. ))
[22:00] arynwyn: Ari: <smiles, blushing as well> What are you doing? Is it your mother's birthday or something?...
[22:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: No, I...<looks at the rings in the window behind him> just thought that, if we're supposed to be engaged, you should have a ring.  ...Right?
[22:03] arynwyn: Ari: <bows her head a little to hide her blush and nods> I suppose so. <she steps forward and takes his hand, smiling up at him> 
[22:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: And...I mean, that's still the idea, right?  That we're supposedly getting married?
 
 
 ((I just remembered - once Lore's married, Ash's overprotective mother will want him to come home.... >.> ))
[22:05] arynwyn: (( Oooh, more drama! ))
[22:05] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> Yeah. Of course. <she looks in the window at the rings> It just seems silly to waste so much money for... pretend.
[22:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((You'd think I'd remember these major chara points....but nooooo.... ~_~;; ))
 
 Lore: ...Well, see, I've been....thinking about that.  <looks at her, and tries to get his suave-ness (suavity?) back.  he clears his throat>
[22:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I don't remember them all either. ))
[22:08] arynwyn: Ari: <still looking at the rings> Finally want to come clean with your parents? <she sighs> I figured you'd decide that eventually. <she turns and smiles at him> We can still be together, right? <he smile fades> Or... are we over too?
[22:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Of course we'll still be together.  That's kind of the definition of marriage. <reaches for her and pulls her over to look at the window again and tries to get his heart out of his throat.  Be cool, be smooth.  You can do this.> So which one do you like?
[22:11] arynwyn: Ari: <confused> Huh? Definition of marriage? 
[22:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods> Being together until one of us dies.  That's what marriage is, right?  Granted, I had to have Ash explain it to me...<he chuckles>
[22:15] arynwyn: Ari: <turns in his arms to look up at him> Are you saying... You want to really get married? To me? No more pretend?
[22:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <smiles and tries not to look nervous> Yeah, I'm not really good at pretending.  And I...I've gotten kind of used to you.  So much so that I...can't imagine being with anyone else.  Certainly not marrying anyone else. <grins and thinks: You can, you know, say yes anytime now...err...please?>
[22:20] arynwyn: Ari: <grins up at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply> I thought you'd never ask! <she turns back around and peers at the rings, blushing again. she bites her lower lip and points to one> That one is pretty.
[22:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Is it pretty enough though?  I mean...I don't know anything about any of this.  I just want you to have the perfect...well, everything.
[22:24] arynwyn: Ari: <giggles soflty> Hmm... Oh! Shoot, Lore. <she turns back to face him> The reason I came to find you. I hope she's still there... A woman came into the shop asking for a specialty potion. She offered a nice sum of money, but I didn't know anything about the potion, so I had to come and find you. <she glances back at the rings, not wanting to leave>
[22:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Oh.  Well, how about we go back and help the nice lady then close the shop down and come back?
[22:25] arynwyn: Ari: <nods> Sure. <slips a hand in his and starts back>
[22:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <he smiles at her> I like having you with me.  In the shop, in bed, just even here like this.  <as they walk back>  And if I don't do everything I can to keep you around, I think everyone else will murder me <he chortles>
[22:31] arynwyn: Ari: <slips under his arm> I'm glad you like having me around, 'cause I love being around you. <smiles up at him> I love you. 
[22:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <whispers in her ear> I love you too, Arianna.
[22:32] arynwyn: Ari: <turns crimson and smiles happily>
[22:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <still nuzzling her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear as they re-enter the shop>
[22:34] arynwyn: (( Do you want to RP the other woman? or FF? or skip to someone else? ))
[22:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<shrugs> I dunno.  that's really all I had for this.  >.> ))
[22:36] arynwyn: (( <giggle> s'cool. uhm... got anything for Sasuke? ))
[22:38] Chaos Angel Sox: (( sorry kitty snugglin'))
[22:38] arynwyn: (( aww! <3 ))
[22:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yeah I got enough of a beginning point anyway ^_^; ))
[22:39] arynwyn: (( mkay. setting? ))
[22:43] Chaos Angel Sox: <The guild hall: it's getting on towards dusk.  Dinner time comes and goes and Katalya hasn't come back yet.  Lore's impatient to tell her he's actually engaged....and as it gets on, he starts to worry.>
[22:44] arynwyn: Kil: <is also worrying> Anyone seen Katalya? <he's going through all the rooms looking for her, like she's hiding from him> Or know where she went today?...
[22:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: She was going in for more paladin training.  <looking out the window>  She should've been back by now though.
[22:46] arynwyn: Kil: <grabs a jacket> I'm going to go find her. <he goes up to his room and comes back with his sword, sliding the scabbard onto his belt> 
[22:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore:  We'll hold down the fort; I'll send Fang out to find you if she comes back.
[22:48] arynwyn: Kil: <nods> Thanks. <he steps out of the door and gets his bearings, then heads off toward Farstriders>
[22:50] Chaos Angel Sox: <The blood knights inform him they saw her leave and head for the Bazaar (so towards the guild hall).  She apparently doesn't bring her weapons with her to practice, since they provide weapons there if they're doing combat training, so she was wearing her mail but was unarmed>
[22:51] arynwyn: Kil: <swears as he leaves, heading back toward the Bazaar, checking all the alleys and bars and inns as he goes>
[22:52] Chaos Angel Sox: <She seems to have vanished....and then Fang shows up and paws at Kil.  'course this rips his pants a little (claws), and Fang has the decency to get an "Oops" look on his kitty face>
[22:54] arynwyn: Kil: <scratches Fang behind his ears, ignoring his ripped pants, and takes off jogging toward the guild hall, stepping in the back door> Katalya?
[22:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <shakes his head> No, but this just sort of showed up.  One minute it wasn't there, the next minute...<he's holding a folded note> It's addressed to you.
[22:56] arynwyn: Kil: <frowns and takes the note, unfolding it and reading it quickly>
[23:01] Chaos Angel Sox: <The handwriting is legible...barely> [She's done with you now.  She's with me now, and that's how it's going to stay.  We have a place of our own now; you're no longer good enough for her.  Not that you really ever were.]
 
 ((drat.  keep trying to think of some clever clue as to their location to put in there, but I can't.))
[23:02] arynwyn: (( Oh dear. >.> ))
[23:03] arynwyn: Kil: <reads the note, then rereads it, then crushes it in his fist> Bastard. <he looks up at Lore, glowering> He's got her. He fucking kidnapped her. <he tosses the note away, seething, trying to think what to do, trying not to panic>
[23:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <picks up the note and uncrumples it to read> Oh, son of a... <he tosses it on the table with a sigh> Single-minded, isn't he?  Good gods....
 Fang: <sniffs the note and sneezes>
[23:08] arynwyn: (( sneezes? >.> ))
 Kil: <pacing> Where would he take her? I'll fucking kill him. <think pace think> I should have killed him last time. Bastard...
[23:09] arynwyn: (( I realize the sneeze is a clue, but Kil is too distracted to notice. >.> ))
[23:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yep.  you never seen cats or dogs do that?  They just sneeze at things sometimes. ^_^ ...))
 Lore: <looks at Fang and picks up the note again> Can we avoid the killing of people in my home, if at all possible?  I'm not saying he doesn't necessarily need it...I just don't want to clean up after it.  <holds the note out to Fang again>
 Fang: <smells it again and sneezes again, then growls lowly and prowls away from it, giving his master a look that says "No, not doing it again.  Stop it.">
[23:13] arynwyn: Kil: I'll do my best... What's Fang's problem, anyway? <glaring at the cat for a moment, then pacing again>
[23:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <sniffs the paper himself> Hmm, smells like...hold on...can't quite...<wanders down to his lab, distractedly>
[23:15] arynwyn: Kil: Smells like what? <he follows him down, grabbing the note from Lore and sniffing it himself>
[23:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <there's a sort of earthy smell to it>
 Lore: <starts grabbing and sniffing random herbs he's got stored in the lab.  He grabs one and offers it to Fang>
 Fang: <sniffs it and sneezes, glowering at Lore in a "You tricked me." way and prowling back upstairs>
 Lore: Ha! Right one!
[23:18] arynwyn: Kil: <looks at Lore> Well? What is it?
[23:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <babbles for a bit about what the herb is and what it does, yadda yadda, herb geek stuff>...it likes temperate areas, but it grows most extensively in the Hillsbrad Foothills.  So...<grins>...guess it's time to hop a bat to Tarren Mill, hm?
 
 ((I had to stop and be sure that I meant Hillsbrad Foothills. - I keep getting it mixed up with Arathi Highlands for some reason.))
[23:22] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
 
 Kil: <starts heading upstairs at "Hillsbrad">
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <he's all proud that he figured it out>
[23:23] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Just had to say that, on Lore's behalf))
[23:23] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[23:24] arynwyn: (( Is Lore going too? Or is Kil going alone? ))
[23:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Good question))
 Lore: <comes out of his "I'm so freakin' nifty"-ness and follows him> So, what's the plan?
[23:25] arynwyn: Kil: <gathering up another sword and two daggers> Kill him. <pulling on more armor> 
[23:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Yeah, but...you going to scour Hillsbrad till you find her?  There are lots of caves and little hidden places in there.
[23:31] arynwyn: (( sorry, Tim called. we're gunna go out to eat after he gets home ))
[23:32] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay! :D  where at?))
[23:32] arynwyn: Kil: I don't have a choice, now do I? You wouldn't search for Ari if she had been kidnapped? 
[23:32] arynwyn: (( dunno yet. somewhere sit-down. Ruby Tuesday or Outback or something :3 ))
[23:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooo....tasty! :3 ))
 Lore: Of course I would.  But try and go about it smarter. <thinks> He'll want a cave, somewhere hidden.  He'll want it near Tarren Mill for supplies, but not so close that he's easily found...
[23:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Damn you, Stephen Colbert!! Now I want Doritos...))
[23:38] arynwyn: Kil: <nods and runs a hand through his hair> Anything else? Any other jewels of wisdom before I go?
[23:38] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[23:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: Take Fang with you.  He knows what Talya smells like.
 Fang: <asleep in the corner, he lifts his head hearing his name>
 Lore: And look for [that herb]; it should be near where he's got her hidden.
[23:43] arynwyn: Kil: <nods> Okay. Come one Fang, let's go. If I'm not back by dawn tomorrow you may  need to go after her yourself. 
[23:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Lore: <nods> I understand.  Go on, Fang.
 Fang: <looks at Lore and then trots over to Killian, yawning and stretching> 
[23:46] arynwyn: Kil: <slips out the back door, heading to the Undercity to hop a bat>
[23:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF to Tarren Mill?))
[23:46] arynwyn: (( Yeah. And I guess we're not going right away. <sigh> ))
[23:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((not going to dinner right away? :( ))
[23:47] arynwyn: (( no, not yet. ))
[23:47] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awwwwwww :( ))
[23:47] arynwyn: Kil: <dismounts the bat and looks around, wondering where to start. he sighs and heads out of town, looking for this herb, and looking for hidden places and caves>
[23:47] arynwyn: (( my fault. I'm not hungry at the moment. ))
[23:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <sniffs around, pretty much ignoring where Kil's going.  He starts off in one direction, changes course...and again...sniff sniff sniff>
[23:50] arynwyn: Kiil:  <glances back at Fang and sighs, then goes back over to him> Okay. Following you. Sniff her out. <keeps his eyes peeled for hidden places and the herb>
[23:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <lopes off in one direction>
[23:51] arynwyn: Kil: <jogs after him>
[23:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <after a long run, he stops near the (acutal) foothills, and starts sniffing around again>
[23:52] arynwyn: Kil: <sighs and wishes he'd hurry up, looking around still>
[23:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <prowl and sniff around, sniff and prowl around...sneeze>
[23:54] arynwyn: Kil: <looks over at him, then steps over and kneels down> You found it.  <he pokes at the herb, then stands and looks around> Okay, now where is he hiding?...
[23:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <growls at the herb like it did it deliberately ((god he hates that stuff ^_^; )), then prowls around.  There doesn't seem to be a cave here...until Fang starts pawing at what looks like ivy covered rock.>
[23:55] arynwyn: Kil: <goes over and pushes on the rock, pushing it aside with a grunt>
[23:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <bounds into the cave as soon as he can, loping off into the darkness>
[23:58] arynwyn: Kil: Fang! <chases after, wishing he had brought a torch or something. he draws one of his swords>
[00:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <there's a growl and then a yipe! from the darkness ahead>
 <There's also a sudden low Oof! and a grunt>
[00:01] arynwyn: Kil: Who's there? <holding his sword up, ready for anything> Katalya? 
[00:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Killian?
 <a not at all cat-like growl, and there's a quick whisper of metal against leather>
 <It's fairly dark, but there is light filtering in from the opening>
[00:03] arynwyn: Kil: Katalya! Are you alright? <looking around> Where are you? 
[00:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Shit, he stealthed...but your back to the wa...<she cries out and stops talking>
 <very cat like growl>
[00:06] arynwyn: Kil: Leave her alone! <does as instructed and puts his back to the wall, sliding deeper into the cavern> Katalya, did he hurt you? Are you tied up? <draws his other sword>
[00:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Yes.
 Stop talking.  <the voice is a low growl, short and clipped>
 Okay...
 <there's another grunt and the sound of something hitting the rock floor of the cave>
 <growl, roar...feline cry of pain>
 Ugh.... 
 
 ((And yes he should be able to track by sound.  His eyes should be adjusting too))
[00:10] arynwyn: (( okies... ))
[00:10] arynwyn: (( he's stealthed, though, right? ))
[00:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<nods> Yeah.  Kat's doing what she's doing through echolocation.))
[00:11] arynwyn: Kil: <sliding deeper> Katalya, don't listen to him... Keep talking to me. 
 
 (( And I'm kind of waiting for you to set the scene... unless she's hidden somehow and he can't find Fang? <shrug> ))
[00:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No, it's a pretty linear cave, and not terribly deep.  Fang is effectively down for the count now))
 
 I don't know where he is now....<coming from straight ahead of him>...be careful.
 <On cue, there's a weight against Killian's body and a bite of cold metal in his right shoulder>
[00:16] arynwyn: Kil: <cries out in pain and brings his sword around to dig into Sas's side. he shoves him off and brings his other sword up>
[00:18] Chaos Angel Sox: <there's another oof and a grunt, then dark liquid drops bloom on the rock floor>
 Killian? Are you alright?
 <growl from the wall opposite Kil>
[00:18] arynwyn: (( Uhm... so what happened? ))
[00:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He's recovering from getting a sword in the side and then being thrown up against the wall.  He's bleeding though...which should give away his position))
[00:20] arynwyn: Kil: <puts a hand to the wound in his shoulder> He got me, and it was poisoned. <he slides further in, looking for Kat> If I cut your bonds, can you cure the poison? <his vision darkening>
[00:21] arynwyn: (( okay, sorry. ))
[00:22] Chaos Angel Sox: ((why for sorry? <huggleses>))
 Yes...you're almost here.  Another few feet, you should be able to see me...
 <low angry growl - it's close and behind Kil>
[00:22] arynwyn: Kil: <turns suddenly, lashing out with his sword, praying he hits something> 'm coming Kat... <his voice sounds weak>
[00:25] Chaos Angel Sox: <cry of pain, and more blood on the rock.  There's the sound of something scraping against the wall and floor - the blood retreats away from Killian (he's stumbling away in pain)>
 You don't sound good.  Hurry.  I'm right here.  Come to my voice.  <keeps talking soothingly, a constant stream of sound>
[00:27] arynwyn: Kil: <stumbles over, his hands out, and collapses just beside her. he pulls out a dagger and begins to cut the rope that binds her hands. when they're free he pushes the dagger into her hand and goes limp>
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sits up from the pile of blankets she's laying on, and casts Purify immediately, then starts on the healing spells.  She rolls him onto his back on the blankets, cuts the bonds on her ankles and then kisses his forehead before casting more healing spells> Killian...
[00:30] arynwyn: Kil: <struggles to sit up> 'm fine. <he pulls himself to his feet and looks around for Sasuke> ...gotta kill that bastard. <his eyes follow the trail of blood and he readies his sword, stepping over> Heal Fang. Lore'll never forgive me if he dies.
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: ((had to annoy the cat for a sec...))
[00:32] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <nods and gets up unsteadily.  She follows the wall until she finds Fang and heals him>
 
 <the trail of blood is leading out of the cave>
[00:33] arynwyn: Kil: <follows the trail until he hits outside, then he sighs> He's gone. And it's dark. <he goes back in> Fang okay? <grabs Katalya and pulls her close> Are you okay? 
[00:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I'm better than you are at any rate...<holds onto him tightly>...just...scared.  I don't know what's happened to him.  
 Fang: <sniffs at the blood and growls>
 
[00:35] arynwyn: Kil: 'm fine. <he pulls away> Fang, you okay? Can you track him? I  want to finish this tonight.
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Fang: <growls and starts prowling along the blood trail out of the cave>
 Kat: Did you bring Lore with you or just steal his cat?
[00:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I almost typed "car" >.>))
[00:38] arynwyn: Kil: <following Fang> Just his cat. <deciding if Kat should follow them or not> Come on, Katalya. I want you to get back to Tarren Mill.
[00:38] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <nods> I'm going where you go, Killian.  I've only been tied up and...well, at any rate I'm in the best shape of the three of us.
 Fang: <gets outside and starts sneezing again>
[00:42] arynwyn: Kil: Fang, stop sniffin' the herb and find Sasuke. <he hands Katalya his sword and pulls out his daggers> Fight if you have to, but don't get hurt. I'll never forgive myself. And gods, Kat, let me kill him... <half grin>
[00:42] arynwyn: (( so, apparently we're not going out tonight... >.> ))
[00:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awwww why for no?))
 
 Fang: <sneeze sneeze - he shakes his head>
 Kat: <nods, then sneezes too - and again> I don't think...<sneeze> it's an her...herb...<sneeze> 
 
 ((sure rogues have sneezing powder.  why not? ^_^ ))
[00:44] arynwyn: (( <giggle> made from that herb =P ))
[00:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((quite probable))
[00:45] arynwyn: Kil: <looks around> So he's stealthed. And maybe passed out fra- fra- <sneezes hard> ...ugh. Passed out from blood loss. Come on, let's check the area.
[00:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <sneeze> He's also got a head start on us...<looks around, trying to spot the blood>
 Fang: <wanders away from the cave opening and paws at his nose, still sneezing>
[00:48] arynwyn: S
[00:48] arynwyn: (( Oops >.> ))
[00:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laugh>  and why come no going out? You should celebrate telling Mark to Fuck Off :D ))
[00:49] arynwyn: Kil: <bends down and begins to feel around for a stealthed body, following Fang>
 
 (( <LOL> Well, I wasn't hungry right away and now Tim's too lazy to go out. ))
[00:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awww.))
 
 Fang: <just seems to be backing away from the cave entrance and occasionally sneezing still>
 Kat: He scattered the sneezing...<sneeze>..powder to throw Fang off...
[00:52] arynwyn: Kil: Damn it! <he stands back up and walks back over to Kat> I guess we're not going to get him tonight. <sigh>
 
 (( Go here  (Link: http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=25465)http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=25465&nbsp;-))
[00:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Heh, I've seen some of those before, though I like the Unemployment one))
 
 Kat: Let's just go...I want to be home, Killian.
[00:55] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Yeah ))
[00:56] arynwyn: Kil: <nods and wraps an arm around her and heads back toward Tarren Mill> Tell me exactly what happened. <looking back> Come on Fang.
[00:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: I was going home, and then there was a cloth over my mouth and a strange smell....then it all went black.  When I woke up, I wasn't even sure I was awake.  I could hear Sasuke's voice but I couldn't see anything.  It took awhile for my eyes to adjust to the cave.  He was babbling about how happy we were going to be, about how you didn't deserve me....I think he's really gone crazy, Killian.
 Fang: <trots along behind them, looking around warily>
[01:00] arynwyn: Kil: <sighs and pulls her close, his good arm around her> Seems so. <he kisses her temple> I should have killed him last time. But are you okay? Did he hurt you? 
[01:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: Other than that slap he gave me when he wanted me to shut up...he just...when you came in, he was...trying to...<looks highly uncomfortable> let me just say I'm glad mail is such a pain in the ass to get on...and take off.
[01:04] arynwyn: Kil: <scowls> Bastard... <he holds her protectively> He's not going to touch you ever again. <as they come to Tarren Mill> Come on, let's get you home. I'll draw you a bubble bath and you can soak. <kisses her cheek and pays for their bat rides>
[01:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Kat: <nod nod>
 
 <watches them fly off from the bushes with a dark scowl, then resumes bandaging himself>  ((Just to leave ominously there...))
[01:05] arynwyn: (( ooooo! <giggle> ))
[01:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well, Sasuke as played by Du was always Johnny-on-the-Spot with the bandages.))
[01:06] arynwyn: (( <laugh> ))
[01:06] arynwyn: (( mkay, so... ))
[01:07] arynwyn: (( I gotta throw in laundry but then what should we do? you still got a couple more hours, don't you? ))
[01:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Well 2 more hours until I ought to go to bed.  Whether I really will or not...^_^;; And I don't know what to do.  I'm pretty much out of ideas.    'course I don't even know what I'm doing for NaNoWriMo >.>
[01:08] arynwyn: *(( Me either and I'm starting to panic. >.> ))
[01:09] arynwyn: (( Well, there's the Ash thing, Charise's book, Damien's evil... ))
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: No panic.  I keep thinking I'll just start typing and see where it goes from there....or we could do a brainstorm session, if you want?  Try and come up with stuff.
 
 You could do that crystal idea you told me and Mark about that one time: the princess and the boy and such?  Or that thief dream you had that one other time? :)
[01:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh! Or we could come up with charas for our non-WoW world too!
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: I have a *.txt file of story starters - nice moody interesting beginnings.  'course there're only three in there, but still...and a *.doc of random character beginnings.
[01:14] arynwyn: Nice. Share if you care to. ^^
[01:14] arynwyn: Sorry, went to throw in laundry.
[01:14] Chaos Angel Sox: is okay :)  I figured
[01:14] *** arynwyn has received Story Starters.txt.
[01:17] arynwyn: I might do the crystal idea. I didn't like how Mark twisted it though. The point was for her to be killing herself...
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: and then the characters: a queen in training, a courtesan in training (from watching too much "Firefly") and a warrior in training...wait, I see a pattern....
[01:17] arynwyn: <laugh>
[01:18] *** arynwyn has received practice.rtf.
[01:18] Chaos Angel Sox: And you should do it the way you want to. :P not the way I want you to or the way Mark wants you to.  Fuck that ^_~
[01:18] arynwyn: Yep.
[01:19] Chaos Angel Sox: :D You like dark stuff, don'tcha? ^_^;
[01:19] arynwyn: Oh yes!
[01:20] Chaos Angel Sox: My vote's for either expanding on the crystal story or writing a vampire story :D   But that's just what I think.  
[01:21] arynwyn: mmmm... vampires. What I love to write about the most. But also what I fear writing the most. I always feel like my vampire stories are uber cheesy...
[01:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <shrugs> First of all, we're always hardest on our own works - though that reminds me: you ever read that story fragment I sent you? <laugh>  And second of all, NaNoWriMo is about quantity, not quality.  Just getting into the habit of writing every day.
[01:22] arynwyn: I suppose. >.<
[01:22] arynwyn: Let me check if I have it on this compy or if it's on the other. You may have to send it to me again. >.>
[01:23] Chaos Angel Sox: doable :)
 So don't worry about if it's uber cheesy.  Cheese is tasty anyway ^_~
[01:23] arynwyn: <laugh> Okay. Yes, please resend it. :-)
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Which addy? Gmail or Hotmail?
[01:24] arynwyn: Hotmail is still my main.
[01:24] Chaos Angel Sox: kk :D
[01:24] arynwyn: Thanks.
[01:26] Chaos Angel Sox: My message has been sent. :)
[01:26] arynwyn: Thank yah!
[01:26] arynwyn: mkay, you wanna do the Damien evil?
[01:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Sure sure :D
[01:29] arynwyn: Mkay. So... Rav has just gotten back and Ren has just bought a new house. They've moved in and Ren has requested a handful of Blood Knights for security, and they will be arriving in a week. So until they, the family is own their own. Oh, and the house is in Silvermoon instead of Eversong.
[01:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Oooo actually IN the city.  :D  
 And I'm sure Cyla will still be patrolling...Brennan still with them?
[01:31] arynwyn: Yep!
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Yay!
[01:33] arynwyn: <it's morning, Cyla is sleeping by now, and the house starts to stir>
 Ren: <rolls out of bed, leaning over to kiss Rav's forehead before moving to get dressed> 
[01:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <stirs and reaches for her husband sleepily> ...Ren? <she murmurs>
[01:36] arynwyn: Ren: <smiles as he pulls on his robe> Yes, my dear? I'm sorry to wake you. I'm going down for breakfast and then I have to go in to work. 
[01:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <sighs and works to awaken, sitting up (one shoulder of her nightgown falling off, as usual).  She yawns and stretches> I should get up too then...the Temple runs itself mostly but...if I don't put in an appearance...<yawns again> I'll be down in a little bit.  Should I wake the children?
[01:41] arynwyn: Ren: <pulling on his shoes> I'm sure Jezmine (a servant) has woken them already. Their tutor requested they rise early today. I believe they're going on some kind of hike today. <there's a knock at the door and Ren steps over to answer it. It's Jezmine, looking nervous and worried>
 Jez: My Lord... <glancing at Rav, then lowering her head> I'm sorry to bother you my Lord. But if you please... <she motions down the hall>
 Ren: <looks surprised to see her, but he steps out in the hall, leaving the door cracked. they disappear down the hall and a few moments later Rav can hear a thud and a strangled cry coming from down the hall>
[01:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <pulls her robe on, running down the hallway> What happened....?
[01:43] arynwyn: Ren: <is on his knees in Mina's... empty... room. servants and the two boys have gathered in the hall around her doorway but they part to let Rav through> 
[01:44] arynwyn: (( Sorry to throw out a second kidnapping, but this is what I had hatched a while back. >.> ))
[01:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...what...where's Mina?  <she looks to the servants>
 
 ((That's cool.  Hell, we've already done a lot of kidnappings.  I honestly just couldn't think of anything else to do with Sasuke >.> ))
[01:45] arynwyn: <everyone shifts but no one answers. the window in her room is open and the curtain billows in the early morning breeze>
 Ren: <clutches at one of Mia'
[01:46] arynwyn: *Mina's dolls. there's a note on her bed that he hasn't yet noticed>
[01:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...oh gods...<she looks around at the room and eventually sees the note>...What is....<she picks it up and opens it to read with trembling hands>
[01:48] arynwyn: <the note says, simply: RESIGN OR SHE WILL DIE>
[01:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: ...Ren...<sinking to her knees next to him, she shows him the note> ...oh Light...
[01:50] arynwyn: Ren: <takes the note, read it, then tosses it aside. he stands quickly and pushes out of the room> 
[01:50] arynwyn: *reads
[01:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <watches him go, then does her best to pull herself together.  She stands and goes over to the boys, hugging them fiercely>
[01:53] arynwyn: Ren: <returns a few minutes later with a letter in his hand, his face hard and set> My letter of resignation. Whoever wants this damnable position can have it. I'm through. <he kisses her quickly> Watch the boys... 
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Rav: <nods, holding on to them> Take someone with you.  Just in case.  Please?
[01:55] arynwyn: Ren: I'll take Brennan. <he goes down a few doors and bangs on it> Brennan!
 Bren: <pulls the door open looking tired, his hair mussed> What's going on?
 Ren: Get dressed. And hurry. I'll explain everything on the way...
[01:55] arynwyn: (( So, uhm, honestly, that's all there is... >.> ))
[01:55] Chaos Angel Sox: (( ;__; I want Mina back!))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( <laugh> She'll be back. As soon as Ren resigns. ))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( Do you want to RP it? ))
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I <3 Mina.  And we don't have to.  It's just going to be happy sobbing and such.))
[01:56] arynwyn: (( Yeah, exactly. Mkay, so... sorry that was so short. >.> ))
[01:57] Chaos Angel Sox: It's okay.  We can't always do epic-ness. ^_^
[01:57] arynwyn: Mkay.
[01:57] arynwyn: What now?
[01:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Um.  Chari's book?
[01:59] arynwyn: Okies. Start with entering Jaes? :3 :3 :3
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I'm here!  I'm entering!  Do I get to enter Chari? <smirk>
 Me: <whap> Behave.  One track mind.
 Jaes: Okay that was a joke....kind of.  ^_^
[02:00] arynwyn: <giggle> Hot.
[02:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <winks> You know it. <grin>
 
 Where's Jaes entering?  And don't you say anything, buster.
 Jaes: <looks innocent and whistles>
[02:01] arynwyn: Chari's room at the guild hall, right?
[02:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Oh one of those entrances.  Right, got it. ^_^; 
[02:01] arynwyn: WHEE! <3
[02:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <quietly climbs in through Charise's window...and promptly trips on the rug.  He manages only a brief stumble before catching himself in time, and exhales quietly>
[02:03] arynwyn: (( <LOL> "I'm never going to get used to the 31st (I think) century. Caffeinated bacon? Baconated Grapefruit? Admiral Crunch?" "Oh, if you don't like that, try Archduke Chocula." -Futurama ))
[02:04] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Wooo! Archduke Chocula!))
[02:04] arynwyn: Char: <is scribbling in her little book, as usual, and she smiles over at him> Ah, finally. <she closes her book and slips it in the drawer of her nightstand> 
[02:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((should he just ask, or be sneaky about it?))
[02:06] arynwyn: (( <shrug> Either. She's going to avoid the subject though. ))
[02:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Dream diary?  Hope it's filled with dreams about me....<grinning>
[02:07] arynwyn: Char: <smiles> Something like that. <she pats the bed next to her> I forgot to bring up wine tonight. We could always sneak down though. It's late enough that everyone is in their rooms. I can't promise they're sleeping, but... <grin>
[02:09] arynwyn: (( GAH! Why did you stop?!?!?!?! ))
[02:09] arynwyn: (( That's so GOOD! ))
[02:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <he laughs as he sits next to her> I don't need any...<leaning in close> You're intoxicating enough...<kissing her neck a little, his lips barely brushing her skin>
 
 ((hm?))
[02:09] arynwyn: (( Your story!! ))
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh the story?  <laughs> I need the right word for "penis" >.> which is a really sad thing to admit.))
[02:10] arynwyn: Char: <shivers and grins> Good answer. <she wraps her arms around him and pulls him closer, kissing him deeply>
[02:10] arynwyn: (( I could offer a few, but... >.> ))
[02:10] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Use THINGER! ))
[02:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL>))
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Not quite the feel I'm going for there....<giggles>))
 
 Jaes: Well it's true.  I figured you wouldn't like me lying to you..<he traces light patterns on the back of her neck> So now the question is, what to do with you tonight? <pulls away to grin at her>
[02:16] arynwyn: (( sorry, laundry and Tim got back with foods. ))
[02:16] arynwyn: Char: <grins back and leans in to kiss his neck> I think it's your night... <as she pushes him back and down>
[02:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay foods!!!! ))
[02:17] *** arynwyn has received Bit to share.txt.
[02:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: I don't see why it can't be a night for both of us...<running his hand down along her body from her shoulder and grins> I was always taught to share after all.
[02:19] arynwyn: Char: <giggles softly, her hands working at his clothing> Staying later tonight then? Usually we don't have long enough...
[02:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Maybe...also, no reason we can't do both at the same time. <nuzzles her ear> I like seeing you happy.  Like making you happy.  
[02:24] arynwyn: Char: <smiles as she gets his shirt off> I like making you happy... <she trails kisses down his chest to the top of his pants, working at his belt> I do make you happy, don't I?
[02:26] arynwyn: (( <happy tummy> ))
[02:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Every time you smile. <pulls her up to kiss her, burying his hands in her hair at first, then sliding his hands down along her body, far enough to start pulling her nightgown up>
[02:27] Chaos Angel Sox: ((YAY! :D ))
[02:29] arynwyn: Char: <returns the kiss with a deep intensity, her hands on either side of his face. she rests on top of him, her body pressed against his>
[02:29] arynwyn: (( Oh, and if you don't want to RP this part, we can FF. :-) ))
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: (( >.> Joe's kind of close by...the main thing is that Jaes wants to tire her out so he can start snooping.))
[02:30] arynwyn: (( <laugh> I figured. ))
[02:30] arynwyn: Char: <snuggles up to him after their fun, closing her eyes and yawning>
[02:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <kisses her temple and her cheek and her ear> Get some rest.  <contented sigh> We expended a lot of energy tonight, hmm? <grin>
[02:32] arynwyn: Char: <soft chuckle> Mmh. You're amazing. <she snuggles into her pillow> I'll see you tomorrow for lunch, right?
[02:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Of course.  Every chance I have to see you, I jump at.  <smiles and hums a lullaby softly>
[02:36] arynwyn: Char: <zonks out a minute later> ZzzZzzZzz...
Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Wed Oct 31 02:41:57 2007
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: So, Murphy turned off my computer.
[02:42] arynwyn: Whoa. O_o 
[02:42] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[02:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Repost please? as I have now shut the cat in the laundry room with his litterbox.
[02:42] arynwyn:  Jaes: Of course.  Every chance I have to see you, I jump at.  <smiles and hums a lullaby softly> 
 Arynwyn (8:35:52 PM): Char: <zonks out a minute later> ZzzZzzZzz...
[02:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <watches her sleep for a minute, as much to enjoy the sight of her as to make sure she's passed out.  He smiles softly, brushing his lips against her forehead briefly>
 
 ((Is she closer to the nightstand she put the book into or is he?))
[02:45] arynwyn: (( Uhm. Doesn't matter. In my mind she's closer, but that can be changed. ))
[02:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((That's fine, just need to know how to describe it))
 
 Jaes: <clambers out of bed silently, being careful not to wake her, and sneaks around to the nightstand, pulling the drawer open quietly and lifting the book out. He retreats to a chair to sit and open it>
[02:50] arynwyn: <the book is small and leatherbound. the first page reads, in Charise's small cursive, "Book Eleven, A Tale of Pirates"... The next page starts with chapter one and, flipping through, goes to chapter 23, which isn't yet finished>
[02:50] arynwyn: (( Oh, and in the drawer are two other books... ))
[02:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Intriguing...<he says quietly, and starts reading.  He smiles over at her sleeping occasionally> and you thought you were no good at this....<going back to reading>
[02:52] arynwyn: <and it is, indeed, good>
[02:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <Ponder ponder...he looks out the window and the sun's threatening to rise.  He puts the unfinished book back in the drawer and pulls out one of the others, flipping through it to see if it's filled>
[02:54] arynwyn: <the other two books, 9 and 10, are finished, titled "A Secret Rose" and "Silverwings" respectively>
[02:57] Chaos Angel Sox: <he grabs book 9, shuts the drawer, and heads to the window.  He blows her a kiss and slips off, tripping a little on a loose shingle>
[02:57] arynwyn: (( <giggle> Mkay. So... bedtime or more? ))
[02:58] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Hostel's on. More's good ^_^ ))
[02:58] arynwyn: (( sweet ))
[02:59] arynwyn: (( Okay, so... she's probably not going to notice the book being gone until she's packing up to move in with him... do you want to FF that far or do someone else? ))
[02:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We can do that.  's okay with me :D ))
[02:59] arynwyn: (( Sweet ))
[03:00] arynwyn: <it's night, around the time for Jaes to show, and Char is digging through boxes. there are only four or five of them, and it looks as if she's packed them but is now in the process of unpacking>
[03:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <is crouched half in, half out of the window> Hey there, pretty lady. <grins> Are you ready to come be live a life of pampered elegance and constant pleasure? <smirk>
[03:02] arynwyn: Char: <glances over at him, looking distracted> Hey Jaes... <goes back to digging through boxes> Mostly. I've just misplaced something...
[03:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: Oh? <finishing coming back in> What's that? <walks over behind her, looking over her shoulder at the boxes> One of your incredible novels? <smile>
[03:04] arynwyn: Char: <stops digging and looking up at him, turning very red> It's just a book. <clears her throat and goes back to her bedside table, opening the drawer> I thought it was in here, but it's not.
[03:04] arynwyn: *and looks up
[03:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes:  You let a thief in every night and you're surprised something's missing? <he flops onto the bed, stretching out> And it really is incredible.  Where's Book 1?
[03:06] arynwyn: Char: You took it? <still crimson, she goes to sit on the bed next to him> You read it?...
[03:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <nods> I've read it over and over again.  I want the rest.  I have a publisher friend who might be interested too...
[03:09] arynwyn: Char: <blink...blinkblink> Oh no. <shakes her head> No no no... <she stands and begins putting everything back in the boxes>
[03:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: No? <sitting up> Why not?  They're really good!  Interesting characters, compelling plot...it's one of the best things I've read in a long time.
[03:11] arynwyn: Char: They're silly. It's just how I pass the time. <not looking at him, still blushing heavily. she finishes putting everything into the boxes but doesn't return to the bed, instead she fidgets with stuff, shifting it around and reorganizing it>
[03:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <stands and walks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissing her neck> Well how you pass the time is fascinating, pretty lady.  And whether you let me take them to my friend or not, I'd love to read the whole series.
[03:15] arynwyn: Char: It's not a series... <she sighs a little> I... I suppose you can read them, if you really want to. The rest are still at my parents' house. <she turns and looks up at him, smiling faintly> You really thought it was good?
[03:18] arynwyn: (( Aww. Tim laid down next to me on the futon and fell asleep. <3 <3 <3 ))
[03:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <he smiles> I thought it was excellent.  <bending to kiss her>  I'm not the least bit surprised.  Everything about you is excellent.
 
 ((Awww! :3 ))
[03:19] arynwyn: Char: <slowly turns red again> I finished my most recent one last night, actually. I don't think it's very good. It's the first adventure story I've written... <she digs around in a box and pulls out number 11 and hands it to him> Read it if you want. But tell me, honestly, if you don't like it.
[03:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <takes it> I'll give you my honest opinion, I promise.  I liked what I read of it so far.  It was the first one I picked up.
[03:23] arynwyn: Char: <sighs in mock exasperation>  No secrets from you. <she kisses him>
[03:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: <grins> Of course not.  I'll ferret them all out of you eventually.
[03:26] arynwyn: Char: <laughs and pulls him toward the bed, kissing him again>
[03:27] arynwyn: (( d'you work tomorrow night? er... Wednesday night? ))
[03:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: A wife shouldn't have any secrets from her husband, after all, right? <kissing her lips and her neck, caressing every curve of her>
 
 ((Yeah. <sighs>  Advisor appointment, then class, then work...it's going to suck.))
[03:27] arynwyn: (( oh dear. >.< ))
[03:28] arynwyn: Char: And her husband? He doesn't have any secrets from her, does he? <pressing up against him and sighing happily>
[03:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Jaes: If you ever have a question, ask me, and I'll tell you the truth.  I swear.  <running his hands up over her breasts>
